For a Friend




I was feeling in a spring-time pastel mood so I whipped up this lovely card.  

I love the mosiac madness stamp set with the cute little quatrefancy pattern that looks excellent when repeated.


To make this little embellishment, I added color to my simply pressed clay by dabbing it on my stamp pad, blending, and repeating until I reached a shade just lighter than the pink pirouette stamp pad.  Then, I rolled it out thin, and stamped the image with 4 smaller quatrefancies using the pink pirouette.  Press lightly and evenly, and you may want to stamp a few and pick your favorite.  Cut out around the image by pressing down, not dragging, a craft knife.  Then just let it dry!



My edges were a bit messier than I would have liked because I made the mistake of cutting it out after drying- which is difficult.  It works better to cut it before.

Lemon Naturals Card

I have a new favorite thing--the naturals cardstock.  It has beautiful, tiny flecks of color.


Just look at that incredible 'natural' look-it gives it subtle texture and depth.  I just had to pair this with the lemon from my new "A Happy Thing" set I got as a Sale-a-Bration reward.  The mossy meadow rope/twine is also a Sale-a-Bration reward- and I love it! It came with buttons and twine in each of the 2014-15 In-Colors.  Sale-a-Bration ends March 31 so get your orders in before it ends!
