TARA'S WATERFALL CARD

Tara Bouldin was a guest demonstrator at the Celebrate Special Occasions Class with myself, Katie Ford and Cathy Weir. Tara wanted to do the waterfall card and made this beautiful creation that I added to. It's really neat because you pull the striped pacific point ribbon at the bottom and then each piece moves in succession like a waterfall. Tara's original card was made in kraft card stock. I added a pacific point blue background as an actual card you can open up. I want to send this to my aunt and want to write something inside. The background stamp is dotted stamped in pacific point classic ink and then dotted with crystal effects. I love that laquered look.

As you pull each flap down the sentiment from versatile verses (in the occasions mini catalog) it says "May your day be the wish come true kind." Love it. I stamped the sentiments in chocolate chip.



The windmill is an adorable stamp from the scene in a garden set also in the Occasions mini catalog. I colored them in blue and of course - added crystal effects on top so they glisten.

Do you see how each flap comes down so nicely? So that the very last sentiment is Happy Birthday! By the way...the ribbon is nicely threaded and tied through one of our SU! large eyelets that I set with my cropadile.

On the inside I have the same happy birthday sentiment stamped in pacific point blue classic ink. It is from a great birthday set called On your Birthday. There are some great sentiments in that set and a must have!



I'm going to write a nice little note to my aunt inside the card and get it sent off tomorrow just in time for her birthday. She is going to love it.
Tomorrow I will post Cathy Weir's wedding card!
