I found another scrap of First Edition designer paper under some card stock on my desk and thought I'd stamp on it again. The Gumball Green used for the stem and leaf image was heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I love how bold it looks!
The flower was stamped onto a scrap of Very Vanilla card stock using my favourite zingy orange Pumpkin Pie and clear embossed too. I cut it out with my sharp paper snips and popped it up on a couple of dimensionals.
I love the font on this gorgeous sentiment from Made For You. It's stamped onto a scored strip of the Very Vanilla and embossed and I added a little tab cut from a piece of matching Pumpkin Pie Patterns designer paper with the Curly Label punch.
Lots of scraps were used in the making of this card so I shall take this opportunity to sidle over to Di's Snippets Playground. I've heard that some of the girls have put up the Christmas tree early to hide some of the damage caused by the bonfire party and if the sheep are still there, we could use them for a nativity scene!

We were watching Sleepless in Seattle at the weekend and at the end of the film, my daughter looked thoughtful. "I wonder if Tom Hanks writes 'T.Hanks' in his thank you cards," she said eventually. "It's like a sentiment and a signature in one!"
I'd better be off for a lie down now (!) but I'll be back tomorrow. See you then,

ReplyDeleteVery clever of your daughter. All the times I've watched Tom Hanks that's never occurred to me! x
Gorgeous card - LOVE the orange bloom and the cheery bright green stem and leaves. That little bit of a tab for the sentiment is fab. Your daughter's comment is a hoot, now I can't get it out of my mind {grin}.

ReplyDeleteAs for your daughter, why hasn't anyone else noticed that his name spells thanks LOL

ReplyDeleteAnother bright and cheery card using orange, a colour I don't go to very often, but this looks great. And the little tab peeping out seems to ground it very well.
ReplyDeleteHotel for the Bewildered? yep, think I need to look up the address too!
I don't very often use orange, but that flower is superb! I missed the bonfire over in the playground, will go and keep an eye on the sheep, teehee. Lynn x
