Card # 2....

For our 2nd card in our Technique Class - "Faux Mother of Pearl", I wanted to show the ladies that you could use this technique to create a male's card.  The Stamp Set - French Foliage is one of my favourite & find myself turning to this set time & time again to create all sorts of projects.

Along with this technique, we did a little sponging using our Brayer & Sponges, as well the Technique - Rock & Roll.  What fun!!!!!

Don't forget to check back in a coupl eof days & I will show you the card we created at Crafty Creations last Friday arvo.

LNS 133...

After creating this card for a challenge, I suddenly realised that it was wrong for the challenge, so back to the drawing board for me. Anyhow, it has been specially created for my niece who turns the BIG 18 - she is now LEGAL!!!!! Look out Everyone!

I have also used 2 stamp sets which are retiring at the end of August - Great Friend, which has been a really great friend to me, as I love this set & Baroque Motifs.  This is a special set too, although I haven't used it as much as what I should have.

I stuck with Whisper White for my base card, as I wanted to keep it very clean & simple, but hoping that it would turn out very elegant! I also wanted it very soft, pretty & feminie for Bonnie!

I stamped the sentiment using Marina Mist Ink, scored every 1/2" down the card, grabbed the flower & adhered with a SU Dimensional. The butterfly was stamped in Bashful Blue Ink - so long since I have used this colour that I completely forgot how soft it is - & Marina Mist on the edges - Rock & Roll Technique, added Dazzling Dimensionals with 2-Way Glue & adhered to the top of the flower with another SU Dimensionals. I addd 3 Basic Pearls down the middle.

I wrapped the Ribbon right around the card & tied a bow. I left the ends long on purpose.

Supplies -

Stamp Set - Great Friend, Baroque Mofits, Well Scripted

Ink - Bashful Blue, Marina Mist

Cardstock - Whisper White

Ribbon - Organza - Whisper White

Accessories - Bone Folder, Snail Glue, Flowers, Basic Pearls

Congratulations Bonnie on your 18th!!!!!!!

Until next time, Enjoy!
