Well I thought I'd never get this card done in time for the challenge, freezing cold weather, mist bound, poor light for photography, multiple mistakes that ended up in the WPB. My sentiment panel is a little skewed but not so badly that I tossed the lot... this card is decidedly clean and simple for me.
Today brings us to a month long challenge with the lovely ladies over at Crafting By Designs this month we have been sponsored by Fred She Said Designs and I chose to work with the pre coloured set Magnolias, to make a birthday card for one of our family history friends who loves her garden.
Here is my card:-
White 12.6x17.8cm card blank
Navy leather grained cardstock
Polka dot paper
Fred She Said Designs Magnolia Pre Coloured Set LINK
Memory box Tessatina border die
Mpress Crafts nesting die
Sentiment stamps from craft magazine gift
Clear embossing ink
Wow! metallic super fine silver embossing powder
Kaisercraft adhesive pearls
Adhesives:- Double sided tape, glue pen

So glad you persisted with this card Megan as the resultant card is exquisite! I have had a few attempted cards end up in "file 13" too, over the years.

Hi dear there Megan,
ReplyDeleteLovely work on your card, some cards are a struggle and some go together beautifully!
.. wouldn’t know you were having problems! Ia tip perhaps might help, I found if die cut after stamping the words, I’m less likely to cut crookedly as Stamp crookedly! 😊
Your card reminds me I’ve a memory box die similar to that not being used too, lovely work!
Thanks for being a blessing, God bless you too.
Hugs, Shaz in Oz.x
