Hi everyone!
My card for today, a card of congratulations for a wedding, an anniversary (or with the right embellishments, just about any occasion) uses a couple of sets that are featured in our current Product of the Week. It's essentially a standard card with another backward opening slightly smaller card inside. I've used lots of layers but it could be done more simply with fewer layers if that's your style or current mood!
I used oval nesting dies to cut a window through the card front to allow the image from the smaller card to show through.
Here the outer card is opened with the front of the second card fully visible. The lavender mat is actually sandwiched between the two cards, the three layers glued together.
And finally, here's the inside card, opened in the opposite direction. There's a lot of room here for a special sentiment, some more pretty paper or another lovely image, or just plenty of white space for lots of hand-written well-wishes.
Supplies:
- Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Wedding & Anniversary Wishes
- Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Love
- Stamp Simply Steel Dies - Fishtail Sentiment Banners
- Craft Consortium Ink Drops Rose 6x6
- Pink silk ribbon
- oval dies
- Copic markers
In case you might be interested...I have been busy with lots of fiber arts this week, including dyeing some merino-linen yarn in a lovely pink using acid dye in a cold water bath method out on the patio in the sunshine. (You can see the reflection of the trees in the water if you look closely!).
I've been spinning a lot too, trying to clear the spindles and wheels in preparation for Tour de Fleece which will begin (as does Tour de France) on July 4th. There will be a lot of fun crafting to try to keep up with over the next several months.
Here are a couple of skeins I have finished spinning in the last week or so.
I've started another spin thinking it might make a good partner for that green skein. We'll see whether it works out!
Have a great week!
