Wrinkle free...

Happy weekend everyone!  For all of those of you in the colder climates....hope you are staying warm.  For the rest of you....I'm jealous!!!   I wonder how many more days until spring?  Sure hope it comes early!


Today's card uses a newly acquired image from Lacy Sunshine (Mayde Pressing Matters) and some new sparkly ribbons from Crafty Ribbons.  Notice the nice spring colours....even if the subject is ironing?  But I know someone who actually likes to iron, and this card is for her.  Not my favourite pastime, but then.....she isn't into crafting.

Once again I've coloured the image with copics, then cut it out with a Spellbinders die and edged with silver metallic ink.  For the card itself, I've used a stencil and embossing paste to make the pretty pattern, then added shading with distress inks.  The heart embellishment is cut from gold glitter paper and then gold peel-offs provide the sentiment.  If you look closely, you can even see the polka dots peeking through from the original DP.

Hope to get some ironing (ha ha), I mean crafting in today.  Definitely not going outside, where it is so cold and windy.  The sun may be shining, but it doesn't fool me...that wind will cut right through you!  Take care and stay warm.
