BFF Thanks

Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by. Today I have a card with lots of goodies made for a friend who gift ME a Simon says gift card! So, of course I just had to make her a card with the new goodies courtesy of her.

The flowers were heat embossed in gold, then watercolored. The back ground paper is from MME On Trend 2. The "thanks" die is actually from craftin' desert divas, then I heat embossed in the same gold tone as the flowers. Finished the card off by adding gold sequins!

I think the longest part of making this card was to cut the flowers!

I am entering into the following challenges:

49 Shades of Grey Cards

Happy Tuesday Quick Quotes fans! Crystal here with a set of cards using Quick Quotes new paper line called "49 Shades of Grey".

These are a beautiful set of papers and an absolute favorite!

My cards are using the same papers, I just moved the sentiments around.
 

 

Start by trimming your base layer in black to 4.25 x 5.50 inches. Then trim your base patterned paper to be layered on top of that. Next cut two strips of paper. One will be about 2 inches wide and the other 1 in. Use your chalking inks around each piece.  Cut a square 2x2inches in black and then another square of patterned paper 1.75x1.75 inch. Chalk around that. Finish your card by adding a sentiment of choice and stamped flowers.
