A card for no reason....

It has been a LONG time since I sat down and made a card for no reason.  Nothing due, no deadline, just a card!  This last weekend I was lucky enough to host a craft weekend with Amy Kolling and we had 15 ladies come down from all over the US and even 2 from Canada!  It was a great time and they defiantly sparked my craft mojo!  I was lucky enough to borrow these Birch Press cover plates from my sweet friend, Tracy, and I had to cut out several sets.  The first set I cut out did cut out all the way and it landed in the trash pile....but then I looked closer and had to make this....

The top 2 cuts are white yardstick, then some Aqua Mist and the card base is Soft Stone, all from PTI.

I used this sentiment from Simon Says and cut it out with some foam tape too, for dimension.

The detail in these dies and how they looked stacked up, is amazing!

A big thank you to Tracey, for letting me use these plates....now I need to add them to my Christmas list! :)

Thanks so much for stopping in today!  Hope you have a great weekend!

  10. Oh my good golly Miss Laurie, this is way fabulous! Such a cool look. And love that it was almost trashed. 1st layer anyway, and then it became this work of joy. Speaking of joy, the weekend sounds like so much crafting fun. How blessed to watch you work!
