Just five more minutes !

Hello everyone,

REALLY quick post today to share a card I made for my cousin's birthday. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the big even :( but I wanted to send him a nice card anyway!

I bought a 6x6 BoBunny paper pad some time ago coz it was so stinkn' cute! So I knew exactly what paper I wanted to use :) And then, I tried to come up with a card on my own, no sketch or anything.

And here is the result:


I layered four hearts one on top of each other. Then, I stamped my sentiment and cut it into a banner shape. I wanted another "Congratulations" one at first, but it was too long, so I settled for this one. I also inked all the edges with "Broken China" distress ink. What is it with this blue that makes it so amazing? I also had a beautiful heart stamp that I had never really used, so I stamped it in the inside :). And I finished it off with the three rhinestones, to break the monotony!


STASH USED

* Rhinestones
* The stamps
* The distress inks


WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS CARD

* I came up with it without a sketch, was all in my little head
* I LOOOVE using 6x6 paper pads, don't know why

Oh man, I know I should be ashamed, and I am! I haven't been posting in two weeks! Haven't scrapbooked much either to tell the truth. Fiancé had food poisoning and got a one-week sick leave! I'm not all that sure it was food poisoning since I haven't felt well for a week.... I think he passed whatever he had on to me! ANYWAY! We're all fine now and I decided to scrapbook this week end!

So here is a page I made using the Sunday Sketch by Studio Calico.

 As you can see, it was originally a 8x11 or so, but I made it 12x12! I should try another format some time...

So, here is my take on it:



 And would it be a real post without a few close-ups?

Used WeRMM baker's twine, Sizzix dies for the hearts. PP is BG's "Indie Bloom"

Small letters are Lily bee design, big ones are "Jewelry box" Thickers. Cut out a heart out of vellum to put them together and hand stitched in the middle.

Paper tape is Cavallini & Co.

"Genuine" is from a "Tiny Type" sticker sheet from Cosmo Cricket. Brads are from BG. The shape is a Spellbinder die.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS LO

* The grey coloured backgroung by Bazill!
* The use of the baker's twine! I love the result :)
* Used my Big Shot quite a lot for this!


STASH USED

* The vellum
* The brads!

Thanks for stopping by!!
