You're the Best Secretary! #2

You're the Best Secretary!

Made another appreciation card to the previous secretary of our department in honor of the Administrative Professionals' Day. Although she moved to another department, I still miss her as she is very nice, kind and helpful.

Cardabilities #73

I adopt the sketch from Cardabilities #73 as shown above for this card. I played the itineraries from Desert Islands Crafts Challenge - DICC #52 again. This time, I picked item 4 - follow a sketch, item 8 - go dimensional and item 10 - use stripes and dots.

Close-up : Fish tail or banner with punched border and embossed center

A yellow card stock is trimmed and punched on the left and right sides with design punch border. A red card stock is trimmed to fit into the size of the trimmed yellow card stock. Before attached onto the punched card stock, it is embossed with some flower pattern. Then, the fish tail or banner is created. It is attached onto a pink card base.

Close-up : Sentiment

The sentiment is stamped on to an scallop oval. Border faux stitching is added to the scallop oval using purple gel pen. It is attached on the fish tail or banner as shown on the sketch.

Close-up : Flower and leaves

The flower and leaves are stamped onto a white card stock and colored using Copic markers. They are trimmed accordingly. The leaves are arranged and attached onto the card. The flower is attached using pop dots.

Close-up : Light purple flower gems

Some light purple flower gems are added to the upper left of the card.

Dimension : 10.16cm x 15.24cm or 4" x 6"
