Kraft on Kraft!

Hey Friends! How was your weekend? I hope that it was a fun weekend for you all.

Today, I thought that I would share a card with you that was one other card that I had prepared to use as my honouring card for Dawn McVey..but decided not to use, as I just was not 100% about it..once again, probably just one of those cards that you look at for far too long. So mustering up the courage and now sharing it for you to view.

Taking Kraft card stock and the Beautiful Blooms Die 2, running the dies and card stock through my Cuttlebug, cutting various sizes of the dies. Adhering each of the die cuts to more Kraft card stock that was trimmed to size, adding a dusting of Frost White ink to the edges of the card stock. Taking some vellum, trimming big enough to stamp a sentiment onto, from the Signature Greetings stamp set, wrapping around the Kraft card stock and adhering to the back, so as no adhesive was showing. Trimming, Raspberry Fizz card stock to form a card and adhering the Kraft card stock to the front, finally adding pink rhinestones on the centres of the flowers as well as the sentiment.

Well enjoy viewing the card today, I hope to be back tomorrow with another creation for you all to have a looksie!!

Have a wonderful Monday!

Hugs

Love that 'kraft on kraft' & I am a sucker for vellum anytime... what a perfect combo!
I sometimes look at my cards too long & too critically, it's something I'm working on (just taking baby steps).
