Friendly Hello meets Square Vellum Doilies

    Thank you for joining me today!

Happy Birthday Gemma

Using mostly 'Sale A Bration' items (available until the 28th February 2022.

A fairly easy card to make using layers, colouring and heat embossing on the vellum. As I was about to put the card in it's envelope I decided to add a bow below the flowers, to give it a pop. I made a double bow with the open weave ribbon in fresh freesia and pale papaya. This really stepped up the card.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic white, pale papaya, pool party, vellum

Designer Series Paper: friendly hello (sab)

Dies: hippo & friends (2,3)

Embossing Powder: clear

Ink: mossy meadow, evening evergreen, versa mark

Stampin' Blends: fresh freesia, mossy meadow, pale papaya, pool party

Stamp Sets: friendly hello (sab)

Accessories: in colour jewels, open weave ribbon, square vellum doilies

 

(sab) = sale a ration, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest
