Tonight was my monthly scrapbooking night for July…and we’re officially more than half way done 2010. I was totally excited about tonight because we used one of my favourite designer series paper packs, Island Oasis from the Summer Mini. I’m going to be so sad when it retires on August 31st. I’ve been holding onto that paper pack since March when I pre-ordered it and I finally got to use it, YAY!!! I’m going to use it to a make a card this weekend, maybe for my sister’s birthday…I can’t wait! I’ll make sure to post a picture of that card as soon as I finish making it.
For today’s card, I made a wedding shower card for someone very special. I guess it could be for a baby shower too. I used the retired Sending Love specialty paper. I’m not sure if you can tell from the picture but the top patterned paper is actually pre-glittered, it’s so pretty! I used a cotton paper flower and dyed it using a few drops from the Pretty In Pink reinker and silver shimmer paint in rubbing alcohol. The flower is attached to the Very Vanilla card stock using a rhinestone brad…another one of my new favourite embellishments! To break up the two patterned papers in the background, the both edges of the Chocolate Chip 5/8 inch satin ribbon were glued to the back of the Real Red card stock using Snail adhesive. I hope she likes the card and I hope you do too.
