From Heidi ...
Today was a productive day! My granddaughter's birthday is coming up and she is hoping for new matching dresses for her and her little doll. I finished her dress and was able to cut out her doll's dress... Yay! I also found time to finish another Valentine card using the glitter embossed heart that Adriel showed yo
u a few days ago.
u a few days ago. Here's the finished card that the "heart" inspired me to make. It really is pretty up close. I used sponging, embossed glitter, paper piercing, and threaded satin ribbon around the perimeter of the heart. My husband had gotten me a designer corner cutter/embosser (I don't know what else to call it) for my birthday, so I used it on the corners of the Very Vanilla. I hope you enjoy it!
Adriel and I have been busy creating cards and projects for our upcoming classes to be held at Tumbleweed Park/Rec center this winter, so last week I came up with a few cards that we will be making using sponging. I used the layout for the pink circle card with one I saw on the Stampin'Up showcase, but added black to the card. This was a simple and quick card to make. The burgundy card is my design. I love the simple flowers from this stamp set "Embrace Life". I embossed the flower with winter wonderland embossing powder. It has little flecks of glitter, which gives it a bit of a bling. I used Bravo Burgundy, Mostly Mustard and So Saffron to sponge around the embossed flowers, the papers used are B.Burgundy, Sahara Sand, Pink Pirouette (edges sponged with B.Burgundy), and So Saffron. All the family members gave it two thumbs up.
