My Last GDT Post at Stämpelkällan
Good morning all. For my card today, I have used 4 different stamps from Stämpelkällan. It is my last GDT post, and for me a very special card....for my hubby's birthday.
Today I have worked directly on the card blank, giving it a fancy edge with the MS Crown punch and some DI. The sentiment (GT102) and clock background (A24) have both been stamped with black, while the butterfly (GA61) has been heat embossed with gold embossing powder then coloured with distress stains. A few gems, flowers and leaves (using the Vines die set from Whimsy Stamps), provide additional colour and dimension.
Inside the card, I have made use of another stamp (T70), which has the lovely words from John Denver's 'Annie's Song'. It is a perfect fit for the Nestibilities Labels 18 die, and just needed a bit of DI for the finishing touch.
I hope you enjoyed my card today, and I thank you for your visit and your kind comments. Have a wonderful crafty day! Take care.
