I love this color combo, and because Father's Day is coming up, I thought it would be a good time to make a sweet card for my sweet hubby. He IS a good one!!! I started by cutting the TAGGED RECTANGLE DIE from white as a nice focal point for my sentiment from the SPARKLY DREAMS stamp set. The shape of the tag kind of resembles the jars in the picture! Because I wanted to keep it pretty simple, I added the strip across the lower half of the card and tied some fun SEAM BINDING RIBBON across it in a beautiful bow. I added several stars from the STARRY DIE and blinged them up a bit with some adhesive rhinestones.
Next up on your hop lineup is TERESA!!!!! Go take a look at what she's sharing today, you know it will be beautiful!!!!
