Sweet Start

Happy New Year everyone! Here's hoping 2012 is a real cracker!

I started the new year off with some sorting and de-cluttering for a few hours and then I decided I deserved a reward for my hard work, so sat down to make a card. I've been playing again with the lovely papers coming up in the SAB catalogue on the 24th of this month.


Only a portion of the stamp was used (with markers) on the main panel. Instead of the butterflies on the stamp I die cut some and then used a marker again to ink the sentiment part of the stamp.


My stamped panel is inside a recessed portion, with the dsp panel being raised up. I made the watercolouring nice and soft in keeping with the muted tones of the papers and I used poppy parade again! LOL!

Materials used:

  • stamps - Up In The Air (hostess)
  • card - crumb cake, lucky limeade, watercolour, poppy parade, Everyday Enchantment DSP
  • punches - large oval, scallop oval, 1 1/4" square
  • other - lucky limeade ruffled ribbon, dimensionals, Beautiful Wings embosslit die, Big Shot, sponge dauber, aquapainter, markers

If you've achieved something already today, why not give yourself a little reward too? Begin as you mean to go on! 

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
Kez

Gorgeous card Kez. Love the colours of the dsp. Very elegant.
Glad you got some de-cluttering done - is that a new year's resolution?

That recessed window is very effective - love it! Haven't got any SAB products yet - have been holding out. Now I'm going to have to get some.
