Notes By Nina

Nothing is harder then saying goodbye to someone you love, I think this sentiment says so much. We have a friend who lost some one who was very dear to them recently, this was what I found worked best on her card.

I have accumulated a ton of Designer paper from dollar stores over the last few years, for the most part I flip on by them or give them away. This one, which really, I am not sure why I brought in the first place jumped out at me yesterday. I immediately had an idea in my head and it turned out better then I could ever expected.

This card is all about layers, I wanted the roses that edged the paper to be visible with each layer. They make pretty focal points and I wanted there to be a few and to flow together. I typed the sentiment out with Word, my printer was not happy when I wanted to print the sentiment but in the end I got what I needed. I finished it it off with brass brad and a pretty flower.

I used this great tutorial from Splitcoast on how to make flowers from ribbon. It was supper easy, and made me pretty happy with myself when I made it work.

Supplies: Natural Ivory and brown cardstock, Designer Paper-Unknown, Making Memories Copper Brad, Hero Arts Lace Ribbon, Microsoft Word.

Cheers,
Nina
