I added a bit of shimmer tulle behind this
but the shimmer doesn't show in the photo.
The challenge was to carry the stamping and decorating to the inside of your card
I only had to take a million photos to get this one,
and it's not even that great! UGGGG!
I love the delicate font of this sentient.
CASology theme is leaves. I have already made many fall card with leaves . After I received a beautiful gift in the mail , I knew I would be using holly leaves.
Yesterday I went out late to get my mail. I had a wonderful surprise waiting for me.
My friend Cathy: EmptyNestCrafter sent me this gorgeous die from Serendipity Stamps
She noticed I have been using them a lot lately. I was so excited, it's a gorgeous delicate die. I have been the recipient of many gifts from kind friends. I feel so blessed.
Thank you Cathy !
I always line the inside of my cards with a thin linen paper. Most people I send cards to like to save them. Some have told me they resend them. I only put a bit of tape on the back so the inside layer can easily be removed.
Paper : Papertrey ink Rustic Cream and Rustic White
Stamps: Papertrey Ink ,Think Big Favorites #20 and Paper Inspirations
Dies : Papertrey Ink, Holly die
Impression Plate is from Papertrey Ink Canvas Linen
That is so pretty!! Beautifully finished on the inside!
