For this month's hop, we are each sharing three of our favorite products. Choosing only three favorites from all that we have to offer was no easy task! I settled on our B&T Duos (from the Florence Paper Packet), Thin Cuts (A Bunch of Love), and Rose Gold Foil Tape for my project.
Last month I made a birthday card using the special Happy Times Paper Packet, Happy Times Stamp set, and the May SOTM, Celebrate with Cake. I neglected to post the project during the month of May, so I will share it at the end of this post. I liked the card so much, I decided to use the same design and concepts to create a card for this hop.
The edges of the card front, one of the mats, and the inside of the card are all covered with the Rose Gold Foil Tape. I tried to capture the shine of the foil in the pictures. I stamped the floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with Shin Han Touch Twin Markers. After lining up the image inside the matching A Bunch Of Love thin Cuts, I ran it through my Cuttlebug and popped it up on the card with 3-D Foam Tape.
I curved the sentiment on my block to fit inside the banner. The background piece has a light wash of blue watercolor paint.
I lightly embellished the inside of the card with two of the B&T Duos from the Florence Paper Packet. The Rose Gold Foil Tape is the star of the show as it shimmers in the light.
The card I created last month with the Happy Times Paper Packet is a rotated version of the special friend card I just shared. I loved the gold foil embossing on some of the Happy Times B&T papers and wanted to highlight it with the Gold Foil Tape.
The happy birthday sentiment of the front and celebrate sentiment on the inside are embossed with gold embossing powder, adding to the shine from the gold foil.
Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to check out Lisa's blog and Donna's blog to see what they made.
