All in the Family

This was a quick card for my mum, I can't believe how well it turned out! Just goes to show a great card doesn't require hours of effort (nothing wrong with those either!) I've used 'All in the family' set to create my two beautiful daughters-thought I'd try without the Stamp-a-ma-jig , then re-stamp if it didn't look any good-but I was happy with first attempt so left it at that! I've paper pieced the girls dresses by stamping image onto patterned paper, then cutting out and attaching!
Here's the rest of the recipe!
* STAMPS: All in the Family, All Year Cheer II
* CARD STOCK: Orchid Opulence, Regal Rose, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, So Saffron
* INK: Basic Black
* ACCESSORIES: Stampin' Up!Petals & Paisley Designer Series Paper (so glad this made a re-apperance in new catalogue!) Blender Pen, Stampin' Up! Pastels, 1- 1/4 inch circle punch, 1 inch circle punch, corner rounder.
To be a bit different I made the spine of the card down the left hand side instead of along the top, which I usually do with horizontal cards. Its a bit uncanny to see that the stamped images of my girls look so much like them! 'All in the family' is going to be such a versatile and effective set-can't wait to purchase the 2 co-ordinating sets! I will have to add them to my ever growing wish list!
