Welcome
We have had the most wonderful family filled weekend - we had 19 people around the table for one meal 😃.
I made this card a few days ago for a local woman who blessed us with a gift of fudge, made by her mother and couriered up from Wellington!! The card was loved, and is now enroute to Wellington to the fudge maker.
I started with the lemon yellow base, and embossed it with a Swiss Dots folder, and added a page from a Prima journaling page.
The sentiment panel started as an experiment - the technique I was trying did not 'work' as it was supposed to, so I dropped water onto the distress inked panel and then dried it off, then sprayed it with a silver spray. I was still not that happy, so die cut the sentiment from a snippet of matching cardstock and inserted it into the panel. I then embossed another part sentiment after masking off the end of the stamp to have just the part of it that I wanted.
The finishing details were the rhinestones and the washi tape.
