Falling In Love

Hello, Crafters.

WAHOO! I've just hit 15,009 subscribers on YouTube! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! To say I'm thrilled is a bit of an understatement!

I appreciate YouTube isn't everyone's cup of tea, which makes this number even more fantastic. If you're a YouTuber, thanks a million!

Have you seen this fabulous ribbon in the new Spring catalogue? 

When I first saw it, I had to do a double-take because I hadn't seen it available in either catalogue. 

Then I realised it was the new Very Vanilla 1/4" Satin Ribbon (page 51 Spring Catalogue) on top of the new Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim (page 179 Annual Catalogue). 

Don't you think it looks absolutely gorgeous like this? This is what inspired today's card. 

It was also a great opportunity to use the same Lace Doilies idea I used on the top of the Pack Flat Box I featured in last Sunday's video.

I started today's card with a base of Sahara Sand Cardstock (CS), a layer of Very Vanilla CS and a top layer of one of the Sahara Sand designs in the Falling In Love Designer Series Paper (DSP). 

Using Tombow, I adhered the DSP to the Very Vanilla layer. 

I took a length of each ribbon and adhered together with a little bit of SNAIL at intervals along the back of the satin ribbon. 

I adhered at the back of the card, just under halfway down. Using Tombow, I adhered this layer to the card base. 

Using the Botanical Builder Framelits, I die cut a flower and a flower centre in Very Vanilla CS and adhered the two together.

I adhered the doily in position, and then adhered the flower in the centre. 

I finished my flower off by adhering a Falling In Love Embellishment in the centre.

Using Sahara Sand Ink, I stamped the sentiment on a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock and then quickly dipped it into my box of Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it. 

I adhered it to my card front using Dimensionals.

I added a layer of Very Vanilla CS insde and stamped a sentiment and flower from the Falling for You Stamp set using Sahara Sand Ink. 

The final step was to add some Rhinestones to the front sentiment.

I think this is going to be my favourite Suite! Until tomorrow, happy crafting.
