I made a congratulations card with one of the greetings from my favourite set Friendly Expressions.
Nothing complicated or fancy. I simply stamped the greeting in memento black ink on an angle and then cut two panels from the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Paper and added them above and below the greeting.
The only tricky part was sticking down all the tiny little laser cuts. I did try the adhesive sheets but they just created a sticky mess in between all the die cuts so that one made it all the way to the bin.
I tried again using tombow and the larger thicker pieces which worked fine until I noticed in this photo that some of the little leaves were standing proud and messing up my shot!
Too alte to re-shoot as I am scheduling my posts as I am currently on the Alaskan Cruise.
I am sure you will forgive me this once 🙂
This card could be used for a variety of events and you could personalise the event on the greeting inside the card.
