Sage has two penpals. One she just got this summer & the other she made last summer on our trip to Nanaimo. She's my twin brother's niece and Sage made her this card for the Simon Says Stamp Kids' Summer Vacation Challenge, where the optional theme is ice.
She used some Fresh Squeezed stamps to stamp her jug & glasses, which she paper-pieced with some American Crafts patterned paper. The sentiment is from a Think Big Favourites set.
My card is for the Clearly Besotted Challenge #3, where we were challenged to use the following colour combination:
Stephanie's instructions say that we could use some or all of the colours, so I opted for some. ;) I didn't use the purple at all and I traded the green for aqua mist.
I layered some Teresa Collins patterned paper over some soft stone cardstock. I stamped my feather onto vellum and heat embossed with two colours. I diecut another piece of vellum with my Get a Handle on It die and stamped my sentiment onto it. A button, twine and stitching finishes everything off.
Thanks for looking!
What beautiful cards. Sage's is perfectly executed. And I love the papers you used and your heat embossed feather on your card. And your stitching is always perfect. Mine never looks that great.
