Hi Crafty Doodle Friends! It's Julissa from Paper Gems by Jules again with a new simple card to share with you.
The new year is fast approaching and it is a perfect time to reflect on the years past and show gratitude for the highs and lows as they have led us to this great day! I wanted to share this card today because I love the quote by Catherine Pooler Designs in the "Grateful Heart" stamp set.
"A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles."
For this card, I started with a wood printed paper and used VersaMark to emboss this beautiful sentiment in a champagne embossing powder. After heating that and letting it settle, I moved onto stamping the largest flower on white cardstock.
I opted to use the same embossing powder for the floral stamp. I colored the flowers in shades of pink and the leaves in greens. The champagne embossing powder gives it an added element of shine.
Keeping the card simple, I trimmed the edge of the wood design paper to give it a look of a pennant. Layering a similar pink cardstock to the card base, then added a distressed denim card stock, I finally laid the wooden design paper. For added dimension, I used Scrapbook Adhesive 3-D foam squares under the flower and leaves.
I hope you enjoyed this card and are inspired to make something beautiful to share on Crafty Doodle Chick Chat & Create Facebook Page.
Until next time... Happy Crafting & Happy New Year!

DeleteSoon after Christmas, Japanese people start preparing for the year-end and New Year’s events.
ReplyDeleteCompared to Christmas, many of these events are based on Japanese tradition and are deeply related to religion.
The end-of-year party is called “bonenkai” in Japanese. “Bonen” means to forget (the worries of) the past year.
People are busy with events on New Year’s Eve.
What a wonderful tradition. Happy New Year!
