WOW! How exciting to be participating in one of the largest Blog Hops I have ever seen.. But I’m not on the computer much so what do I know LOL!! Thanks Kellie for inviting us to play along ;)
My card today was made with my favorite color – pink LOL. I used the color wheel to help determine the other colors, but pink was my main focus because of that beautiful ribbon. This layout has been an image in my mind for quite some time, and when asked to play along today, I thought it would be a perfect fit.
- Stamp image on vanilla stock, then cut and emboss using Spellbinders die templates and the Wizard die cutting system, and continue cutting and layering as shown.
- Using Copic Markers, color image.
- Tear patterned paper along top, and down one side.
- Cut vellum to fit in folder, and emboss using the Cuttlebug.
- Layer starting with the card base, vellum then add your ribbon, and card front.
- The scalloped paper was made by tracing around some scrap paper I had, and cut out by hand. Add silver cord to buttons, and attach to scalloped paper with Glue Dots.
- Add image, and bow.
I’ve listed all supplies used at the end of this long post, have fun and GOOD Luck!!!
