Follow Your Bliss…

I am soooo in LOVE with this set from Lizzie Anne Designs! It’s called Ooh La La and you can buy it HERE! I had some fun making my samples for this set, so here’s the first one!

Merci

I have been digging through my stash of patterned paper lately, and found this Cherrywood Lane line by Heidi Grace that I got from my LSS. I absolutely adore the colors, and thought they would work well with my French themed card.

I mounted the strip of paisley to the striped pattern, then created a frame with the argyle print. To do this, I used the Spellbinders magnetic mat, and placed the plain square Nestability die inside the scalloped square die. I ran it through to cut, and again to emboss.

I cut a square of Valley Forge Olde Natural parchment paper slightly smaller than the frame and lightly marked with a pencil where the inside of the frame was positioned. This allowed me to easily position the images on the panel before adhering it to the back of the frame. I used Ranger Adirondack colors in pink sherbet, hazelnut, and espresso.

I adhered this panel to the back of the frame, added a bit of taupe grosgrain ribbon, and an AMuse pink bling to the top of the tower. The tower was colored with my clear Copic Spica glitter pen for some shimmer.

The sentiment was stamped on the same parchment paper, then punched with the word window and Bazzill brads added. I adhered this to a Prism Razzleberry light cardbase, then added the framed panel on foam dimensional tape.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for a set I made with these darling stamps! Bye for now!! bye

Hello there! Beautiful card. I keep forgetting to tell you that the reinkers arrived! Ummm…there was a bit of a mishap with the yoyo yellow though. Let’s just say…yoyo yellow did not want to stay closed during shipping because he missed being with his friends. Yikes. Have a great day.
