Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by. We are enjoying a wet Friday, the rain is so refreshing and much needed, although I know some of you are looking forward to seeing spring and summer! While I have been busy in The Studio creating a number of different projects, in between Design Team Projects and Publications I have another card to share using some of the bit and pieces that endlessly gather on my desk, along with some Collectibles that are given to me by a very generous friend. Are you ready?!
My card front has been created using paper from my stash that has been embossed using a Spellbinders Overlapping Circles Embossing Folder and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine; next it has been adhered to a slightly larger pre-cut A-Frame blue card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.
I have played with Kaisercraft Collectibles until I am happy with how they look, a little tip - I often photograph the card front incase I forget exactly how it was and need to check the photo for reference - it can save a lot of angst. They have been popped up with Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares. The banner is from Spellbinders Die D-Lites Amused 1 Etched Dies
.and balloons are from Spellbinders Shapeabilities Ella-Fant Etched Dies. Want2Scrap Glitter Washi Tape has been added. Imagine irRESISTibles Pico Embellisher in Wedding Dress has been used to add faux Enamel Dots to the embossed pattern.
Again this is another card where the the colours have been inspired by the change of seasons here in the Southern Hemisphere - autumn/fall is here and we are loving the cooler temps. Are you inspired by seasons or nature?
