Finally - the new catalogue is here! Are you as excited as I am? I can't wait to share the new products with you - starting today!
This card is featuring a new hostess set called Faith in Nature. As soon as I saw it, I thought it would look really nice embossed and watercolored, which is what I did here using gold embossing powder and inks with an Aquapainter brush. I also used the leaf image from the same set to create the card's background
Another new item I used is the latest On Board assortment, from which I took the tag with which I created my sentiment block. I covered the chipboard tag with Baja Breeze Craft ink, dryed the ink with my heat tool and used the Crop-a-Dile to add holes on both sides. I then gold-embossed a sentiment from the Oval All set, punched it out with the oval punch and matted it with a piece of cardstock punched with the Scallop Oval punch. The tag was held in place on the card with a piece of white taffeta ribbon.
The patterned paper I used on the card is from the Just Eat cake paper pack and the white lace at the top was created with a border punch, two new items from the new catalogue. I am happy to report that the three-way punch that was sold in the Summer mini (and staying in the new cattie) is the perfect shape to create a mat and add color behind the punched lace, as you can see here. I also added rhinestones to the center of the flowers.
I finished the card off with a strip of patterned paper on which I added three shimmer brads in matching colors.

J'aime beaucoup ta carte ! J'avais vu ce sketch, et quelques cartes faites avec, mais je ne les trouvais pas vraiment à mon goût et je trouvais le sketch un peu bizarre. Ta carte est la plus belle que j'ai vue avec ce sketch !! Et sur ta carte, je trouve le sketch super beau !nnElle est vraiment hyper réussie ! BRAVO !!
