Thanks for all the well wishes on my last post! Thankfully when I woke up on Sunday I felt fine (for the most part - I think it's just a cold and it's just lingering and is so annoying) so I still got to go to the city to see my friend. I had made her birthday present and she really liked it (I'll be posting about that later this week) so that was good!
We did a bit of shopping (Dollarama and WalMart - woo!! LOL) and then went and saw Confessions of a Shopaholic in the theater - OMG that movie was SO funny. Total chic flick and we both loved it - if you're in to girly movies I really recommend it ;o)
When I got home last night I was exhausted (it's over an hour drive to the city) so I didn't post anything new - but I have something that I made last week to share now:
I recently got the Fifth Avenue Floral set from Stampin' Up! - LOVE that set! As soon as I saw it I HAD to have it. I decided to make a card using that set along with stamps from my Friend Sentiments set.
I die cut the main layer with the SU! Top Note die then stamped the flowers onto the CS using different Colorbox chalk inks. Then I spritzed on some brown with a SU! marker and color spritzer.
To get a border around the Top Note I trimmed the white one around the stitching lines then roughed that up with my edge distresser. I then cut a second Top Note from teal cardstock and layered the white one on top.
The teal rhinestones I had in my stash (they were My Mind's Eye ones and are self-adhesive - I got them years ago).
The sentiment from my Friend Sentiments set was stamped onto Pink Pirouette cardstock then cut out with one of the Label Trio Dies.
I added the Chocolate Taffeta (SU!) to the main layer then adhered the die cut sentiment on top of it.
I used my CuttleBug Floral Screen embossing folder on the pink cardstock before spritzing it with the brown marker and layering it.
On the inside of the card I die cut another Top Note and stamped and spritzed it like the one on the front (it really only took a couple of minutes to do), then stamped another sentiment from my Friend Sentiments set, die cut that with the Label Trio die and adhered it to the Top Note image.
I used scissors to trim the pink cardstock that was hanging over the edge of the Top Note before adhering it all to the inside of the card.
