Hello friends! Got another card to share with you from my recent whirlwind card-making. :-)
I had pinned THIS card by Yvonne Yam on my Pinterest board because of the great sketch, and that was the basis for my card. Yvonne's card was a 5 minute deal, and mine took a smidgen longer to make, but still, a relatively quick creation.
See the lace? It's got hearts woven into the design, which enables me to play (again!) at City Crafter this week. It also happens to be THE oldest ribbon/lace I own. Waaaaaaaaaay before I made cards, I made angels from handkerchiefs (clean, of course ;-) and trimmed each one with this lace. We're talking early 1990s, folks. So, this lace is like more than 20 years old! Shopping Our Stash wants to see our oldest ribbons. Now you've seen mine!
Also note the sentiment. It's new to me, and comes from Paper Smooches' Salutations. I thought it was high time I owned some PS stamps, and little did I know that they had this fabulous, oh-so-versatile set in their store. Although I love the signature style of PS fonts, I was tickled to get this set because it's different.
Had to take a shot of the yellow striped paper (Chateau Lavender by DCWV) because it's got some shimmer to it. Can you see it? The calla lilies sticker also has a glittered effect.
I'll see you soon with another creation. Hope my wellspring of ideas holds up so I can get crafty again in the next couple of days!
Dimensions: 4.25" x 5.5"
Stamps: Salutations - Paper Smooches
Paper: Pale Plum - SU; Chateau Lavender - DCWV
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black - Tsukineko
Fibers: hemp cord - Darice; lace
Other: calla lilies sticker - K & Co.
