Happy Easter Sheilah

This card was originally created by 'Kim Singdahlsen' and I just tweaked it a little.

Start by doing all the die cutting, stamp the sentiment, emboss the background, add the ribbon, tie the knot, place the elements, add the rhinestones

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic white, bumble bee, just jade, magenta madness, 

misty moonlight, shaded spruce                                                                                                                       

Dies: layering circles (6)P (for sentiment) *wreath builder

Embossing Folders: brick & mortar

Ink: bumble bee

Stamp Sets: *arrange a wreath

Accessories: basic rhinestones, *in color ribbon 2020

Every Chapter meets Scalloped Contours

    Thank you for joining me today!

Happiest of Birthday's to a dear friend

we met in 2006 on a coach touring holiday in America and just clicked as we have similar interests such as reading, we each buy books and swap them every so often and both love card making obviously. Luckily enough our other half's clicked too. Hence a beautiful friendship developed while we traveled through the  southern states. Once back home we visit each other regularly (covid permitting) and have the occasional holiday here at home. 

Thought she'd like this card, it was quite quick and easy to make.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic white, pool party

Designer Vellum: *sheer perfection

Dies: scalloped contours (5)

Embossing Folders: *subtle 3D

Ink: memento black

Stampin' Blends: color lifter, fresh freesia, night of navy, pale papaya, petal pink, pool party real red, seaside spray, so saffron, soft succulent

Stamp Sets: Every Chapter

Accessories: basic rhinestones

 

* = no longer available, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest
