This was another card we made at my recent class, using the lovely stamp set Regarding Dahlias. My friend and fellow demonstrator Sally Williams gave me the idea for this card. She did tell me who she'd cased it from, but I've forgotten. {I do listen to you Sally, honestly...}. This is lovely in real life and the colouring in, is very therapeutic.
Stamp set: Regarding Dahlias, Express Yourself (hostess set)
Card: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla,
Ink: Versamark, White Craft Ink, Raspberry Ripple, Pink Pirouette
Accessories: Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon, Gold Embossing powder, Basic Pearls
Tools: Big Shot, Beautifully Baroque EF, Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Aqua Painter
While you read this, I'll be half way through my trip with work and will only have a few days left in Rome, before we head home. I'm privileged to be on the Monte Cassino trip with the World War 2 Veterans. It's my first time to Europe so I'm very excited.
I hope you've had a wonderful week and an exciting weekend planned. See you back here soon.
This was the second project we made at the classes I held last week. We used the new Spiral Flower die out of the Occasions cattie. The die makes quite a large flower but you can cut off a few notches to make it smaller, as I've done ever so slightly, on the top flower. Now that I'm looking at the photo, I'm wishing I made an even smaller flower and assembled three instead of just two. I think the rule of thumb is to have an uneven amount of embellishments, so I must remember this for next time.
There are a mixture of products from both the Sale-a-Bration catalogue and the Occasions catalogue on this card.
And, here's a close up of the flowers:
Stamp set: Express Yourself (hostess set)
Card: Real Read, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White
Designer Paper: Fresh Prints Designer Paper Stack (OC)
