Lovely is the Day, Painted Glass & Dies

I found an unfinished card the other day, and said to myself, because there wasn't anyone here, "you really need to finish the gazillion projects you have laying around".  So here is just one of the many.


Three of the items I used to make this card are on sale, and should you want to purchase any of the supplies I used to make it, I would be honored if you chose me as your demonstrator, and placed your order in my on-line store, HERE

Recipe: (building from base)
  • The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Call Me Clover (retiring, 5/31/2020), scored at 4 1/4.
  • The Call Me Clover layer is 5 1/4 x 4, and is embossed with the Tufted 3D Folder (retiring, 5/31/2020).
  • The Whisper White piece is 3 1/2 x 2 1/2, and is the base for 3 Stained Glass Call Me Clover die cutouts (retiring 5/31/2020).
  • The flowers, from Lovely is the Day, (retiring), on top of the cutouts are stamped with Tuxedo Memento Black ink on Whisper White and cut out with the Lovely Leaves Dies (also retiring). The colors on the flowers are stamped with Blushing Bride, Pineapple Punch, and Rococo Rose.  The leaves are stamped with Old Olive ink.
  • The words from Very Versailles are stamped with Call Me Clover ink, (retiring), on a 5 1/8 x 1 piece of Soft Sea Foam, which is sponged with Call Me Clover ink.  The base is a 5 1/4 x 1 1/8 piece of Flirty Flamingo, and both ends are punched with the Banner Triple Punch. Side note:  My next card will have a more narrow strip for the words, just sayin'.
  • The butterfly, from Stained Glass (retiring), is stamped on Whisper White and colored with blends. By the way, when the 2019-20 catalog ends, the Blends will only be offered in pairs, not singles. 
  • Four small Basic Pearls are added.
  • All done and remember to decorate your envelope.

                      So my two, very talented assistants cannot be here to help me design, so I tend to resort to CASEing a card.  (Copy And Share Everything), which is actually a compliment.  I try to change it up some, you know, to make it my own.
