Decorative Accents

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Some of you may be enjoying one extra day with today being President's Day. I wonder how often we have Friday the 13th, Valentine's Day, and President's Day all in the same weekend!

I didn't get to play this weekend, but I do have the card that I made last week to share with you. This is the other new Bigz Decorative Accents die for the Big Shot.

It's almost too big, but I was determined to use it on a card, so I offset it a bit and trimmed it to fit. I layered the Wide Oval Punch and the Large Oval Punch for the sentiment. The words "So Kind" are from the Priceless set. This is still one of my favorite sets. You can see it on page 121 of the catalog. The cardstock colors are Pretty in Pink and Rose Red. The printed paper is from the Designer Series Paper Raspberry Tart. And you know me, no card is complete without ribbon!

As I looked at my card when I thought I was finished, I decided it needed something else, it was just a little too plain. I started looking through all of my embellishments, and it came to me. I haven't used my Pretties Kit in a while. Voila! The addition of the small half pearls was perfect!

Remember when I told you that Makayla made a card too, while I was working the other day. Well, I got her permission to share that card with you. She got out my display boards, and picked a card to "copy". She has her own supplies, and picked her paper and cut it with scissors. I did help her straighten a couple of the cuts. She did all of the stamping and assembly by herself. Here is her card, and the one she used to copy.

I hope you enjoyed today's project. Thank you so much for visiting!
