Hello Everyone!
Today I wanted to share a set of cards that I made in a strip quilt kind of style. They were a lot of work but fun to do!
I used the "Mini Flower Background" stamp from I Brake For Stamps.
The papers are Vista, Fairway, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Mountain Rose, and Antique Gold, in text and cardstock weight, all from The Paper Temptress.
The beautiful ribbons are from the "Shimmer Satin Assortment" from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
The roses in the center of the bows are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
First, I stamped the scraps of assorted papers in VersaMark ink then sprinkled with gold embossing powder and heat set. Then I colored in the leaves and flowers, cut into strips, glued the strips to a piece of cardstock, cut and positioned on the card. I think the results are pretty cool. ;)
I hand drew the sentiments and embossed them as well as the edges of the "quilt".
Thanks so much for dropping by!
I would love to here what you think!
