Do you ever buy a craft product just for one part of a pack? Maybe it's a set of dies that you purchased for one die, or a stamp set? This time, for me, it was one pattern in the Noble Peacock SDSP. I really loved the Blueberry Bushel paper in the pack, and bought it just for that! Although, I think once I get into Christmas card making, the Pretty Peacock sheets will be just as appealing!
I made this card as a class sample to show off the gorgeous foil DSP. I paired it with plain Black Foil, with some Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon for a touch of glitz. After I'd glued it all down I looked at it and wished I'd embossed the plain black foil with the Subtle Embossing Folder. My class ladies all went for this option, and it looked fabulous.
I cut the 'Happy' from Black Foil using the Merry Christmas Dies. I love that the 'Happy' works equally well on a birthday card as it does on a Christmas card. I layered it over some vellum that I'd cropped using a Stitched Nested Labels Die. The Classic Label Punch was the perfect choice for the 'Birthday' part of the sentiment, as it mirrors the Labels Die shape.
A little strip of the DSP finishes off the inside. I like occasionally doing a vertical strip rather than horizontal, just for something different. In this case it ties the inside layout with the front layout, so I think it was a good decision.
Bye for now,
Tina
