I've been wanting to try this new set I have from Our Craft Lounge, and finally had time today to do something. I just needed to find some space to do it!
I decided last Monday that I needed two additional shelves made for my office, just to give me a little more space. So I've had everything on the floor since then and left myself about 6" square working space on my desk. They arrived yesterday and wouldn't you know it one was too big, so it had to be cut down and arrived this afternoon. My office is however still in a shambles, but by the end of tomorrow it will be spick and span!
This set - Growing Gratitude - is going to become one of my favourites. I love all the little elements.
I started by stamping the images using Palette noir on Smooth white cardstock, and colouring with my Copics. Then I simply cut the images out, and using my Spellbinders Label No1 cut out the two largest labels with Inque Boutique DSP. The smaller image has been matted on to cardstock and cut out by hand. I pierced around the edge and added white gel pen for the stitiched effect.
I've made the opening to the card down the centre and included on the inside a large label die with a stamped image in the corner.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow for one of the weekend sketches. Have a great evening.
This is a beautiful card and I love the gate opening.
