Marbled background for FMS#253

In an effort to use up bits and pieces (of which I always seem to have a ton) I put together this card using some remnants from a shaving cream marbling class that I held a while ago. The stamped leaves are from Thoughtful Branches and were lying on my desk, and the cork remnant is from a very old Sale a Bration bundle. The card base is Dapper Denim and it is one of the few new products used here!!!  the other is the copper foil for the sihouette leaf (also thoughtful branches), and the enamel dots.

My trademark handmade matching envelope is Wild Wasabi froma retired pack of DSP, and he corrugated White card is also retired. so I think I have done quite well using up quite a collection of old bits. the sketch from  FMS worked well for this.

thanks for looking, 

Liz

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
