I couldn't think of a more appropriate sentiment for Julie than "SMILE" - I know she is feeling so supported this weekend from her friends in the crafting community! I used products from
a muse|studio for my card. Want to know how to make that stamped flourish??!!
LOOKIE!! First ink up one of the stamps from
Vintage Labels and then add a flourish at each end from
Ornate Elements!! So simple - don't even need to use a stamp positioner. I was quite tickled when I stamped this the first time - ran around the house showing my husband and sons and they, sadly, were not as impressed as I had hoped for but what do you expect from males?
To add an interesting end to my stamped flourish I cut it with one of the
Nestabilities Labels 1 dies. Use the layout/sandwich pictured above and you can cut just the end of your stamped panel no matter how long it may be!
Texture was added to the
Toffee cardstock with the
Woodgrain/Harlequin Impression plate and then the card was finished with a paper doily (found in the baking section of most stores),
French Roast Twill Ribbon and a
Butterfly diecut from
gingham paper adorned with
Chocolate Pearls. The selection of gorgeous rich colors was inspired by this week's
Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger - Treat Yourself! challenge.
I hope you enjoyed your stop here on the
hop! The next stop is Laura Williams’s blog. Make sure you leave a comment here

for our friend!
