Good Sunday morning! I hope you're not snowed in or if you are, I hope you get to do some crafting at least! Here is my favourite card that I made for today's shows. The moment that I laid eyes on Labels 29, I thought "book" so it just had to be made! I started with a piece of taupe card from the neutral card pack and stamped around the edges with the swirls from the Justrite Butterfly Dreams set. I used a clear perfect medium pad to stamp with and then dusted it with gold mica powder, giving a soft shimmer to it. I stamped the large Labels 29 matching stamp from the Good Friends set. I coloured it with Distress markers and cut it out with the matching die. I mounted it on the left side of my card with some mounting foam. Next I started work on my "book" by cutting the largest size of the Labels 29 die set in brown card. I moved down a die size and cut several pieces of vellum and several pieces of my old thrift store dictionary. I alternated layers of the vellum and dictionary and folded them in half to create the pages of my book. I stamped my sentiment on the top piece of vellum. I inked the edges of the book pages with a bit of antique linen to give them an aged look. I glued a piece of cream ribbon in place in the middle of the book to look like a bookmark. I curled the pages of the book to give them a bit of dimension too. I attached the book at an angle across my card. Using the Bitty blossoms dies, I made an assortment of flowers, one I inked the entire flower with Tattered Rose and the remaining flowers, I merely inked the edges. I cut several of the leaves and inked them with Forest Moss. To add some interest, I cut several of the swirl from the Heartfelt Creations Bella Rose die set. I used the swirls around the flowers and the book edge. I matted the entire card in soft gold card to finish it off. Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size.

Lovely card. Really enjoyed watching the Tool Shed today and got some good ideas and inspiration.
It is caused by the hormonal problems, weight gain, and many other
factors. A cellulite reduction treatment using a soft bristled body brush

The device utilizes a cutting-edge laser fiber that delivers laser energy to melt the fat deposits,
while also thermally subscising the tissue bands.
