Hi Everyone! So how did your weekend end up? Mine was over in a flash and I wished it could have been longer. Feeling rather tired today with lots of late nights so tonight will be early tea and early to bed.
So first up today I needed to make a correction on the Layout that I created yesterday, it was not until a little while after posting it on my blog did I realise the boo, boo that I had done, although sort of. You see the title says Fox Spires, it was suppose to read Foxglove Spires, this is the name of the garden that I visit. Although, I have this habit of calling it Fox Spires so in some sort of way it is correct for the layout, anyways, I thought that if anyone picked this up I should go back and correct it, so I used the same paper that I had journaled onto and placed it in between both words so that it was not to look out of place,but still go with the theme of how I say it, hope that makes sense…LOL. So enough babble, I thought that I would show you another photo of the layout.
Now onto the card that I have created for you today, I started with some Stampin Up card stock and I think that it is called Sage Shadow, I cut it to size, folded in half and using Papertrey Ink, Polka Dot Basics 2 stamp set I stamped the entire front of the card using some Versamark Ink, I set this aside to dry. Next, using some vellum I took the Papertrey Ink, Beautiful Blooms Die 2, #3 Collection and I cut 2 of the largest flower and 1 each of the smaller flowers from the die collection through my Cuttlebug. I placed all of the flowers together and placed a My Minds Eye, Lush Collection Pearl Brad through the centre of the flowers to hold them together. Also using more vellum I cut a strip and stamped a sentiment from the Papertrey Ink, Signature Greetings stamp set onto the vellum, I adhered the vellum to the card, making sure that I had enough over hang on the sides to wrap and glue to the inside of the card, seemingly making the vellum float on the card. Lastly, I adhered the flower to the top of the vellum strip using a foam dimensional.
A simple, yet elegant card that makes a statement using vellum.
So enjoy the card today, I will be back tomorrow with more.
Before I shoot off today, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for you wonderful, sweet comments either on my blog, twitter or over at Flickr about my very first layout that I created, I cannot thank you enough, these wonderful comments has made me feel more confident to go ahead and produce more layouts in the future, so thanks everyone!
Okay so I am off to put out a load of washing and get some tea organised so that I can sit and relax, watch a small amount of TV and bed (I lead a fabulous, exciting life don’t I…LOL)
Hugs
JOY
