Happy Friday, everyone! Another hot, sticky day here in SE PA! We had such a nice June, I hate to complain though! Anyway, Just Add Ink has a lovely sketch this week:
and I needed a thank you card, so I pulled out my favorite bird print from the Rings of Love DSP and made this:
I already had an unused So Saffron panel that was diecut with a Stitched Rectangle die, so I positioned it in my Big Shot with another rectangle die creating a point at the bottom and ran just the bottom portion through. I then embossed it with the Timber EF, added an embossed sentiment from Hand-Penned Petals and fussy cut it into my sentiment banner:
I added a couple of Soft Seafoam leaf diecuts to coordinate with the DSP. Since I already had all my supplies out, I made another one; this time I used the retired Stitched Nested Labels dies to create a frame from So Saffron cardstock, then added vellum behind it. Same sentiment for the horizontal piece but I used a banner die from Stylish Shapes:
Thanks for popping in today! Lots of chores to do, so I'd better get busy! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

What a beautiful way to show off that gorgeous background paper!
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards, LeAnne! Love that paper and your banners are both perfect with it! Great job on fussy cutting around that sentiment! It's hot and sticky here too. Good weather to stay inside and craft.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I love this DSP! What a fun sketch...I may have to use it on a card.
ReplyDeleteBoth are so pretty, LeAnne! You definitely can't go wrong with this pack of paper! Love the design on them, too! Stay cool and have a great day! :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I LOVE the vellum you added to the second banner! Two fabulous cards, LeAnne!
