I
started with Lost Lagoon cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of
Very Vanilla cardstock that I stamped with the Woodgrain Stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink and then sponged it with
Crumb Cake ink. Next I took a piece of
Blackberry Bliss and ran it through the Big
Shot with the Hexagon Hive Thinlit
Die which created this fun cutout that reminds me of a peak through a
fence.
For
the greeting I used the A Whole Lot of
Lovely Hostess Set and used Stampin’ Write Markers to ink the stamp before
stamping on Very Vanilla Cardstock. I
punched the greeting out with the 2”
Circle Punch and then added little pearls
to the center of each card. Behind the
greeting I added some loops of Linen
Thread as well as a piece of Mossy
Meadow 3/8” Stitched Cotton Ribbon (used Fast Fuse to attach the ribbon so
it ruffled). I also added a piece of
Lost Lagoon cardstock that was cut out with the Big Shot and Floral Frames
Collection Framelits and then embossed it with the Lovely Lace Embossing Folder and added a pearl to the center of the flower (colored it with a Sharpie
first).
I
just had a lot of fun with this card adding lots of little elements but don’t
think it went overboard, and is still fairly mailable. There are some fabulous hostess sets in this
years catalog so make sure to check them out and you can get them for FREE, ask me how!

I haven't used my hexagon hive thinlet in forever! It looks great on your card layered over the Hardwood bg stamp. I'm sure whoever receives this card will be thrilled I'm sure! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteThe hexagon thinlit look fantastic over the hardwood - great effect!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the woodgrain background brings in the Mossy Meadow and the cotton ribbon echoes it beautifully! Very very pretty use of the colors, we are so glad you play along often at Fab Friday, Diana. You're fabulous :->
