Tutti-Frutti Card
Happy Sale-a-Bration time! I wanted to showcase some of the products you can get for FREE! I think it took me only 15 minutes to create this card. It's super easy but was really fun to do.
The three white-washed colors are Daffodil Delight, Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist. Don't they look great together? I used the Aqua Painter, used some ink from the lid of the ink pad and just colored on watercolor paper. How easy! Let it dry a few minutes. The Happy Birthday is stamped in Early Espresso. Because the watercolor paper is textured, the flowers under the Happy looked unfinished. So I took my Lemon Lime Twist and Powder Pink markers and colored in the flowers and leaves.
Thinking it needed some accessory, I looked through my stash trying to find something besides ribbon. The Tutti-Frutti Adhesive Backed sequins are PERFECT! I was excited to finally use them. Adhesive backed sequins. How great are those? Thank you Stampin' Up! for coming up with these. Love them! In my eyes, I think all sequins should be adhesive backed.
The card and envelopes are from the SAB catalog. They are gorgeous. The cards are scored and do have a very subtle print on that I love. The print is not too bold to take away from anything you create. Here is a closer look of them. Aren't the colors just yummy? Remeber, they are FREE with a $50 order.
I'm already really liking the stamp set too. It's called Happy Wishes and is in the SAB catalog too. It's FREE with a $100 order. I know that sounds like a lot, but look what you get with this set. There are just a ton of ways to use this set. Now, when I get a stamp set that is mostly words, I think I'll be lucky if I use half maybe. With this one, I think I'll use all of them. They are just common everyday sentiments. The font is also very elegant, but definately not hard to read.
That's all I have for now. Tonight is my demonstator meeting in Watertown. I belong to a great group of demos that meet monthly, share make and takes, and business tips. It's a great time to learn from those who have been demos longer than me. I made a cheesecake for tonight. I've been hungry for one, and this way I get over my craving and I don't have the whole cheesecake in my house which I don't want or need.
