I am in love with this card! I can’t wait for you to see how fun it is to make. You will need a few non-basic supplies to create it, but they are supplies you will use over and over. Particularly, you need a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, some dies and the Blending Brushes. I’m guessing you already have some ink pads. We made this card as one of our Club projects and it was a definite WOW. Even if you don’t have the supplies yet, you’ll want to watch my video to see how cool it is: Blending Bushes Sponging with a Template.
Do you agree with me that’s it’s beautiful??? As you watch the video, imagine what other dies and colors you can use to transform this card into another occasion. Beautiful foliage colors with a leaf template, snowflakes in all sorts of colors, Easter Eggs, Summer fun…..you just need a detailed die that can go on top of the coloring. Watch and see. You’ll also get a tip on how I stamped the happy birthday in two colors.
