I had a wonderful day yesterday at Sew Simple with Emma nd the lovely ladies there! Todays card is one I made as a thank you to Emma and the team for the warm welcome and the great day!
I used my Butterfly striplet stamp as well as the main Butterfly Dreams set to make this card and embossed the triplet stamp with True White detail embossing powder. I did the same with the main element and then smoothed over (using a smoothie of course) Mowed Lawn and Squeezed Lemonade distress ink over the images. I made up the reminder of the card using Primrose, Milk and Pastel Green foundation card and the leafy montage A4 embossing folder. I added a couple of matching stick pins and a grosgrain green and ivory ribbon bow to match.
As you know I don't use green or yellow much at all but I quite liked how this one came out!
Enjoy...
Hi John.

Great card but not being a fan of bows i'd prefer it without but that's just me.

Eh up John
ReplyDeleteIts showing a very peculiar colour on my screen, which I'm sure is not a true representation of its real colour but I love the staggered layer design.
I won't mention the bow lol!
Have a great day.

I love how you've offset the Striplet aperture Not sure about the colours I'd like to see it close up I'm a bit like you and don't use green (school uniform) much
ReplyDeleteHello John, really great card, the aperture and sentiment panel create a great tiered effect. Have a great day. Bx
