My Little Paper World

Super quick post today... Just wanted to share this framed gift I made for my sister's friend. I printed the details on some paper and used Kaisercrafts Butterflies die. I then added some sequins.  Love making personalised gifts. :) Thanks for stopping by. Samantha

I have to say that being on Paper Flourish Kaisercraft Card Kit Design Team has so far been an amazing experience...even if its only been a month!!! Aside from the lovely Kaiser products I get to play with its been a huge learning experience. This card is one example of this. I've never worked from a kit before, I've always just bought paper that I love and mixed it with other brands of paper I love (Shhhh....Its resulted in the hoarding of quite a lot of miscellaneous pattern paper over the years!) So....needless to say when I received my June Kit I immediately went for the paper I LOVED - the kraft card was first, pinks were next, followed by anything neutral.

This video by Kristina Werner is an excellent video showing you the technique involved. Simple really....mask it off and start blending till your happy :) I added 'droplets' of Dylusions spray - White Linen and gold and silver leaf to the stars and moon to give them an awesome shine. The photos don't show it - but they're very bright :) I plan on making a whole bunch of cards using this stamp set, as you'll see in the next photo I went a little over...

Over the weekend I attended a first birthday party. Here is the card I made for him! I love this mama elephant stamp set - such a beautiful sentiment.
