I made this card for my Mother's birthday - she turns 85 tomorrow :-) This is also my card for the SCS Ways to Use it WT533 Challenge of 'Favorite Tools' where you need to make a card using your favorite tools. I used all my favourite tools on my card: Martha Stewart Lace Doily edge punch, Big Shot, Cuttlebug embossing folder & Lifestyle dies (circles + scallop circles). The challenge is from 28th May but thankfully, there are no time limits to play SCS Challenges - you can play anytime. Please see this link for more details on the challenge----> WT533 Favorite Tools 5/28/15 by Holstein at Splitcoaststampers
Every layer on the card is patterned paper - no cardstock used other than once I had finished the card front, I attached it to a white cardstock base - and all the papers are by Basic Grey - Kissing Booth (2011). The floral image & butterfly are by K and Co. - Tim Coffey Foliage Grand Adhesions dimensional stickers - which I have had for quite a few years and had completely forgotten about till I was rummaging around in my stash looking for something floral. I diecut a circle from cream designer paper and ran it through my Big Shot using my Cuttlebug Jamara 5" x 7" embossing folder then popped the sticker on the paper but added a bit of Tombow Mono Multi glue to the back of the sticker to make sure that it would stick really well to the embossed paper.
The pale pink paper on the bottom panel was also embossed with the Jamara folder and the dark pink paper was punched using a Martha Stewart Lace Doily edge punch.
The pale pink seam binding was attached in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made using my Bow Easy. I added Fray Stop to the cut ends to stop them from fraying.
The sentiment is from a clear set by Impression Obsession - Sentiments 1 WP16 - and was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black ink onto some of the pink designer paper. I diecut the sentiment using a Spellbinder Labels Trio Shapeabilities S3-147 die and added some Couture Creations pink gemstones to each end.
All the layers were trimmed to 1/8" using my Perfect Layers Tools.
The K and Co. sticker came with tiny pink gemstones already added to the flowers plus both the butterfly and flowers were already glittered (not that you can see the glitter in my photo but it is there!). Finished card size is 6" x 6".
