Hello everyone and welcome back. While cleaning up some craft supplies, I found this pretty paper from Marianne Designs called Country Flowers.
After rummaging through my dies, I thought this Slatted & Eclipse Oval die from Divinity Designs would work well and so I went to work.
I never get tired of this slatted look. It's so subtle but makes a pretty paper really stand out.
I normally cut out the slatted shape 3 times using thick cardstock. Then I adhere each layer to each other using liquid glue. I find that these 3 layers plus the pretty paper layer gives it enough height without adding too much bulk. This is especially important when you mail cards overseas. Anything thicker than 1/4" requires additional postage.
On the inside, I used the following products:
Stampabilities - Elegant Happy Birthday
VersaFine Clair Inks - Shady Lane
eK punches - photo corners
And that was a quick and easy birthday card done. It doesn't show on the pic, but I did add a couple of small lilac butterflies to the inside just to add a little more interest and to match the front of the card.
See you again soon.
Hugs,
