Here’s how I created my card: (measurements at end of this post)
My card base is Very Vanilla.
The next layer is Watercolor Paper – I created a background with a fun technique – step by step tutorial “how to” HERE.
Once this dried, I added two stamped leaves with Night of Navy ink.
I embossed a square of Night of Navy cardstock with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Embossing Folder.
I used the Copper foil sheets (love these!) and the Seasonal Thinlets to cut a leaf and also a scalloped edge.
My greeting, from Rose Wonder stamp set, is stamped on a large oval from the Stitched Shapes framelits. I can’t seem to get enough of the gold faceted gems – and added one to finish my card!
Now please go and vote for my card! Click HERE to vote!
