No words. Just Love.

It's time for a new challenge with us on the
As always, the challenge is Anything Goes.

~~~*~~~*~~~

The sponsor for this challenge is:
Stampers Delights

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Mime (without flowers) digital stamp from the Paris Cafe Digi Bundle from Stampers Delights, the generous sponsor for this challenge, to make card filled with love, flowers and fancy folds.



It's funny how a design comes to mind when you see an image and I could not stop thinking about the fancy folds of a centre step card, so I started by opening a cut file in Silhouette Studio.  I sized the image to fit on the front panel, added the sentiment (font details below), printed on X-Press It blending card, heat set, coloured with Copic markers and trimmed to size.  It sure takes a lot of markers to colour an image that is mainly white, black and red!

* I have never coloured a mime image before, so I did a little homework by looking in Pinterest.  The images I found were in endless combinations of white, black and red but along the way I saw THIS card.  Although I did not use the colour combination or design for inspiration, I thought the sentiment was perfect for these "troubling Covid-19 virus pandemic times", so I created one using a font from my electronic stash. *

I cut the card base and matting layers using my Silhouette Cameo, adhering them all in place using liquid adhesive.  I punched lots of different flowers, curled the petals and layered them together with liquid adhesive and finished each one off with a sparkling black rhinestone.

The card is 5 1/2" square when folded flat but has
lots of lovely dimension when open and standing on display.




These fancy folds look great, even from the side.
