It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. Our challenge this time is:
Celebrations with the optional twist of one layer cards.
Our sponsor this time is CAS-ual Fridays, and they were kind enough to provide stamps to some of us for our inspiration cards. I used a fun new set called Mazel Tov, and it was the perfect set for the card I made for my niece on the occasion of her Bat Mitzvah last month.
I actually cut apart her invitation, and used it as part of the focal point for my card. The white and gold portion is from her invitation, and I heat embossed in the sentiment Mazel Tov (means congratulations) in gold, and then fussy cut it and adhered it with foam tape. She was thrilled that I used her invitation as part of her card.
This challenge will run for two weeks. I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.
Thanks for Visiting
oh this is such a cool personalised card-you should add this to Less is More-the challenge is to 'personalise' a card and I can't think of any better way to do this-including her invitation in your card must have meant so much to her. I feel touched by it and I don't know her!! And how perfect the sentiment fits in gold embossing-a try wonder Joyce x
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and like this it is such a personal card! The gold embossing looks great on the piece of the invitation! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love the mix of pale pink, gold and white. Your niece must have been thrilled to spy her invitation coming back to her in a new, sweet way. Is this a new set? It's perfect for the cards I make for my synagogue. I count on you to keep me in the loop on the great new products!
