I thought today I would share a card that I am sending overseas to a special someone, they need a little cheering in their lives and I thought that this would be the perfect card.
I took pattern paper from My Minds Eye an the stamp set, Layered Flowers from Hero Arts, stamping the flower 3 times onto the paper and the leaf that was also in this set 2 times. Trimming around the flower, cutting in so this would form 3 different levels and also trimming around the leaves. Taking the flowers and the leaves, adding Tumbled Glass distress ink the the edges of the flowers and to the leaves, adding Peeled Paint distress ink. Working on the rest of the card, taking white card stock, trimming to size and inking the Envelope Pattern stamp from Hero Arts with Walnut Stain distress ink, stamping over the card stock, going over the entire card stock with Antique Distress ink. Next, taking a piece of Fine Linen card stock from Papertrey Ink, trimming it down and inking the Woodgrain background stamp from Hero Arts with Soft Sand ink, stamping onto this card stock. Adhering both of the card stocks to a trimmed white card. To cover the seam between the card stocks, I took some Lace from Hero Arts and placed it over the top of the two card stocks. I then took the flower and adhered each of the layers together and the leaves and added it to the card using foam dimensionals. Lastly, trimming more white card stock to form a tag and stamping a sentiment from the Just Find Me stamp set from Hero Arts, adhering to the card and finishing with scattering of pearls.
I sure do hope that this card spreads a little cheer!
Don't forget that there is still time to enter in the giveaway that I am currently having..you can view all the details HERE.
Alright, I am off to rest...when I eventually get my voice back I will have a couple of video shares with you, some of the goodies that have been arriving and also I have had quite a few comments asking me how I take my photos, so will be sharing a video on that also.
Have a wonderful day everyone!
