Oops – this post is later than anticipated. I spent the weekend making more papercraft projects for the markets next weekend. I made 30+ gift bags and coordinating gift cards. I’m looking forward to sharing photos of my stall early next week.
It has been a while since I last posted a card for this challenge. The inspiration for this colour palette is a real confectionary of colour.
I love the houses and miniature trees but the Christmas tree is not a colour I would choose.
For the challenge, I decided to use the soon to be available BLENDING BRUSHES to colour a large piece of Whisper White cardstock.
Then I chose the BUTTERFLY BEAUTY DIES to cut out the layering butterflies. Attaching ADHESIVE SHEETS to the back of the card before cutting it, made the task of layering the butterflies so easy.
The sentiment is from the ITTY BITTY BIRTHDAYS STAMP SET. I stamped it onto a piece of the cardstock I coloured. It was adhered under the lefthand side of the Whisoer White layer. It is not glued down to the card front – the ribbon is tied into a bow – that is what secures it in place – if untied, the sentiment piece can swing to the left.
The texture and weave of the POOL PARTY SHEER RIBBON is gorgeous.
Surprisingly, I didn’t add any bling to this card – I kept it more subtle.
I’m looking forward to developing my technique with the blending brushes. I think they are going to be a great, new tool in my crafting collection.
I hope that you like the card.
Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, I would be very happy to help you order any of them.
