Inkspirational - thirds!!

I felt I needed to use a few actual card supplies before I left this challenge.  Inkspirational Challenge #74 is getting a third course this time!! I guess that would be dessert!


Though the snowy background does add light, I wish it were a bit sunny today.  These SSS stitched dies cut both the inner panel and stitch inside and out.  I back this with vellum to hold it in place.  What I achieve by doing this is a postal friendly card, and when held to the light, one can see through the stitch lines... an unplanned bonus, believe me.  Must mention the Verve dies... perfection in ombre colors.

    Wow! So glad you mentioned Verve--that is one gorgeous font! Love how the dot of the I goes beyond the frame. And finally, that is one bayootiful background! Double wow!

    Fabulous card. Love the contrast between the bold and chunky die cuts and the soft, small, delicate always.
