Well, I have lost count of how many posts I have done today. But I will tell you that I appreciate you, the reader, and I love showing you what I have created.
This card has been made for a very special lady who is the mom of one of my best friends. I couldn't resist making a Valentine for her. Everyone who knows and loves her calls her Nana.
Foiling is all the rage lately, and I couldn't resist using that technique on this card. Himself gifted me with a laser printer for Christmas, and it has opened a whole new world of foiling for me. I have a very inexpensive laminator, but it works perfectly for foiling. Here I computer generated the word "Nana", printed it off with my laser printer, and ran it through the laminator. VOILA!!! I also used a product called irRESISTible Pico Embellisher. It's a liquid with a needle nossle and it acts a little like Enamel Accents only a little thinner. I outlined the flowers and leaves with gold. I like how it came out. Then I used Enamel Accents in the middle of the flowers.
Here are the Ingredients:
GKD Dusty rose and White Card Stock
PTI Friendly Flowers Stamp Set
HOTP Love and 5 Hearts Die
GKD Dusty Rose, Sweet Mango, Jelly Bean Green
and Fresh Asparagus Inks
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder
Stash Sequins and Glossy Accents
Black Enamel Accents
