Week 13 Card 1 - Blossom Two Doily

This week I designed a card around a brilliant idea one of my students showed me. The original that I saw was done with a different die, but I just love this one using the Spellbinders Blossom Two die. It's one of those Nestabilitie sets that I just "had to have" and then hardly every used..until I saw this idea. I just loved it and it uses so little card to make.

The papers that I decided to use are from Echo Park's Be Mine collection. I think the pink, grey and white combination works so well together. (Please excuse the photography).

The stamp is a free one that I picked up with a magazine but it and the rose and the pearls in the centre of the doily design really bling the card up a bit. It just needed that little something else...you know what I mean?

Oh and of course lets not forget the bow...

Sketchy Paint Spills

In the last edition of Australian Simply Cards I had a coffee break feature. In this feature was this simple stamped card. It has been a very popular card, I guess partly for it's simplicity and partly for it's versatility. I really can be used for any gender and any age group just by swapping some colours. Here is how I made this card - for those who may have missed the magazine. Instructions 1. Cut an A4 sheet of white cardstock in half at 14.8cm x 21cm . 2. Score and fold in half at 10.5cm. 3. Cut another piece of white smooth cardstock to 14.3cm x 10cm . 4. Stamp the sentiment with the Versafine ink in the bottom right corner. 5.
