I took advantage of this week's
Play Date Cafe Challenge (silver, pink and blue) to make a birthday card for my brother in law's partner/girlfriend.
I also used some of the new Paperartsy leaves stamps which needed to see ink! I did have trouble photographing it though, so it isn't the best picture, sorry!
The background card is inked with tumbled glass and the large leaf stamp I used twice once on plain white (then coloured with spun sugar) and the second time on a piece from the shabby chic paperstack. I used the back of the stamped image for the plain leaf as it was WAY too busy to have two of them with the stamped side up! The "life's a garden" is also a Paperartsy stamp, and appropriate for Mandy as she is a keen gardener.
The small leaf is the silver for the entry - used the matching leaf die on silver metal and stamped the leaf on top. Found a small happy birthday banner stamp to put at the bottom.

Gorgeous leaves..what a fabulous card. Have a great day tomorrow.xx
oooh, I think I am going to have to have a little shop now... nawty Helen,, you are leading me astray ... (like I need any tempting lol) Now, forgive me for asking a dumb question... but.. if it is for your brother in law's partner... wouldn't that be your sister??? Or... is it like a work partner... I get easily confused, feel free to laugh at me lol See you next weekend???
Terrific and original card Helen. Have a great weekend, Annette x
