New cards

For those of you that came to my last card class, this is an alternate version of the card. I hope to get the original on here too but I keep forgetting to take the picture.

I used shimmery white cardstock for the focal point. The flowers are the new embossing folder, Elegant Bouquet. What i did is brayer the embossing folder on the side that has the stampin up logo with sage shadow then put my cardstock in there and ran it through the big kick. Then used the soft suede marker to color the dots. Added some ribbon and punch outs. The colors are Soft Suede, Sage Shadow and Shimmery White.

This card I made for a friend for her to send to someone that likes patchwork.

It is a retired designer series paper but you really can use anything. The squares are 1.25" and I adhered them to a piece of scrap cardstock then ran it through the big kick with the Top Note die. I used my marker on perforations to make it look like stitching. Then I ran it through the big kick inside the Finial Press embossing folder as well as the front of the card base. Then used the modern label punch and the word window punch for the greeting. With a little Ivory taffeta ribbon as the final touch. She loved it :)
