Hi, sorry I have been absent for so long. The remodel keeps moving through different phases, I get things put back together then it gets torn up all over again. The end is in sight, thank goodness!
I made this card for my friend Celeste from Celestina Marie Design to thank her for the exquisite hand painted ornaments she sent me. The image is from Gecko Galz , I printed it on matte photo paper to capture all the beauty. The paper is from Shabby Cottage Studio also printed on matte photo paper. I have been admiring the use of gauze on other blogs, I sprayed this gauze with some Tattered Angels glimmer mist, I made the hat pin from items at Pizzazz Aplenty.
and the vintage ribbon charm is from my Mothers costume jewelry box. I used my Perfect Layers square and rulers to get the nice square cuts and borders. (use my link and coupon code Bove5%, you will save 5% on the Perfect layers rulers and get flat rate priority shipping.
If you are looking for some great ideas for Christmas presents, all of the above links are places I can vouch for, they all have beautiful items to get or give.
Thanks for looking and I hope to be posting more frequently in the future. I am entering this card into Beverly's Pink Saturday, thanks for hosting Beverly, also into the Gecko Galz Blog Challenge.
