Dutch Girl
Most people assume I’m a Dutch girl since my last name is Dutch, but it’s actually my husband who is Dutch. I have no idea what I am… maybe English? LOL! My maiden name was Cook… any ideas?? Anyway, that is neither here nor there. I wanted to tell you about this card I made with the new Dutch Girl Collection by Cosmo Cricket. I got one sheet of each design from Eclectic Paperie. It was tough to cut into that first sheet, but now I’m on a roll! 😉 The card base is Real Red and I stamped it with the flowers from Simply Said. For some reason, red on red stamping is incredibly difficult to pick up in a photo. However, it picked up the Sakura stardust gel pen on each of the flower centers. It’s really not that pronounced in reality. I also stamped the background with a swirl stamp from The Angel Company Flourishes stamp set. I pierced along the swirls and then stitched with white gel pen. The ‘let love bloom’ sentiment is also from The Angel Company. Hope you all have a wonderful day! Stay tuned tomorrow for a celebration of my vacation in Vegas! *wink*
