Je t'aime card (DT member Sharon Jeffs)

by Sharon Jeffs



I have a special affinity to the Kaisercraft range of products.   After all its an Aussie just like like I am! Plus, they have some absolutely beautiful ranges to play with that suit all different preferences.  I chose to create my card using the ‘Sweet Nothings’ range.  I used their 6 by 6 paper pad so that I could add as much detail to my card as possible.

I began with a 6 inch square base is a kind of sage color green then added a trimmed piece from the ‘Sweet nothings’ range to it. The centre image is from the Frantic Stamper range of stamps and is called "Magnolia". (You can find it here.)I love this stamp a lot because it can be used in so many different ways like cutting out the centre section and using only that.  I also cut a scalloped circle to matt it from the same paper range.

To assemble my card, I first inked all the edges with a Brown Sepia color ink. I added a strip of hessian ribbon down the centre for a bit of a vintage feel and a few Prima rosettes to add that extra little bit.  Finally I stamped a word stamp (also from the Frantic Stamper range) and attached that to the bottom right of my card.
