I used an 8 x 8 fancy edge card blank for my base card. I chose an image from Halcyon Days cd-rom from Crafters Companion which I printed 4 times onto glossy photo paper. I then cut the images to create a decoupage. This was then matted onto dark blue cardstock from Papermill and a silver border peel off added.
I chose a pretty backing paper from the same cd-rom and printed this onto smooth printer paper. I then embossed some blue cardstock, again from Papermill using a kites embossing folder from Crafters Companion and cut out two equal squares. I chose some sand coloured Coredinations card from Crafters Companion and embossed this using a beach huts embossing folder, again from Crafters Companion. I then cut this into a further two equal squares. Some pretty lace was added across the centre of the card.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment using a Lili Of The Valley stamp and heat embossed using fine detail silver embossing powder. This was then fussy cut and added to the card.
I love the images on this cd-rom, they are all so cheery and I feel sure to give anyone feeling under the weather a bit of a boost.
Thanks for visiting my blog today.
