November 2010

After posting my class schedule today, I realised that I haven’t shared any cards in quite awhile! Here is one I made for a friend of a friend to give to a friend who is newly engaged. I even used satin ribbon on this gem – a rarity for me.

I love the A Muse Marigold stamps very much, and often reach for them when I need an elegant card. Also in love with their Currant shimmer couture paper – the colour is delicious. I experimented with Copics for the colouring and tried that cutting technique I keep seeing everywhere. I just stamped the image on a square piece of white cardstock (on top of the Hero Arts Friendship Definition cling stamp), coloured and cut along the edge of the definition stamp, then trimmed around part of the flower.

Hope this finds you all well – I’ve been making a LOT of cards lately to sell. Fun! 🙂
