A feminine card today, continuing my mission of trying to use some of my old stash. I thought this would be suitable for an anniversary or engagement card.
I used an old wood mounted Docraft text stamp (dated 2004!) for the main focus, stamping it with Versafine Clair 'Morning Mist'. The papers are from an old Docrafts paper pad and I found a snippet of embossed white card from a previous project, which was just the right size. All the grey card was also snippets, bought from the local Scrapstore ages ago. Three white pearls finished off my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Good card for the Snippets challenge and great that you are using items you've had a long time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Liz. The layers are gorgeous. I think many of us over the last year have been forced to look at our stash and realise that we have a lot of it! Some of mine has been there that long that I had forgotten about it and it now feels like new stuff LOL
ReplyDeleteLovely card x
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card for an Anniversary Liz, I am donating lots of my stash to the local primary school
ReplyDeleteWhen I was teaching in an infant school, I ran a scrapbooking/cardmaking after school club with a friend and it was a good way to pass on some of my stash. xx
DeleteA really lovely card Liz, great papers, colours and design.

Beautiful card, Liz! The colours pink and grey always go well together. And I love the embossing.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Liv
Beautifully designed and crafted, such pretty papers - I remember these stamps, I have similar ones with different wording. You're doing well with using your older stash.

This is so pretty and such a great use of your old stash! I especially like the little hearts on that embossed panel and the colors are just dreamy!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful and elegant too Liz and love the papers and the leftover embossed strip works perfectly, also the word plate mounted over the pretty stitched circle and with the three lovely pearls. A super card! x
ReplyDeleteClassy in the pinks Liz, lovely embossing as well. xx

Fab make, Liz, loving the fact we both chose pink for our Saturday post though how different they both look! Great layers - smashing text image, I have some of the DoCrafts text stamps but mine are all unmounted. The pearls are such a nice touch too
