Faux Patina Page Club Project

Good morning!  I hope that everyone had a lovely Mother's Day! 

Splitcoaststampers had a great tutorial for Faux Patina a few weeks ago and so I CASED the gallery.  There was a clever card similar to this page and I thought that it would convert nicely to a page.  If you do not typically scrap 6x6 pages this would make a lovely focal point on a larger page.  For those of you who do not scrap, fold this page in half to make a a card that fits in a regular envelope.

Posy Punch Thanks

If it is a set that you can punch out, I will almost always love it.  When I saw Posy Punch, I knew it was going to be mine.

I had some friends over to stamp on Saturday and I wanted to feature some of the newer In Colors.  It is a little busier than some of my cards, but my husband OK'd it.  (haha)

In case you were curious:

Stamps:  Baroque Motifs, Posy Punch, Thank You Kindly (sentiment)

Ink: Pool Party, Island Indigo, Calypso Coral

Paper:  Pool Party (4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2), Island Indigo (3 1/2 x 4 1/2), Whisper White (3 1/4 x 4 1/4 plus scraps for flower and center), Lucky Limeade

Punches: 3/4" circle, Fancy Flower

Other: Swirls Scribbles sizzlet, snail, dimensionals, 2 Way Glue pen

Bonus Tip:  Replace your paper trimmer blades on a regular basis.  Ragged edges detract from an otherwise pretty card.  (I just did mine, and it hadn't been done in a while...too long.  I figured I'd remind you, in case you were forgetful, like me.)

Hope you are having a good day,

Julie
