scrimpingmommy: I couldnt be more proud ... team promotion card

I sat creating this lovely card last night...fussy cutting the elements pondering whom the recipient would be. Then I awoke this morning to find one of my amazing ladies on my team had promoted to Bronze Elite. I think this card was just made for her ...I just didn't know it at the time... fate !

I combined a current set Beautiful promenade with a new set Strong and Beautiful where my sentiment is taken from. This set is out 3rd of January and has the most uplifting sentiments within , and it uplifts your own spirit knowing your sending a special card which hopefully will lift the recipient.

I did hand cut all the elements..we all have a budget and sometimes I forfeit the ease and precision of thinlits to give me more for stamps. This set was not to difficult to cut and I find it quite a mind full task now I am practised at it.

I layered very vanilla over a petal pink card base adding a torn strip of petal promenade paper. I then added a torn vellum layer... a popular technique for me as I love the softness it gives...almost a dreamy look. The sheer Old olive ribbon is simply wound around then tied in the centre ..I did cheat and create the bow separate and glue it on ! Then I added my sentiment and my stamped and cut elements using dimensionals beneath the petals to make it look almost padded. The stamen in the centre are accentuated with a gelly roll iridescent glitter gell pen and in the hand it twinkles softly.

I hope you enjoyed this project and are inspired to give it a try yourself. I have listed the products used below should you wish to purchase any simply click the photographs and they will take you to browse the store.
