Daphne's Feb SS (Saturday Swap)

This really is the sweetest card yet. Thanks Daphne! This is a cute little Sunflower card in a sweet little envelope. I think everyone really had fun making it.

We stamped the yellow sunflower, then the orange layer, then the center, and last, the stem... onto a piece of cardstock that we cut out. We also sealed the envelope and cut one end 1 1/4" off. We stamped leaves in both light and dark green and dabbed green to antique it with a finger dauber (another new technique I had not done before).

We stamped HELLO with versamark and clear embossing powder, then used a copper distressed embosssing powder around the edges of that. We crimped the main end of the envelope and pop foamed the flower and hello to it.

The card is antiqued cardstock, (I can't remember what Daphne called it..but it's got little flecks in it, (very pretty) and we stamped the Sunflower to it and leaves, and a sweet little bumble bee. The sentiment we stamped says "True friends grow separately without growing apart". We adhered that to green cardstock and viola! It goes inside the crimped envelope and the part we cut off is the top.

Sweet!!

The next card is a little pin weaving without pins. She gave us the antiqued cardstock, which was scored into 3rds, we punched the flower into the center 3rd, adhered around it and started attaching the ribbon. (OMG, she had soooo much beautiful ribbon for us to choose from). I chose pink/ivory. Once you had all the ribbon attached, you are supposed to then weave it in the other direction but some of us chose to leave it this way (not so nible fingers here). I may try this again soon with paper. I think I've have a better chance of getting it to work for me.

It's a reallly sweet card! I punched 2 holes in the top and attached my ribbon and tied into a bow.




We also had a swap and I got the card below. (ADORABLE!!!!)
