Good evening!
I'm sat here watching the new drama on More4 called Nashville...it's looking interesting so far! Myself, Jen and a couple of others are planning on going there in 2015 for my 40th bitrthday! Of course, if that is to happen, I need to stop spending so much at Stampin' Up! lol! Oh well...something's got to give...maybe I could stop eating...then I'd be skinny too lol!
Ok, here is the reason I came on tonight. A card I quickly made trying a technique I have seen used so much, but never tried.
I basically stamped the flowers 3 times each between inkings, which gives the graduated flowers.
I stamped 3 flowers and cut them out, curled them for definition and added gems for a little sparkle. I then cut out an aperture with the word window and stamped my current favourite Thank You in it.
Products used
Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
Stamps - Bloomin' Marvellous (Sale-A-Bration), Elegant Thank You

Love this one Lizy. Love the effect of stamping more than once without re-inking and the aperture for the thank you is an idea I might try.
ReplyDeleteI seem to have spent the day making "quick" cards. Mmmm not all made as quickly as I would have liked!
