Especially for You

 

SC1061 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I am trying to use up some DMC floss that is on the back of my craft chair. I love these butterflies and have done a few of them just waiting on cards.

The butterfly, from Spellbinders, was layered in a die cut square that I left in the die cut and sponged some green in the frame.

I recently got the Spellbinders hot foil machine, and I have been practicing with it so I can use it for my son's graduation card.

This card was finished with a few green candy dots.

You Are One of a Kind

 



IC1013 - Art.com - INSPIRATION

The inspiration was perfect for me to use this great Spellbinders set to create my son's graduation card.

The base is stamped using The Ton's Congratulations stamp. I then cut down some small white card stock and die cut the playing card pieces.

Next, I die cut the person from the Spellbinders set and then used the Sizzix ghost die cut the cut wispy hair.

The congratulations was cut 2 times in white then once in gold and layered and the sentiment is foiled.

The card front is finished with a couple of other die cut playing card shapes and the layered heart.

For the inside, I used the Karen Burniston House of Cards and created the built-up playing cards.
