With Love & Caring


I know I had promised another Holiday Mini sneak peek but yesterday got away from me.  My day became consumed with last minute cutting for my Basic & Beautiful class yesterday evening. 

This card is one that I made a month or so ago but every time I look at it I fall a little more in love!  Everything about it turned out just the way I hoped.  This very rarely happens!  The sentiment is from the retired set With Sympathy...so sad that one didn't carry over.  :(


Tips & Techniques:
  • After colouring on your stamp with your Stampin' Write markers, spritz a little water directly onto it before stamping to give it a slight watercolour effect.
  • Curling the wings of the larger butterflies makes them look like they are about to take flight off the card!
  • Scrunchy ribbon across the bottom of the card provides the perfect base for a vintage safety pin and a little linen thread which creates a softness.
  • Does tearing freak you out?  Let it go!  The torn edge here adds so much texture.
