MY WONDERFUL AUNT

Hello and welcome...

 A cute notelet card for you today, it's only 10.5cm x 13cm

This is from a small section of a gorgeous 12x12" paper from my stash

I used the largest die in the A2 matting Basics B to cut my top folding base card

I then cut the paper to mat onto the base card

I used a Tattered Lace/Tonic corner die (name and make unknown), die cut and embossed it onto a pale pink card then white

If you click on the image you'll see small sections of the pink card peeping out in places

I spray glued the white die cut onto the pink card  then adhered to the card

In my stash I came across a free set of stamps that had the ideal sentiment for me, they were joined onto other phrases so I cut them apart and used a StazOn Ink Pad to stamp the words

The words are very meaningful for me because my aunt is the most wonderful lady I've had the privilege of knowing, so proud to call her 'my aunt', she has always been more of a mother to me than an auntie, we are so very close even though she lives three and a half thousand miles away, in Canada!

HOPE TO SEE YOU BACK TOMORROW FOR OUR

SATURDAY SPECIAL 'CARD GIVE-AWAY'

NEW CHALLENGE ~ #192 TIC, TAC, TOE

Hello and welcome...

Marlene is hosting the new challenge starting today at Crafty Cardmakers and this is my contribution to the Design Team.

The theme is, TIC, TAC, TOE

and if you pop over to the blog , or click on the highlighted link below, you'll see the grid guidelines to follow as well as my 'teamies' fabulous designs.

# 192 Tic, Tac, Toe

I chose the vertical grid on the right hand side, that is; embossing, buttons, die cuts.

I started with a 7" square ivory card and, with my chosen paper, a pretty green paper, I added a thin ivory ribbon, a little below centre.

I have had these gorgeous tiny brad buttons for years and never used them until making this card!  I attached 5 of them across the ribbon, centring them in the middle of each flower printed on the paper.

The flowers are die cuts and I arranged them in a slight arch to the top and bottom of the paper, and adhered another 3 roses, nearly in a vertical position,  to the off set middle of the design. 

I stamped the sentiment onto ivory card, covered it with some double sided adhesive sheet then die cut it and embossed it.  I removed the backing and sprinkled glitter jewels over it and 'tucked' it under the ribbon.

To complete I randomly glued a few silver stars over the area.

INGREDIENTS:

• Ivory card stock ~ my stash
• Green floral paper ~ my stash
