Yesterday we had lunch with friends at the Celtic Ray and I mentioned that afterward I had to go to the post office to get my cards weighed for the correct postage. Fortunately, the server said she'd like to see more of my cards so I let her look at the four I hadn't sealed. She placed an order for two eclipse cards...woo hoo!
So, today I got the job done! Take a look at one of them...
My card base is Cajun Craze, the DSP is Painted Autumn, the mat is a piece Gold Foil Sheet (same as the inside frame), and the letters are from the Large Letter Framelits Dies.
I absolutely LOVE the inside with that frame from Carols of Christmas. I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to fit inside the frame and stamped the sunflower in So Saffron and Early Espresso using the Painted Harvest Photopolymer Stamp Set. The sentiment is stamped in Cajun Craze using a stamp from the retired Wetlands stamp set.
Because I used Patterned Paper, I'm entering my card in Craftyhazelnut's October Challenge. If my entry wins, I will get more patterned paper. Just what I need...lol! BUT, you can never have too many patterns so I hope my number is drawn (I'm 235) and it's drawn randomly. Check out her site...it's fun!
I also am adding it to The Flower Challenge #13
and I would like to win prize #5!
Thank you for looking!!
Oh my goodness, that's beautiful! What a great use for that pretty designer paper. I'm sure that she'll love it! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amy. It is very difficult for me to part with my DSP! I hope she won't be disappointed because the card she saw was like the one I will post tomorrow!
DeleteWow! What else can be said? Amazing! I guess that can be said too. LOVE the card!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Janice. That's quite a compliment :-)
