Hi everyone, I am sharing a card that I made for my niece's 21st birthday. Please also see my gallery for the matching gift box. This is also my card for the SCS Fan Club April Seasonally Challenged them of BIRTHDAYS. Please see this link for the details on the Challenge ---> April 2023 ~ Seasonally Challenged ~ Birthdays! by LuvLee at Splitcoaststampers
The main image and sentiment are from a retired set by Stampin' Up called Beautiful You. I adore this stamp set and one that I will never part with. I stamped the image using Versafine Onyx Black ink onto Ranger watercolour cardstock and coloured it with Lyra watercolour pencils and a #2 round paintbrush. I think it took me about 3 minutes to colour it! I diecut the image using my Big Shot and a Lifestyle Nesting Circle die and layered it onto the peach designer paper then diecut a scalloped circle from the darker blue designer paper.
All the papers are my Mintay - Harmony. Aren't the colours gorgeous?! For the LHS panel, I dry embossed the peach designer paper with a retired Cuttlebug Textile embossing folder. The blue designer paper was punched using a Martha Stewart Lace Doily edge punch. I tied on some 1 inch wide peach organza ribbon then threaded some peach/gold twine through a gold heart charm and glued that underneath the organza ribbon using fabric glue.
The sentiment panel was diecut using a retired Spellbinders Shapeabilities Labels Trio die and popped up on dimensionals. The peach diamantes on the top RHS I bought in bulk ages ago because there were a gazillion colours & very cheap. I glued them on using Helmar 450 glue.
Once I had finished the card front, I glued it onto a white card base using Tombow Mono Multi glue.

That image is a favourite of mine too though I don't own it. This is one of the most beautiful presentations of it I have ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous! Love the colours and that fabulous bow with the little heart embellishment. Super card!
