A Friendly Hello!

Hi everyone and happy Sunday!




I've used shimmer paper this time around on my card:  a nice light/lime green, and a dark green for my tag.

I used a few different dies to make my card today:

The Paper Bow - Anna Griffin
The Ivory rectangle - Frantic Stamper
The Tag - Spellbinders

The paper:
Lime Green and Dark Green - Stardream paper by Neenah (You can find it at Kelly Paper or online at
     The PaperMillStore.com
     (Note: I have to say that if you love paper like I do, a visit online to the paper mill store will
     have your jaw dropping at the variety!  You can shop for paper by color (of course) or you can
     shop by company (of course) BUT have you ever been able to shop for paper by paper mill? It
     will blow your mind.)
The silver foil patterned cardstock - Its called silver linen paper, comes in 12 x 12 only, is a regular
     cardstock, and you can find it at Paperwishes.com

Directions:
I started out with an ivory card base.  I embossed a lime shimmer paper (Sizzix) measuring 5 1/4 x 4 inches.  I attached his to some silver linen paper and cut a 1/8 inch border with my Perfect Layers Rulers (see under New Tools).  I attached to my card base.
I cut out my ivory rectangle with fancy edge and embossed writing and music on it with silver embossing powder.  I layered this onto silver linen paper and made the same 1/8 inch border.  I attached the ivory rectangle to the silver linen with mounting tape, then attached the two layers to my card.

I added the bow, a paper flower 
 
and my tag. (The HELLO coms from Dazzles at Paper Wishes)

and finished off with some large crystals.

Thanks for stopping by!
