Welcome
And a very warm welcome to my latest follower, Fiona from Mumsey's Ramblings
Fiona does not make cards, but I did enjoy reading her blog when I found it recently - and an added bonus - she only lives about 20 minutes away from me!
This card is the result of three sources of inspiration and a challenge!
The monthly (New Zealand) swap group challenge was to use the technique shown in
Natasha Foote's video here I have used the technique before here
The technique os to use your white scraps and cut strips, either straight or lace edged, and stack them three deep as the background - and just add one pop of colour
The layout with the vertical raised strips was inspired by
Marta Debika (A Drop of Sunshine) on You Tube
I had just received a bundle of background dies from a very generous giveaway on Instagram, so I took a liberty and embossed the base.
My pop of colour was to layer two pink ribbons and cinch them in the centre before adding a VERY old dragonfly embellishment that I cannot recall when or where I bought ...
I stamped the sentiment (another oldie) in Memento Angel Pink ink and Versamark ink and clear embossed it before cutting out the tag shape
The inside was finished with a strip of embossed white card, edged with pink ink, as was the envelope.
My swap partner liked the card
