Anyway, I'm here to share a very elegant birthday card today.
I used Background Basics: Tin Types with smokey shadow and aqua mist ink to create the pattern on the bottom of the card. The focal image is from Mat Stack 1 Collection- love this set! I've been using it a lot lately! A satin aqua mist bow finishes it off for a clean and classic look.
Also, I am proud to say the Christmas cards went out in the mail yesterday! While I can't show you the finished product until Christmas, I can show you a little sneak peek.....
love felt, love buttons, love twine.... so pretty....
I'm off to go play with these crazy kiddos now! Have a great day!
THINK WARM THOUGHTS!
Steph
FYI: I'll work on a tutorial for you guys who are interested in making a grid with a score board! Be back soon with that! So glad you like the technique!
