I seems funny when I have made hundreds of cards this year I still have special cards I need to send that I haven't made.
This is one such card. My darling grand daughter was born last January and it isn't as if I forgot to make and send a card but more that I wanted it to be super special like her. I just couldn't decide on a design until finally last week I just sat down and made this.
Well it's not as special as she is and it is not profound but hey if I don't give her something soon I will be giving it to her on her 21st!
I used Naturals Ivory cardstock with a layer of the same embossed with the Mosaic embossing folder. I love this folder (even though mine is now in 2 bits due to me trimming it so it fits through the Bigshot on the front of a card- normally not a problem trimming it until you trim the folded end!)
I used an old piece of lace with some apricot ribbon threaded through it. I scored 3 lines at the bottom and finished the lace with some pearls.
I typed the sentiment on MDS and used the ovals collection to cut it out, matting it with a bigger oval in gold. I finished it all off with a clay blossom coloured with a light marker.
Some close friends of our son Ashley were married a couple of weeks ago. The colours for the wedding were white and black so I thought I would make the card to match. I designed the front panel on MDS. Love this digital image. I wrote their names under the image.
I decided not to put a Congratulations sentiment on the front to keep it simple. I cut the image using the Stampin' Up Framelits Windows collection of dies and matted this with the next size of die cut in black. This was then matted onto a square piece of card embossed with the Polka Dot folder. A white clay blossom completed the card.
I made a matching envelope to make it special and embossed the flap and lined it with black designer paper.
Can I post a comment?
