Thom & I recently
celebrated our anniversary – had a lovely time in Charleston, SC! (It was a wonderfully romantic time away from
home in a beautiful city!) As I’ve
mentioned previously, guy cards can be a challenge for a woman who loves flowers
and bling, but I hope that I rose to the challenge. I used the same stamp set as my previous post;
just used the bicycle this time. Thom
& I like to bicycle when time and health permits so it just seemed to work
for me. I wanted to use my new
Spellbinders Die Page Maps (designed by Becky Fleck) and the banners in SU DSP
Pool Party seemed a perfect fit! So here
is my list of products used!
·
Stamp set(s): SU Feeling Sentimental (SAB) & Word Play
·
Ink(s): SU Midnight Muse
· Paper:
All from SU – Whisper White, Midnight Muse, DSP Pool Party, and DSP
Pattern Stack, 2012-2014
· Dies & Embossing folders: All Spellbinders dies – Classic Scalloped
Squares, Classic Scalloped Ovals, Large and Page Maps
· Embellishments/Other things of
note: DMS Embroidery Floss # 311,
Recollections Super Fine Glitter, SU Jewels Basic Rhinestones and SU Buttons,
Bitty
Sometimes,
we are our own worst critic. At first I
wasn’t satisfied with this offering, but the more I looked at it the card, the
more I realized that I was looking at it through my FLOWER Glasses – the lens
that I use for most of my designs. I
like the flow of the smaller banners on the paper when juxtaposed to my larger
banners that I cut out with my new die.
I used the ric rac die that comes with the set to add some movement
across the bottom of the card where I used a 1.75” strip of striped paper – say
that fast – that I added glitter to.
Even my husband needs some bling now & again! LOL
With a couple of heart buttons from the Bitty Collection, I felt that I
completed the project. Thom liked the
card, too, and when it really comes down to it, that is what matters most!
Thanks for stopping by
my little part of the web to take a look!
