I have been having a lot of fun with my new stamps from Layers of Color - it is like being let loose in a Candy Store...I love trying the different sets together.
where sentiments were to be the main focus. I had this sentiment left after scrapbooking a page I hope to upload later today and could not resist using it. Dear friends of our family have it on their fridge and it says so much to me as a parent!
I have used the Paisley Embossing Folder and sponged around the edges. The sentiment , which is computer generated (don't you just love this font - Telegraph, from memory!) and layered on True Thyme CS. I then cut around images from Old World Flourish, Beloved Wings and Royal Birds from Layers of Color, sponging them and adding touches of colour with chalks. The top image and the bird have been popped up on dimensionals. For the final touch I lightly added clear Kindy Glitz to the images for some shimmer. I am amazed how much I use Kindy Glitz, as I have never really been a 'bling' person...but oh how things can change as we evolve!!
I am happy with the way this card turned out, is was reasonably quick to make. Thank you for your comments, you make my day! There is more of me on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/

This card is absolutely gorgeous! I love the quote and embellishments. And the embossed paper is awesome (I just ordered this embossing folder, so I'm very excited to see how it looks on a project). Thanks for playing in 2RB's challenge.
