I'm popping in today to share a card that I made for the
I was inspired by the soft colours, the curved edges of the bottles
and the liquids in the bottles to make my card.
I started with a soft stone card stock base.
Then, I trimmed some card stock (PTI's white, aqua mist, tropical teal, spring moss
& hawaiian shores) by hand, adhered it to a thin sheet of card stock
and ran it through my die cutting machine with Mama Elephant's Femme Frames scalloped die.
I ran some vellum through with the stitched rectangle die from the same set.
On this, I stamped part of the sentiment (from Mama Elephant's Smitten stamp set),
using some washi tape to mask out the "you" & heat embossed it in white.
I die cut the "you" (from PTI's Wonderful Words) three times (twice in tropical teal and once in white) and stacked them together before adhering them to my card.
from Pretty Pink Posh finish it off.
I'm also linking this cards up to this week's
Thanks for looking!
