Retro Diamonds!

Hello Friends, another hot day here at the cottage and hence a very quiet day....

Before I head into today's post I just want to send out the hugest thanks to all of my Twitter friends, who sent thoughts and prayers for my Uncle that was admitted to hospital...my Uncle is like my Dad and so hence we are all very close, he is currently battling Leukemia and one of the major injections he had reacted and caused immense pain...so the doctors have come to the conclusion that this is what happened, he is feeling better and has been allowed to go home today...the unknown and living so far away of course a million and one things begin to run through your head, not knowing what is happening...but thanks to all my sweet friends, these thoughts and prayers came through for our family...thank you...

To honour all of my friends out there, I created a card, not only for you, but also had the first opportunity to create and have a little fun for the Clean & Simple Online Class...this class has been wonderful and so up my alley...I have been following along and seeing many amazing creations and thought that this was time for me now to participate.

I took lots of white card stock, trimming a card and then trimming a piece smaller then the card front, running it through my Cuttlebug, embossing it with an old Quikutz embossing folder, Retro Diamonds, trimming a section out of the card stock, allowing for a sentiment to be shown. Marking where both pieces of the embossed card stock would sit on my card, I then took the Friends stamp from the Big Ticket stamp set, inked it up with Colorbox, Peony ink, stamping to one side of the card front. I then adhered the embossed pieces of card stock with foam dimensionals. Next, running through the PTI butterfly die and the Spellbinders butterfly (this Spellbinder die is rare to find) die through my Cuttlebug cutting out some Autumn Rose Felt. Adhering these butterflies together and adding to the other side of the sentiment, finishing the card by adding some pearls.

This card also shares one of the products that I currently sell in my Etsy Shoppe...which are the butterflies...this shows how simply yet effective they can be used....

I have also been quite busy adding a few more items to my store and have another video share with you all...sit back and enjoy..



I had a lot of fun today just creating Clean and Simple, hoping to be able to do more when time allows...LOL

Have a wonderful rest of the day...

Hugs
