Just Saying Hello
What a beautiful weekend! The weather actually was the best. It was warm, but my kind of warm, low 80s. I spent a lot of yesterday and today weeding in the back. We got 50 bags of mulch that I have to prep the area for. It's the length of our property so it's quite a bit to get ready. I'm hoping that to work on some bags throughout the week. We'll see.
I really like the way this card turned out. It looks simple and sweet, but in reality, it's not really simple. Each image is stamped and then cut out by hand. Sorry about that, but it makes the card.
There's a secret in this card. The top Whisper White piece that has the sentiment stamped on, is actually cut from the bottom piece of Whisper White on the card. The Coastal Cabana piece is covering the cut out so you don't see the opening at all.
The Whisper White base is embossed with the new 3D folder, Tasteful Textile. Love how the pattern is nondescript so it will work in so many kinds of cards.
The linen thread is wrapped around the embossed Whisper White, then adhered to the card base.
Now, look at the layers on the card. The feather and flower are both adhered with dimensionals. I know it's a pain to cut out all the images, but the look can't be duplicated if they are just stamped on the card itself. If I could make dies for these images, I sure would.
So far, it's hard to say which stamp set from the new catalog is my favorite. I have Tasteful Touches and Forever Fern. Both have been so fun to play with. There are so many more sets that are on my Wish List. In a perfect world, I would be able to purchase everything at once. Sigh. Maybe in the next life.
