In Summer...

Hello everyone, Yvonne here with a new card.

I can't believe how time flies.....we're heading to the end of  Summer here in Holland....the hydrengeas are fading colors and the leaves are about to change color.
So....I made a card to celebrate summer!
Fresh pastel colors and an amazing stamp by Quietfire Design is all one needs :-))

For my card I used the stamp "In Summer" (SKU5997)...I love this quote.
The sentiment is taped upon white cardstock using black  ink and layered some die-cuts.

By using 3D foam squares you get an amazing 3D effect.

And  I added self-adhesive pearls, a satin ribbon and a bow to finish the card.

By the way...did you know that Quietfire Design has lots and lots of gorgeous ribbons?

Wishing you all a great day,
enjoy the end of summer and
a big warm hug from a Sunny Holland.

Your friendship means so much

I think one of my most favorite stamps to have on hand and to make up is a card for a friend. Quietfire Design has so many gorgeous ones and sometimes it's really hard to pick a favorite but todays card is really special.

I love this stamp because it has the most gorgeous swirls and curls and really does the sentiment justice.  I chose a soft palette of aqua and pale ivory cardstock to make my card and layered it using a Becca Feeken die that i had in my stash.  To add a little more depth i inked the die with a little bit of aqua ink to make parts in the designs pop more and slightly offset it when i glued it together to frame it.  This gave it a gentle framing around the center and didn't make the ivory so bright.  It just blends more.

And here is a quick closeup of the sentiment... isn't it gorgeous!  And here is the stamp in case you need to place a quick order!
