Well done princess

This week was exam results for my daughters AS levels and I am pleased to say she deserved the card I made for her!

We are definitely proud parents!

And it uses the piece of that layered stencil background that I made and only used the central piece from in yesterdays blog.

Along with an over the top wreath and some letter die cuts and stamps … and a stamp from the Treat Yourself set!

After die cutting the centre from the background and making the card I shared yesterday I was left with the 6×6 background missing the centre so I layered it up onto the Soft Sea Foam card with a little white trim around the edge. Love how this looks. But then couldn’t work out what to do … I made a frame for the ‘hole’ using a piece of rose gold speciality paper I’ve had for a long time.

Then I decided to make a wreath.

I used both the Wreath builder dies and some leaf dies I had cut from the zero waste leaf die that I had bought and used bits of the leaves chopped up in the background along with some cut from scraps using both forever flourishing dies and the wreath builder dies to add variation in colour.

The flowers were also from the Wreath builder dies. I went a bit overboard with the leaves and the flowers to really fluff out the wreath and the raised that onto foam so it stood a little higher than the frame.

I then die cut letters out of the inked cardstock so they had a colour variation and stamped both the sentiment stamp and the letters for her name using the Tranquil Tide and added those. Used a scrap of the rose gold to die cut some circles for embellishment and then mounted the panel onto a 7×7 card blank.

Love the stencilled background so much (see yesterdays post for all the reasons) and although admittedly this isn’t the best wreath I’ve put together I still love it!

And once again well done to our princess on her results … onto A Levels we go … and then all the joy of uni applications etc! My baby girl is all grown up!

Happy crafting!
