Love What You Do - Another Catalogue Sneak Peak

Friends are so important in life so I just love the sentiment that is part of the "Love What You Do" stamp set- which goes  like this:

I'm lucky

to have a 

friend

like you

The sentiment was a perfect focal point in a shaker element for this card - a shaker made using glitter tulle rather than window sheet.

The base card of Mint Macaron card stock, is layered with Love What you Do DSP with an oval aperture die cut in it. This was covered on both sides with Glitter Tulle using tear and tape adhesive with Fancy Frost Sequins shaker elements in between the tulle.

The sentiment, black embossed on a separate piece of Whisper White on a stamped off Mint Macaron background, was positioned under the die cut aperture.

To provide a more distinctive delineation between the shaker and the DSP, I added a Basic Black border around the shaker element.

Before adhering the 2 layers together, some 3/8" metallic edge Berry Burst ribbon was added to the left side of the shaker element.  An embellishment was added over the ribbon.

On a separate piece of Whisper White card stock I stamped and colored a flower and 3 flower elements - then fussy cut them and adhered them to a small oval die cut.  This was added to the edge of the shaker element using dimensionals.  The ribbon bow was added to the base of the flowers.  Clear Wink of Stella was added to each of the blooms.

One advantage of using tulle instead of the traditional window sheet is that the resultant card is much thinner and lighter.
