When I made these layered cards I stamped an extra postcard image so that I could double up parts of the image. There was lots left over and of course we don't like waste in the Stamping Square Metre, so I've used a pretty off-cut to make this notecard!
The flourish makes a beautiful feature, especially when mounted on some beautiful textured core'dinations card stock, and this sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes fits underneath it perfectly. The card was finished with the little flower from Everything Eleanor, stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe ink, given a quick colouring with a blender pen, and decorated with little pearls - guess which bit took the longest time?!!
Here's what you'll need to make this card
Stamps: Postcard, Everything Eleanor, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Early Espresso, Crisp Cantaloupe
Card stock: Very Vanilla smooth, Basic Black core'dinations
Other: Basic Pearls

If you were reading my blog on Monday you may remember me mentioning my vulgar son suggesting that the teacher's initials DHU stood for 'don't have underpants'! Well yesterday I discovered that they are in fact the initials of the headmaster... aaaargh! I can never look him in the eyes again!
See you tomorrow,
How elegant Vicky-beautiful and very classy design :)
ReplyDeleteThose pearls really finish off the flower perfectly(even if they did take forever to stick!)
Ooh,you naughty son-tee hee!
Have a lovely day,Nessa xx

Very pretty Vicky, and a great way to use up scraps too...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I am going to start a campaign for a photo-tour of the stamping square metre so you'd better cough up a photo really soon!
