That’s Fantastic

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

I think one of the best parts of card making is the response I receive when I give my card to Family and Friends, They are always so touched by the love and effort put into their card. Well this week I received the best review ever on one of my cards from my beautiful niece Bailey who turned the big 3 this week, She opened her Card from me carefully and said “that’s Fantastic”, We all laughed because we have never heard her say Fantastic before, but we realised when ever she shows us a painting or drawing she has made we say “that’s Fantastic” to her.

I just have to share the photo of her opening the card like it’s a present….

Here’s what the “Fantastic” card looked like, I used “Pretty Princess” from Stampin’ Up! On Watercolour paper coloured with Makers and a Blender Pen. I have added a little glitter to the dress. The Printed papers are from Anna Griffin (lines) and Sweetwater (dots).

I have this thing about coordinating the gift wrapping with the card, So I stamped white A3 Printer paper with the polka dot star from “In The Star” which is from the NEW Stampin’ Up! Summer Mini. Then covered a chipboard star from Stampin’ Up! Accent and element with the same celery dot paper as the card. I punched out a 32mm circle then a circle scallop to foam a frame, Which a attached to the Star and then mounted a American Crafts thicker “3”.

Well I hope you enjoyed today’s card as much as Bailey did, I hope everyone is having a great weekend
