This is the card that I made for my niece's birthday. I can't believe that she is no longer a teenager and hopefully will be able to go to her graduation in 2 years - although I least I will not have to travel to the US for hers.
I thought that I would use one of Sue Wilson 's stamps and dies as I really love her designs and it is nice to have the matching stamps and dies to use. I used the stamp Kalika Trio. I coloured it using Chameleon pens. This was the first time that I had really used the Chameleon pens and not sure that I am that keen on them. The idea sounds great but not as easy to use in reality. To me you do not get as much control with them. I coloured the centre of another stamped image and then cut out the layers using Greek Island Kefalonia die but only using the outside edges. I then cut out another one in cream but this time included the embossing die and then cut out a centre and foiled the greeting onto this.
I mounted both of these onto cream card adding ribbon to beneath the greeting and then onto brown card.
Very pretty card Elaine and just taken a look at the ones you did at the Clarity retreat. They are all gorgeous. Bet you had a wonderful time. Hope you are well. Will be down your way on Sunday as we are celebrating my Sister in laws birthday with a meal at the Cranleigh in Hornchurch. Then it's off to Sudbury for a few days to stay with John's brother. xx
