Hi Everyone my DT make today is for
This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme from Emma
On one of the hottest days of the year, 34C 93f, I decided to go into my North facing craft room, and craft in the shade, I should have just left things as they were and just read.
However, I made 4 cards, 2 went into the bin, #3 I spoiled by smudging my hand over the ink, grrr, so my card today is my offering, but under the circumstances....
Anyhow, I shaded DO's over a piece of card, then using a leaf stencil I went over it with an alcohol wipe. Next I stamped the leaves around the left and top and stamped a sentiment into the space left. Even that I got wrong! I think I should have used the colour of the leaves, oh! well. I then clear embossed the sentiment.
Next I placed the stamped piece onto a matching piece of paper and then added a pink layer with leaf shapes. The paper layers were edged with DI's in darker colours. I then added tiny pink gems. It turned out OKish, I think in the end.
Even then, the photo misshaped the card, taken twice, then straightening, it has made the sentiment look wonky! Told you I should have read instead.

What a beautiful card, Faith. I love the color combination. Hugs, my friend.
Sounds like your bin gets as much action as mine, had a day like that Tuesday! But this one turned out beautifully for this months theme.
