Thanks a Bunch

Hi everyone!

Just a quick post today to show you the card I made for my dear friend Lisa. Well, actually it's not the card I gave her, but a "twin sister" LOL! I decided a little while ago to make twin cards for every card I give away.... that way I will always have something to show people who want to see my projects IRL and it's a great way to make my craft room look pretty and give it that HAPPY feeling! :o)

Here it is!


Side view, to show a little dimension:

And of course the Copics I used:

From now on, I will also list the other materials used. Sorry, I forgot to do that in my previous posts. I know some people like to know what papers etc. are used (I know I always do! LOL!)
So, here it goes:

Paper for stamping: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White #80
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, colored in with Copics (see above)
Cardstock: Close To My Heart and SU! Shimmery White
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey - Wisteria collection
Stamps: Magnolia (Tilda with Bunch of Roses from Chasing Butterflies coll. 2009) and CTMH (sentiment).
Ribbon & pearl string: Michaels
Flowers: Yellow roses from Patricia's Etsy Shop and purple Wild Peony from $ store
For the rest: dimensional tape, machine stitching.

Well, I'm off to make some dinner! I'm working on a card for the Magnolia-licious homepage/March challenge. And I'm gonna challenge myself to make a BOYISH card next week... and a clean & simple card (not so simple for me, mind you! ;o)) and a card with an image OTHER than Magnolia (shock!)... Stay tuned! And have a wonderful weekend!

Hugz,
Irma

Irma this is soooooo gorgeous! I just bought my friend this paper for her birthday. I am going to have to send her the link to your blog so she can see what you did with it. I love the yellow and purple together. Your sewing and the way you layered your papers really helped to show off your beautifully colored image. Thanks for sharing this beautiful card with us.
