Bring on the Bling!
Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop! This week we are all about the BLING!
Honestly, I wasn't sure where to start!! So, I sat down and do what I normally do when ideas are slim, I look through my designer paper and what I have on my desk. This time around, the COTTAGE GREETINGS CARD KIT stood out to me since it has sequins and silver in it.
This is an idea that struck me as I looked at the paper. Do heat embossing directly on the paper with a big, bold sentiment. And what could be better for big and bold than BOTANICALS FOR YOU.
Since the card has silver all over it, the sentiment needed to stand out. So, in comes black embossing powder and a ginormous greeting. I also thought doing a juxtaposition would be cool so that's how the black paper with silver embossing came about.
And of course since we are all about bling, I had to add lots of SEQUINS! And with this card being from the COTTAGE GREETINGS CARD KIT, I needed the envelope that was included as this is a square card. The silver liner was the final addition of bling. And here's a little tip~~ cut down the liner since you can't see the bottom! I cut off three inches from the bottom and tucked it away for another day!
Now for the good stuff...the supply list so you can make your own card!
