Stampin' Up for a friend



This card was for a friend who was just starting up as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, after being made redundant from her job. I attended her first workshop, and to wish her well in her new venture, I made her a card. As you would.

It uses BG Euphoria DP, Cuttlebugged with the Diamonds embossing folder and sanded, with stripey BG Euphoria paper on the panel, stamped with an Inkadinkado flourish in Dark Brown Chalk Eyes ink. Used a Fiskars Threading Water border punch for the scalloped holey bit, some cream crocheted lace, chipboard letters and computer-generated letters and sentiment, with a metal embellishment 'Go for it!'.. Prima flower, glittered handmade arrow, BG button, cotton twine + rosebuds and gems.

Awww Chris. Thank you. I absolutely loved the card, just my thing, pink and glitzy, you can't go wrong there. In fact I love it so much it's still standing on my fireplace.

And I hope we get to know each other really well. I feel a real bond with you.

See you very soon.

Hugs Debbie xx

Brilliant colour combo and great detail.

I hope your friend does well and can make a go of her new venture.
