Sweet Summer x 3

Often when I am making a card I go through several stage to make the card exactly what I want. I start out simple, with simple colours and keep adding to it until I think it's perfect. This month at my Stampers Clubs I did a set of projects showing how different a card looks as you add more details/colours/embellishments to a card.

This is a super simple card with limited colours and embellisments. On this card I used:

-Sweet Summer stamp set(which you can earn FREE for spending $60 out of the catalogue)

-So Happy for You Stamp Set (Sale-abration)

-Beautiful Wings embosslits die

-Pretty ink Pink, Very Vanilla cardstock

-Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink

-Pretty in Pink Stampin Write Marker

-Pearl Jewel

For card # 2 I added a few details to make it different (some are hard to see in the scan) First I added a layer of Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the pink berries on the background and third I sponged some pretty in pink ink around the butterfly to help it "pop" a bit.

For the third card I added a few more items to make the card a bit more interesting. First I added a small Pink Piroutte mini butterfly to the center of the larger butterfly. Second I added several mini pearl jewels around the background. And third I layered the Dotted Scallop Ribbon border (which was cut in half lengthwise) to add a scallop border to the sentiment.

Sale-a-bration is my favourite time of the year because I just love getting FREE stuff. It's also a great time to host a workshop because you get even more FREE stuff. Contact me (s-pdavid@sympatico.ca ) for more details.

My last order of the month is going in next Saturday so if there is anything you need, please get your order to me before then!
