SEI Celebration

Made a quick birthday card using more of the papers from SEI's Couture Collection. Had a leftover strip that I used as the background. Added a punched border strip, then used the same punch to create the background for the sentiment. Die cut two swirls, using the dark grey one as a shadow. Dug out some old Prima flowers, using an SEI brad for the center. Thought I was done, but ended up with a 'spot' from the glue, so had to add a few clear sequins. I think they added a nice touch! TFL!

Paper: SEI: Couture

Stamps: Close To My Heart: Celebration

Dies: MFT: Medium Fancy Flourish

FMS450

Made a few quick cards using SEI's Couture Paper Pad. Fell in love with these papers long ago, so bought both the 12 x 12 and 6 x 6 pads. Still find them perfect for so many different occasions. This one is card to cheer someone who is in the hospital. I made it following Sketch #450 at Freshly Made Sketches. Thanks for looking!

Ice Cream Ribbons

I set out to make a summery bday card so I pulled out MFT's Your'e the Sweetest Stamps & Dies. When I saw their latest Sketch Challenge, I just had to dig out these ice-cream colored ribbons - don't they just go so perfectly with the mint ice cream theme? I know I've made several of these types of cards in the past, but it was fun to be able to use all five of the ribbons, thanks to the inspirational sketch. 

The scalloped circle is popped up with a foam circle behind it, and the ice cream cone is popped up with foam adhesive squares for added dimension. I purposely adhered the ice cream scoops in a haphazard way to add interest. Finished off the background with a few creamy pink enamel dots. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Entering this in the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #501.
