Birthday card- Quietfire and Spellbinders
Hello All!
How is your week going? I hope great! I have been playing with my new Spellbinders and trying to figure out how to make cards that are a flatter (as least flatter to me) to mail. I always seem to make a card that does not fit well in envelopes. My goal tonight was to make a quick little birthday card that had two layers...but I ended up with six on the front part of my card. LOL. Let's just say it is a work in progress.
The sentiment is from Quietfire's set Happy Family Days and I can't get over how much I keep using this set! The paper was free from a magazine (three cheers for cool free paper!). The layers are from top to bottom: Spellbinders Mystical Embrace, seam binding dyed with TH Victorian Velvet, two Spellbinders Corner Flourish, one Die-Versions Ornamental Fence (used on vellum), one sheet of patterned paper, and the base is Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles. Also used were TH inks in Victorian Velvet and Walnut Stain.
The good thing about my "flatter card" is that I actually did not apply a big flower to my bow (I was tempted!) and went with a single pearl. High fives to a card that is mail-able!
Have a good night and thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

I laughed when I read this, as I'm on the same mission. My cards are costing a fortune to send, but I'm like you, I lurve me some layers! I got six layers on a card today, but by skipping the foam tape, it's pretty flat. *Sigh* I miss the foam tape.... Anyway, your card turned out beautifully.The colours and papers are lovely, and I like the Quietfire stamps you've been showing. I love all the new SB you are using, I'm living vicariously through you, as I have (mostly) successfully resisted the Siren song of the new Spellbinders. (River needs dental work $$)
