Yesterday was Julia’s son and fiancee’s engagement party so Julia and I spent the previous three evenings baking. It was fun – we always have fun together – but hard work. Hence the lateness of this post. Here’s the card that I made for Ross and Abby – I hope they like it.
Base: 8.5″ by 5.5″ cajun craze
Top layer: 4″ by 5.25″ cajun craze
Stamp set: Bravo
Ink: versamark
I used the confetti stars punch on the edge of the cardstock and then, after swiping the embossing buddy over the card, stamped the Congrats! in versamark and sprinkled the gold embossing powder over it. After a couple of flicks to the back of the card to remove excess, I used the heat emboss tool. Next I cut a piece of gold foil just a tad under 5.25″ by 1.25″ and adhered it behind the stars. It’s easiest to put the glue on the card in order to avoid the cut outs.
To finish I used the backgrounds DSP to line the envelope. I made this on Saturday morning just before the brunch. Since I really like this design, I think I’ll make a few to have on hand in order to be a bit more prepared!
Another lovely card, Liz! The metallics help to convey the celebratory message, don’t you think? I hope everyone had fun.
Thanks Jen. That’s what I thought too. I suppose it would be an interesting challenge to try to make a congratulations card without metallics!
