Today is an M & M day in more ways than one...it's Monday Morning and my card is brought to you by Many Messages. It's a bundle that's available at a 10% discount.
and here is my creation...
Paper Products I used:
Other items I used are listed below. My card base is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4". I used about 6 1/2" of ribbon. The DSP I just cut to whatever size I thought looked good for what I wanted to achieve!
The most difficult part of this card, for me, was stamping the Pearlescent Specialty Paper. I used Highland Heather ink and Rococo Rose ink but it took forever to dry. After a few smudges, I restamped and walked away, leaving it over night. Then the next morning I used my heat tool to make sure they were totally dry and punched them out with the Butterfly Duet Punch.
Since I will be writing a personal thank you, I left the inside blank but added a 1/2" strip of DSP.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a beautiful week and a great President's Day.

Sweet card Karen! Love the colors. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy.
DeleteBeautiful card, Karen! Blessings for your week :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beth.
DeleteThis is so pretty! I wondered about how challenging it is to get all these sentiments stamped and diecut? It looks like an amazing idea but I am sure I'd mess it up somehow! Or do you just ink and diecut one at a time? They sure are cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks, LeAnne. It's one die, one stamp and I love it. Some people don't because you end up with the same color for all of the sentiments.
DeleteThat Pearlescent paper was worth the extra drying time! Really pretty card! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary.
