Supplies

Stamps: Little Pieces, It’s Your Birthday, French Script

Ink: Close to Cocoa, Rose Red

Cardstock: Whisper White

Designer Paper: Classic K Pink and Blue Paisley and K McKenna Pink Circle and Diamonds Flat Paper (K and Company)

Accessories: Border Trim Rubon (Basic Grey) Sponge, String, Beads, Fishing Line, Flower Jewels (Heidi Swapp) Rhinestones (Hero Arts) Paper Piercing Tool, Close To Cocoa Marker, White Organdy Ribbon, Brown Gingham (May Arts)

How I did it! :)

I made a Whisper White card to 4 3/4″ square. I cut the pink paper to 4 1/2″ square and lightly stamped the French Script in Close to Cocoa on it. I then cut a scrap piece of paper to 2 1/4″ square. Traced that on the blue paisley paper and cut it out using the Friskars cutter orange blade, for the frame. I traced that same square on the pink and white paper for the “window”. I then sponged all the edges with the cocoa ink, adhered the frame to the pink paper, tied the ribbon around the pink paper, then attached it to the main card. I then paper pierced around the frame, and added the jewel flowers. Added the rubon border, tied on the HB, and I think that’s it! lol!

For the beaded strands…First I stamped the little pieces, cut them out and sponged the edged. I tied the ends of 3 pieces of fishing line and added the beads on. adding the little pieces in by taping them on. When I was done I scotch taped the strands onto the card! Just make another frame to adhere to the inside of the card to cover your tape and whalla! :D

Thank you SO MUCH for your votes!!! Thanks for stopping by!!! :) HUGS!!!
