I started with a white card base and added a layer of pink and white. The next layer is one that I made a while back when I was playing with my Ken Oliver Color Bursts. I made them using different colors so now I have one ready for this card. I like to make extra's when I have the supplies out, they really come in handy to help you a make a quick card for an occasion you may have forgotten about.. The color bursts also are good to have for a card or project when you do not have the color of paper you need. You just make your own. For this background I used the Memory Box Texture Drip Ring stencil along with Ken Oliver Color Bursts in Alazarin Crimson, Orange and just a little dab of the Ultramarine Blue, which made the hint of green on my card.
I used the Poppy Stamps Teacup Stack die that just arrived from the Classy Cards store. I put some pink and yellow card stock behind the cups. I popped the cups up on the background with Joy Foam Pads Large.
The sentiment was stamped using the Sweet N' Sassy stamps called "Keep In Touch". I like this set because it has almost every sentiment one needs in card making.
For the finishing touch, I added sequins and attached them with Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive. I think the sequins just help to give the card a more festive look.
Thanks, so much, for coming by today. Have a great weekend.
So very, very pretty - and the background is awesome. And, the cup die is adorable.
