I'm not being very good about posting anymore for some reason, well, the reason is lack of time actually. And I am also trying to scrapbook a few pages here and there and they do take me a while to make! Oh yes, and of course there are those inevitable showings of the house!
I did make this birthday card although it's not exactly what I was aiming for and I am not entirely satisfied with the way my flowers turned out, but it's still pretty in its own way.
Paper: cardstock (PTI); designer paper (Basic Grey - Picadilly); Neenah; vellum
Ink: Versamark; Pool Shadow ink - Hero Arts
Stamps: Hero Arts (Flower Dot Pattern - CG330); PTI (sentiment)
Other: embossing tinsel (Snowflake - Ranger); Nestability circle die; PTI flower die; MFT dies (rose and rolled flower); gems & pearls; corner chomper; felt (PTI)
The first layer is white cardstock stamped with the Flower Dot Pattern background stamp and Pool Shadow ink from Hero Arts. Then I die cut two circles and stamped the lighter one with the same ink and stamp previously mentioned. Then came the three different die cut flowers. Those two little circles of patterned paper are bits that were left over when I die cut the PTI flower - it's really bad that I can't throw anything away!
Well, it's raining here, it looks like it might be an all day thing! Perfect wheather for what I need to do next. Being Valentines' tomorrow I wanted to make a card for each child in my daughter's class, I know, it's less than 24 hours away! So, I need to keep this short and be off to make those 22 cards! Please let me find a very simple design!
Have an awesome day!
