Hi everyone, hope you're all well.
I want to show you the card I've made using the fab pressie I got from my best friend Sue. It's my birthday on Sunday but Sue will be on nights so I won't be able to see her so I got my pressie early during a lovely evening and yummy takeaway - so thanks Susie, we had a lovely evening. I had a go at Project 1 in the book and then added it to a card, combining it with some Spellbinders. Here is the finished product...
I made the corners with one of the Ironwork Motif dies, embossing it with a spotty mask through the die and cutting it in 4. The dies in the centre of the parchment are the 2 smallest Opulent Ovals. The sentiment peel off is on a Petite Labels One die. All dies are mounted on foam pads, finishing off with a double bow and some silver pearls (from The Hobby House).
I've got a long way to go learning this craft but it's good to try something new sometimes. I'm really pleased how this turned out.
I would like to enter this for the following:-
