Spellbinders, PinkFresh Studio, Hero Arts, and Taylored Expressions

 How's that for a mix?  Today's card uses elements from all of these companies to make a mini slimline card, 3" X 6".


supplies: Cotton Candy, white, and rose gold kraft cardstock, Spellbinders mini slimline dies, PinkFresh Studio Rose and Hydrangea washi tape, Hero Arts leaf cluster, Taylored Expressions sentiment on vellum (retired: Foil It - Hand Lettered Sentiments), rose gold foil, and a laminator

I just received some mini slimline dies and had to give them a test run, so I cut a large one in Cotton Candy and the next size down in white.  They were affixed to mini slimline cardbase.  Then I foiled the sentiment  which comes as toner ink on vellum, using a rose gold foil, and trimmed it to fit roughly in the center of the inner rectangle panel.  I've seen lots of people using metallic gold leaves to help bring out the gold in the washi, so I cut some from a Hero Arts die set.  And finally, I arranged a few washi tape sprigs with the gold leaves and attached them to the card, adding some sequins, 3 teensy ones in the hydrangea flowers centers at the top, and one larger one in the center of the lower rose.


This washi tape is so lovely with its gold highlights - it makes an ordinary card a little bit more special!

Enjoy your weekend, thanks for stopping by!
