I was inspired to make this card by the challenge over at Colour Create, and the colours to be used were Lime, Aqua and White. I was getting the urge to make something cute again, as I haven’t done cute for a while, and I’m not ashamed to say that I do like ‘cute’, and I especially love the Molly Bloom range of stamps, so here we go.
I have just treated myself to a Grand Calibur and was itching to try some of the Grand Nesties, so I used the largest out of the Labels 11 set to make a card blank (I had to use an A3 sheet of card for this), and I turned it into an easel shape. Layered the base up with alternative American Crafts card in Aqua and white, finally running the last layer through an embossing folder and sanding. The AC card is really good because it does have a colour core, and is a much more reasonable price alternative to Coredinations. I tied some white grosgrain ribbon round the middle of this layer followed by a piece of lime green organza ribbon on top. With love was stamped and mounted onto some lime green AC card and attached using 3d foam. I popped a white flower and some hat pins onto the bow. The top of the the easel card was made by cutting a frame with the Nesties, and running it through the embossing folder and sanding, this was mounted using 3d foam. I stamped the table, cakes and Molly onto some white card and coloured with Promarkers. The background was also done with Promarkers highligts were added on the images with a white pen. Sitting Molly was stamped twice, once onto white card and coloured,then once onto some striped paper. The tunic part of this was then cut out and glued to the 1st image. The banner was stamped twice, coloured with Promarkers and attached to the top. I really enjoyed making this card, the colours are a lovely combination.
