Little Tangles Challenge #64 - Hello

Good morning! Excited to be joining the Little Tangles Design Team for 2016 - and it's time for our first challenge of the year! The challenge is appropriately, hellos! Here is my card:

I used the darling Life is Beautiful stamp set, and Tiny Triangles Dies for my card, only used it with some embossing pads instead of cutting all the way through the cardstock - a great way to create a soft background and stretch your dies!

I stamped the sweet girl and colored her out, then fussy cut out - then heat embossed the sentiment on a hand trimmed black cardstock banner. I machine stitched the green panel to some vellum trimmed slightly smaller than my card base, then used foam adhesive behind the green to attach to the cardbase. That way the vellum is floating in all it's lovely softeness around the edges of the card! I then attached the girl and sentiment also with foam adhesive. Added part of a doily on the side, a bit of washi tape, some jute twine, and an enamel dot to finish off.

Below are links to most of what I used on these cards. Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you will join in with the challenge and play along!
