The Bright & Amazing Congratulations one...

Thought I'd give you a day off from reading and seeing lots! And me a few days off from the typing, inserting and linking lots!!

So I bring you probably the brightest card I have ever shared...
Lemon Lime Twist combined with the new 2018-2020 In Color, Pineapple Punch...

To send neon Amazing Congratulations sentiments to another teenager celebrating their GCSE results...
Now which do you prefer? Lightbox or Birdhouse prop!!?
And click here for an earlier... slightly more subtle... version of the card...

Amazing Congratulations CAS Card Trio...

Sorry for the very quick post yesterday... but it was a case of needs must last night!

Told you I had made a few Amazing Congratulations cards... so here are 3 slightly different designs for you....

First up is the simplest stamped version... outline greeting stamped in Memento Black... and filled in using Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana... and a few little "stars" stamped around in Pool Party to soften... Finished off with the Twinkle Adhesive Backed Sequins...
Second up is the Silver embossed one I shared yesterday... and look closely as there are 2 versions of this one! The one pre Twinkle Adhesive Backed Sequins...
And the one after... One of those "little thing huge difference" moments...
And thirdly (and lastly)... the gold embossed "wonky" one... Yes... I stamped the extra wording wonky!! How annoying!!! So I added 4 rounds of Gold Metallic Thread to take the "focus" away... along with a few gold Metallic Pearls... which worked to a point...
So then I went for sticking it down at an angle... which works a treat! There is always a way round "the oopsies" when you think creatively... well that's my excuse...
The card is a standard A6 card in Bermuda Bay with a 9.5 x 13.8cm Whisper White mat (aka US A2 card with 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" mat)

And ... a few more results have since come in... so now I am off to make some more... think I may try out a different colour combination this time! I can feel something REALLY bright coming along...

Simple for Saturday... Amazing Congratulations...

So it has been a week of quickly making and posting lots of lovely but simple cards out to young persons as they have received their A Level and GCSE results...  as this year I have many young people to be proud of!

But I will have to be more organised next year!
So a very quick share today as it is late in the evening and I have just realised that I hadn't written up a post!
But I will be back shortly...with more details... but in the meantime the Amazing Congratulations set was my saviour! Along with a bit of silver embossing powder... and Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay inks...
Finished off with the fabulous Twinkle Adhesive Backed Sequins (stars)... Don't miss these!!! Can't tell you how much these little starry sequins finished this card off...
