Lillybet's Papers

I love tree stamps and seem unable to resist a new one!!! So when the me Sheltering Tree stamp set appeared in the new catalogue it was instantly on my wish list. It has taken me longer than I thought it would to get some use out of it and this one is using  Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo and Crushed Cantaloupe.  With the two little pink polka dot hearts I am entering it in the Just Add Ink Challenge#250 - well that was the plan but I missed the deadline! No matter it is still a cute card. The button and orange ribbon is from one of the Sale-a Bration Pack s you can choose.

The First Edition DSP is cut as a single piece to sit behind and i have punched 2 circles with the Small Scallop Punch from Raspberry Ripple . I distressed the circles with my bone folder until the cardstock separated and then layered them back together and scrunched them up for some depth. They are stitched with some linen thread and a small flower button  extra small flowers punched out with a retired flower trio punch. The Little Leaves sizzlit was used, and the Apothecary Framelits for the Green label. The Thankyou is also a retired stampset. different view, not the best photograph sorry! This was a card made at my latest class using the lattice die and Mixed Bunch. very easy and quite quick - always a bonus. We used Regal Rose and Naturals White as the card base, the gi...
