In Summer...

Hello everyone, Yvonne here with a new card.

I can't believe how time flies.....we're heading to the end of  Summer here in Holland....the hydrengeas are fading colors and the leaves are about to change color.
So....I made a card to celebrate summer!
Fresh pastel colors and an amazing stamp by Quietfire Design is all one needs :-))

For my card I used the stamp "In Summer" (SKU5997)...I love this quote.
The sentiment is taped upon white cardstock using black  ink and layered some die-cuts.

By using 3D foam squares you get an amazing 3D effect.

And  I added self-adhesive pearls, a satin ribbon and a bow to finish the card.

By the way...did you know that Quietfire Design has lots and lots of gorgeous ribbons?

Wishing you all a great day,
enjoy the end of summer and
a big warm hug from a Sunny Holland.

Just living is not enough....

Hello everyone,
Yvonne here with a card using the gorgeous  Quietfire Design stamp "Living is just not enough".
The card is about layering die-cuts.

The more intricate the die-cut the less other embellishements you need.
So I only added a satin bow and some self-adhesive pearls to finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs from Holland,
