Welcome Home Jade......

Debbie, Hubby's secretary, commissioned me to make a card for her daughter, to welcome her home from a stay in Australia. She left the design up to me. I reckoned that her returning home would be an occasion to celebrate, and what better to celebrate with than bunting?!!! The card base is an A4 and the papers are from Tilda. I cut the bunting from pink cardstock, topping each one with white cardstock. Alternate pieces were embossed with a Swiss dot embossing folder. The letters were cut from patterned paper from the Tilda pad and adhered to the pennants. They were then threaded onto pink and white baker's twine. Each of the bunting strings were adhered to the central panel of the card and a bow and small rose adhered to each end of the strings. 'JADE' was cut from more patterned paper, adhered to white cardstock letters for stability, then adhered below the bunting with foam pads. The card was finished with self-adhesive pearls coloured with Sharpie markers to match the papers. Debbie e-mailed me to tell me that Jade loved her card, and she loves bunting too!
