As promised, but a day late, our make 'n take project from Friday night's launch.
This started out a little different, it had the same background paper, bunch border and stamp set but I wasn't very happy with it, a bit too much empty space. A blog hop later and a little inspiration from Julie & Monica's blog posts and the card was complete.
The paper is from Flirtatious Speciality DSP (122360 £11.50), I love the speciality papers as they each have 2 sheets of paper that's that little bit special. Flirtatious has a sheet each of Melon Mambo & Pumpkin Pie laser cut doilies, which can be used as one big sheet or cut into smaller page elements, oh and the back is white so you can colour it to match any project!
The border is the new gorgeous Lace Ribbon Border (122362 £18.25) This is bigger than the usual border punches and doesn't punch an edge to your card but a complete strip, it's my new favourite punch. Oh and my other new favourite punch... Petite Pennants Builder (122361 £15.50) which I've used for the flags along the top of the card, the little flowers are from Boho Blossoms (119858 £15.50) with a brad in the centre and popped up on a dimensional.
Now for the stamp, that's from the lovely set 'Delicate Doilies' (122590 £20.95 wood mount 122592 £16.95 clear mount). This set has 4 gorgeous doilie designs, it's great for making your own backgrounds and using as a focal image to a design. I've also used 'Tiny Tags' (118091 £21.95 wood mount 118592 £16.95 clear mount) for a little sentiment held with a brad on the doilie, the brad also goes through the centre of one of the flowers on the border.
A little more detailed than usual, feeling very 'wordy' today :) Might get a few posts scheduled for when I'm at work this week, just so you don't miss me too much.
But that's all for today, thansk for stopping by!
Happy Crafting!
