Growing Green Workshop Card

Thought I would share the card we made at the workshop I had earlier in the month.

This is just a simple stepped up version showing that just adding layers, brads and crystal effects to the rose for dew drops (you can't really see them in the photo) can make even more of an impact.

Stamps: SU Growing Green, Thank You Kindly

Ink: SU StazOn, blushing bride, early espresso

Paper: SU very vanilla, crumb cake, early espresso, woodland walk dp

Ribbon: SU 1/8" early espresso taffeta

Brads: SU early espresso

Misc: SU dimensionals, Crystal effects, blender pens

Bliss Step-it-Up Cards

I saw this card a while back on Mary's blog and wanted to re-make it. I thought I would start really basic and then show you how changing one or two things can really make it pop!

This is the most basic version. The bliss stamp is stamped in crumb cake on crumb cake dp using my stamp-a-ma-jig to line it up.

This version adds the extra detail of an extra layer of early espresso dp and the button/threadcombo tied around the ribbon rather than just applied on top.

Stepped up again, this version adds a vanilla layer and swaps the button and thread for a brad and bow.

This final version, swaps the espresso satin ribbon for vanilla and adds an extra layer of espresso taffeta ribbon.

I think the third version is actually my favourite, but it just shows how much you can change a card by changing very few details.

Also note that for my bows, I again used Mary's tutorial here.
