Fall anniversary card

It's about to be that time of year again. My other SIL is about to celebrate her anniversary and I need to make her a card. So...I'll post the card I made for her last year. (I know, blogging hasn't been a priority lately, but hoping to change that.)

Back to the card....

It's been a year since I made this card, so I'll try to remember what I did. I know I used SU leaf stamp and coordinating Sizzix die, woodgrain embossing folder and a piece of burlap. The background was created from leftover Distress Ink on my craft surface. I just used paper to mop up the ink and then sprayed it with gold Glimmer Mist.

I wish I could pick up the sparkle, but at least you can see the texture.

Thanks for looking!

Welcome Baby Girl card

I'm finally an aunt!! My brand new niece was born 9/13 and I wanted to make an extra special card just for her. I found inspiration in "100 Fresh and Fun Handmade Cards" by Kimber McGray. I used the New Arrival cartridge for the image cuts. I inked edges and used the Wink of Stella clear pen (love this!!) to add some sparkle. (Unfortunately, this didn't show up in the photo.)

For the inside: This is the real WOW factor. Each image is inked and stickled and suspended from the pop out with invisible thread.

Supplies:

patterned paper-stars (Martha Stewart Modern Festive), blue stripe (3 Bugs in a Rug)

cardstock-pink (Blush, Colonial White and Buttercup from CTMH), white (Office Max, 110lb.)

inks-CTMH

stickles

twine

brad

Wink of Stella clear

I hope they like it!
