Victorian Fan Card

Today I have for you a Victorian fan card using the beautiful Basic Grey Cappella paper.  This was created by cutting two pieces of Sahara Sand paper and one sheet of Cappella using the Sizzix ornate fan die.  I placed the top piece of my card through the Big Shot using the Cuttlebug Textile Embossing Folder then sponged with Sahara Sand.  I used Spellbinders Tag Shape 3 for my tag and stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso then embossed using clear embossing powder.  I added a triple loop bow and a Prima flower.  Simple and elegant!

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Just Believe
Paper:  Sahara Sand, Basic Grey Cappella Designer Paper, Naturals Ivory
Ink:  Early Espresso, Sahara Sand
Accessories:  5/8" Victoria Crochet Ribbon, Prima Flower, Spellbinders Tag Shape 3, Sizzix Ornate Fan Die, Cuttlebug Textile Embossing Folder, Bow-Easy
Techniques:  Embossing, Sponging
