Happy Birthday in Wisteria

Hi Everyone,
Today I've created a card to the Create with Connie and Mary sketch.
I think I am addicted to this designer frame embossing folder. I just love the shabby look it gives a sentiment when you tear around the edges and sponge them. A little ink sponged over the raised areas gives them definition. The challenge at Charisma Cardz is Shabby Chic so I'll enter this card there too.

P1030421

Perfect Punches “Happy Birthday” is stamped in Basic Gray ink and punched out with the X-Large Oval punch. A perfect fit for it! I say this over and over again – Stampin Up have co-ordinated everything in their catalogue from punches to fit stamps to colour ranges including papers, inks & cardstocks. It makes it so easy to work with.

The gorgeous pattern and little flower are from the Bliss stamp set and were stamped in Wisteria Wonder ink to match the base cardstock and the frame. I distressed the edges of the Whisper White mat and sponged them with a little Wisteria Wonder ink before adhering to the base card.

This could almost be called a CAS card
( if it weren’t for the Vintage attack of tearing, sponging & framing )

If you like this card – 
All it would take to make one like it for yourself is for you to book an in-home workshop with me.

You can get a group of friends together and have an afternoon of fun making a couple of cards to keep and browsing the rest of the products in the Stampin’ Up catalogues.
And……as a hostess….. you would be eligible for rewards based on any sales made, which is a great!
So head on over to My Stampin Up Website and check out the rewards you can earn as a hostess on the Host a Workshop tab. Then click on the contact me button at the top to book your very own workshop with me. It’ll be fun!
Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon…
