Mon Amie

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Did you know Mon Amie means “My Friend”, I love this card but I can’t take all the credit for it as I CASE’d it from this amazing Stamper for the USA called Beate Johns . She is a Stampin’ superstar and I just LOVE your work. Anyway back to the card lots of cutting and layers, I think the hat pin from the Pretties kit and the yummy ribbon makes the card.

Dazzling blossoms

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

This card looks much better in real life, The dazzling diamonds on the blossoms look great. I have stamped the blossom all over the Sage Shadow cardstock in White craft ink creating a background, using the mat pack I have paper pierced along the top and bottom of the card. The blossoms are stamped in Bashful Blue, then Brocade Blue over the top with a little dazzling diamonds.
