Only Once

This card was made for my dear friend Susan for her birthday. I cased this card from Kharmagirl. I love the colors, layout and of course set that she used. The piercing was the perfect touch. I did use a retired paper, something I very rarely do. I could not match the green paper that she used so I made my own with color on color ink and Whisper White craft ink. Both the gray designer paper and the Baja Breeze paper are embossed with the harlequin texture plate. I did sponge around and across the top of the Baja Breeze.

Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral

Paper: Baja Breeze, Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White, Retired Prestwick Designer Paper

Ink: Old Olive, Whisper White Craft Ink, Basic Grey

Accessories: Basic Black Grosgrain, 5/16" Jumbo Brads, Mat Pack for piercing

Anniversary

First in case my posts seem jumbled- I have been pre-posting quite a few of my projects for the past few months. That way if I have the time to stamp but do not have the time to post I , hopefully, will always have something on stand by. I just never know when I will not be feeling well enough to stamp or post so at this point I am just building up some drafts.

This specific card went to my sister and brother-in-law the middle of March for their anniversary. Her wedding colors 17 years ago were black, white and red so those were the colors I went with. Speaking of anniversaries my husband and I celebrated our 24th the end of March.

I cased this card from annascreations . I have to say this is now my favorite set and I reach for it quite a bit. So between this set and the Big Shot, I hope you do not get bored...

I just randomly stamped the background with Basic Gray. I cut the Top Note out twice with the Big Shot and Die and trimmed the Basic Black on the perforations. The red rose was embossed with versa mark ink and black embossing powder and then cut out. The little leaves are also die cuts with the Big Shot. The Happy Anniversary is also embossed but with the white embossing powder.
