I am so excited! My Parisian farewell card was chosen to be featured on the My Crafty World website this week! I feel so honoured to be mentioned alongside the other talented crafters there – their projects are amazing!
And to top that … my daughter has just landed a job working for Mills & Boon! What fantastic news!
I just had to make her a card to let her know how proud we are of her…
I took inspiration from Kimberly, another of the featured crafters, and used similar colours and elements such as a frame, flower and butterflies, to make my card…
The flower was cut from so saffron cardstock using the big shot, then scrunched up to get this amazing texture…
…kinda reminded me of chamois leather …
The big shot was used again to cut out the label from balsa wood I had in my stash, then I stamped the sentiment in early espresso ink, sponged the edges and added the pearls and a teeny, tiny bow.
I loved the look of the faux leather and wood together – so pleased with the way they turned out.
I used the distressing kit on the edges of the very vanilla cardstock and added splashes of crumb cake ink with my aqua painter to give a shabby chic look – great fun to do!
More stamping on the inside too, and I added some designer series paper …
And I didn’t forget the envelope, I lined it with more designer series paper to match …
I hope she liked it!
All supplies from Stampin’ Up! unless otherwise stated.
Thanks for dropping by today
