Happy Friday, everyone! It's been a long, busy week for me. By the time today is over, I will have 50 hours in at work. Ugh! Next week will be better, though. Both my husband and I are taking Monday and Tuesday off to celebrate our 30th(!) wedding anniversary. I may do nothing but sleep!
I made this card a couple weeks ago and saved it until today. I knew I'd be too busy this week to have any time to create. It's a new card design for me, called a flip swing card. What do you think?
If you want to try one yourself, I cut it out on my Silhouette, using this file I found in the Silhouette Online Store. Then, I used a couple different Unity stamps on the front of the card: "Gingham Christmas Greetings" and "naughty.nice.not sure". I used ink from an ink pad and a water pen to get the watercolor effect on the holly and berries.
And, here's the inside, "flipped" part:
I used a Close To My Heart image and sentiment stamp inside, and more watercolor painting on the bird, then dressing the bird up with some Stickles and a Viva Décor Pearl pen. After all, it's Christmas, and he needs to sparkle and shine! I also paper pieced his hat to give him some more dimension.
First, my design team announcement. I've been just waiting to spill the beans on this one! I made the 2014 Timeless Twine Design Team! I can't wait! The chance to play with twine for a year! And with some really talented gals! Yeah!
