Thank you, everyone who participated in my give away drawing. It was fun to see how you are all encouraged by our paper crafting community. The winner is:
Hazel of My Card Attic! Congratulations, Hazel, I will contact you soon so I can get your gift to you.
It's spring break this week for our family, and I am going to be off line for most of it. Before I go, I have a card to share for
PTI's Make It Monday #207 with
Laura Bassen. She showed us how to partial die cut double time! I made a simple wedding card. I love how the background comes through the church windows:
I used PTI's Petite Places: Church, and Mat Stack 3 dies to create the double cut. Then I cut out the sentiment with PTI's Swoosh and heat embossed the coordinating stamp in white embossing powder. The heart on the church is cut with a die from Shaker's + Sprinkles from Berry Sorbet cs. The background was a combination of inks: Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise, Orange Zest, and Berry Sorbet. The white panel is raised with foam adhesive.
Laura Bassen's card on the Make It Monday #207 video is a real treat!
Thanks for coming over to visit! I will be away from blogland for most of spring break, so I want to wish everyone an early Happy Easter. Have a wonderful day!
