The Happiest People

Hi Bloggers.

Today's card is another using a layout that I grabbed from one of Sue's cards. I love the colour combo on this one - hope you do too.

I started by running a 2" piece of lime green card through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Regal M-Bossability Folder. I cut 2 borders out of white card using the Persian Accents die set. I glued these to the lime green border and attached the border to some creamy yellow card.

I tied a few knots in some cream and some moss green vintage ribbon and threaded them through the Persian borders and secured them at the back of the creamy yellow card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Sincere Sentiments Stamp Set using Olive Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Labels Twenty-Five and inked with Crushed Olive Distress Ink while still in the die. I cut 2 large motifs out of green card using the Persian Motifs Die Set. I glued them to the back of the sentiment overlapping them in the middle.

I tied a large bow with some green/ivory grosgrain and added another bow on top made with Moss Green and Cream Vintage Ribbon. I made a flower using the border from the Persian Accents set. I cut one border out of cream felt and another out of lime green felt. I made the flower in the same way that you make a ribbon flower using the cream felt first and then the lime green. I added this to my bows and also a couple of Creative Expressions Decorative Stick Pins in White Pearl.

I cut a tiny motif out of white card using the Persian Accents set and popped it in the top right-hand corner.

I finished the card with some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Golden Pearl around the edges and a dot in the centre of the tiny motif.

Hope you like the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
