Special Card…
I’ve made this card for a special aunt & will post it this arvo, although I must admit it will be a day late, but you know the old saying “Better late, than never”
For my card, I’ve taken the sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping It also qualifies for my group’s weekly challenge, I think!
Group’s Weekly Challenge # 119 – Focusing on Embellishments. We must have at least 3 emblishments on our project.
Base Card – Concord Crush – 5 7/8″ x 4 1/8″ or 15cm x 10.5cm – Score & fold

Layer 3 – Blushing Bride – 4 1/2″ x 2 7/8″ or 10.5cm x 7cm
DSP – 1 3/4″ x 2 7/8″ or 4.5cm x 7cm
I stamped the Blushing Bride Cardstock randomly using Blushing Bride Ink & my flower image & adhered it to the base card.

I added the Brad to the middle of the Ribbon prior to adhering this to the top of the DSP. I adhered Blushing Bride Cardstock to Concord Crush & adhered the whole lot to the Base Card.

Glitter…
This is another set I’ve had for quiet some time, but have not used it as much as I should have. It makes for a lovely card. We all tend to go for our newer stamps, forgetting that our older stamps are feeling very lonely on our shelves & still do such a lovely job. I will admit that some of my favourite stamps are the older stamp sets I have.

A beautiful photo of a lovely little bird!
I’ve created this card for the challenge over at Our Creative Corner
Like most of my cards, I’ve tried to keep it for any occasion, ie Birthday, Sympathy, Thank You, etc I find this works easiest for me, then I am not having to try & think of a card to make at the last moment. I will also make a lot of cards with no sentiment/greeting so that when I do need a card in a hurry, I then stamp a sentiment/greeting, either directly onto the card or adhere one to the card.
For my card –
Cut base card using Chocolate Chip Cardstock
Cut smaller piece of Cardstock using Riding Hood Red & adhere to base card
Cut Cardstock using Chocolate Chip – 4″ x 2 1/2″
Cut piece of Garden Green Cardstock – 3 7/8″ x 2 3/8
Adhere Garden Green to Chocolate Chip
Cut piece of Watercolour Paper – 3 3/4″ x 2 1/4″
Stamp image using Chocolate Chip Ink
This card could be used for male or female or for that matter any occasion!
Until next time, Enjoy!
