I recently came across a technique on Rhonna Farrer's blog that I was totally taken with. It involves melting polyester satin ribbon until it crinkles up to resemble flower petals. It was a bit time consuming, but the results are gorgeous. (I'm also hoping it will go much faster the second time around.)
Here are my results:
and here are the original instructions from Rhonna's blog.
The other thing I had to share was another card using Kathy Martin's Digital Doodles stamp. What's unusual about this card is that I didn't create it -- my 11-year old daughter, Charlotte, did.
After twisting her arm to get her to write thank-you notes for her birthday gifts, I turned her loose in my scraproom. (I gave her some pre-printed cards, but she wanted to make her own.) I came upstairs later to find this:
She had found a print-out that I had used to paper piece the card I made in the previous post, and used it to create her own card. Further proof of how Kathy's adorable designs appeal to everyone!
