Cattail Designs: Sunshine Wishes dies

Thursday, August 3, 2017

I haven't been posting as many cards lately as I usually do, but we have had a lot going on here at home, plus I'm trying to get my oldest daughters birthday gifts made.

But how cute is this sketch from FMS this week? You really should go take a look at what the team has done, I was blown away this week. So wonderful and each so different.

I used my Color Theory DSP stack in Berry Burst and Daffodil Delight for my edges. There are 3 several different ways of doing the color in this stack, all of them are fun to use, the ones I used are graduated color down the sheet.
The rest of my colors are Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Whisper White.

Sweet! A Valentine card

I've been playing with some new ideas. The base card was inspired by a card by Patty Bennett, but most of what I did was my own. I used Whisper White thick CS for my base, then cut a piece of Real red 5 1/2" x 4 1/8". I have cut my base length wise at 4 1/4". I use this method a lot, I just happen to really like it, it opens at the bottom.

My next layer is a piece of DSP from Sending Love DSP Stack with an embossed piece of Vellum over the top. Those 2 pieces are 5 1/2"x 3 1/4". Vellum is hard to glue, it always seems to show through, even when using the tape especially for vellum. In this case I attached it across the top and used my ribbon to hide it.

I used the Falling Petals embossing folder on the vellum. Then I layered my doily, the heart from Sunshine wishes dies, and the Sweet from the Sunshine wishes dies as well.

The stitched satin ribbon is retired in the White, but there are other colors still available.

I hope you enjoyed.
