Grassy Grove meets Wildlife Wonder

  Welcome to my blog

and  thank you for joining me today!

Happy Birthday Kevin


Just loved this card so CASEd it from Helen Read's blog. I know this dsp is no longer available but's its just gorgeous, so I keep using it. The card came together quite easily. Blended the background using balmy blue, stamped the images and then layered using the dies and added the linen thread.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic white, early espresso, *misty moonlight, 
Designer Series Paper: *new horizons
Dies: stitched rectangles (5&6)w
Ink: balmy blue, early espresso, evening evergreen, soft succulent
Stamp Sets: grassy grove, *on the horizon, wildlife wonder
Accessories: blending brushes, linen thread
 
* = no longer available, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest, N = narrow, W = wide

Hope you liked today's card. If you would like more information on how to make it, please don't hesitate to contact me, I'd love to hear from you.

If you wish to buy any of the items used, go to contacting me at the top of the page for details on how to order.

Will be back again soon with more cards, in the meantime take care and have a great day.
