This card is a bit different … I wanted to see how I could use the SO VERY VELLUM with the BEST DRESSED DSP.
I chose a piece of the handbags paper, because I hadn’t used it already, and then cut the vellum into squares and layered them … there was no plan, just see where it goes.
The “Happiness looks gorgeous on you”, from the TAGS IN BLOOM stamp set, seemed a perfect match for Best Dressed.
Cutting, layering and colouring … add some Wink and coloured pearls bling … and this is the result.
If you live in Australia and want to order any of these, or other Stampin’ Up! products, let me know … I would be happy to help you.
As a mum, I unconditionally love and support my two gorgeous daughters … aged 29 and 25. I trust that I have shared enough life advice as they need as they transition into their independent adult live.
I think everyone treasures what they have been taught by family. I hold especially close to my heart the things my grandmother, Grandma Donnie, taught me … if you go to the city, you dress properly (and that might include wearing stockings); if you are on a bus, younger people stand for those who are older; if you go to the theatre, you never enter after the act begins … and many more … BUT, the lesson I remember dearly is, that, the card you give is more personal than the gift! And, you know, I think she was right.
My grandmother was a classic beauty and a classy lady. The photos I have of her, during her operatic singing career and when she married my paternal grandfather, are breathtaking. She was elegant and sophisticated and I thought of her when I saw this suite … she would have approved … because she was always immaculately groomed and stunningly dressed … she would be IMPRESSED!
The TAGS IN BLOOM STAMP SET, and coordinating punch, is perfect for this Designer Series Paper.
Don’t forget to use the Stampin’ Blends to colour embellishments … and to use Wink of Stella for extra bling.
Stampin’ Blends can be used on the reverse side of vellum to add colour … they can also be used to colour ribbon.
Using the WHISPER WHITE NOTE CARDS AND ENVELOPES pack made making these cards super quick and easy … something I forget to do!
I made these cards, start to finish … without any planning or templates … in 25 minutes. super easy and super quick.
