Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you all had a really good Saturday. I live in Kent and it was really hot yesterday, but I understand not for everybody in the country. I don't like it too hot, but listen to me moaning when some of you had dreadful weather.
Today's card is a red and white card I made for my Daughter's Birthday in July, but I never gave her this one as I remembered she had asked me to make her one with Tulips on.
It's my usual favourite size 8x8 white card. Matted and layered with red holographic card. I then used a Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Enchanted folder and white card and embossed it. I cut out two red strips of card and mounted them on foam pads. Then I cut out 4 Spellbinders Parisian Accents and glued them back to back. Put a strip of red stones in the middle. The strips of stones were a bargain in a pound shop, for the pound you not only got those strips but 2 larger stone strips, and a sort of swag
too. I cut out Parisian Accents motif and lacy circles too and mounted one on top of the other. Then
I coloured my large flower with a red whisper pen and put some glitter glue on top of the flower, and a white stone from my stash in the centre. I added an organza bow with a red stone oblong centre piece from my stash. Finally I finished off the edges of the Parisian Accents with Cosmic shimmer Pearl PVA
glue, to make the pearly dots.
I am sorry about the left hand side of the card. The white on the edge of the card seems to have merged
with the white card background when I photographed it.
Well thats all for now, I hope everybody has a really lovely Sunday, and I also hope you enjoyed looking at my card today.
