I've had the Graphics 45 "A Ladies' Diary " papers since Christmas and am just now getting around to using them. There are so many gorgeous images in the pack, that no stamping is necessary. But choosing the embellishments proved to be a little more challenging. The lace and ribbons was from a huge stash that my mother gave me when she moved to Florida. The Memory Box die I've had for a year and finally just opened for the first time. I embossed the flourishes with Sparkle N Sprinkle's
Pink Delight and
Mediterranean. The Mediterranean I also touched up with some SNS
Seaspray glitter. The little butterfly stick pin I got at a vintage store for 50 cents! The base cardstock is Stampin Up's old Blush Blossom and Very Vanilla. I rarely make something with so many embellishments, so I know I need more practice. This is a request from a very special friend for her very special mother and I know she'll just love it.
The inside center panel has three layers because I messed up the first sentiment panel with glitter and glue, so I just glued another one on top. But wouldn't you know, somehow the ink on THAT smeared when I went to blow off the glitter from IT! I just let that one go - it's a distinctive mark of "Hand Made"!
