I LOVE this card – I demoed it at my Autumn/Winter catalogue
launch and will be demoing it at parties for anyone who couldn’t make it to the
launch, simply because it’s so fab.
It wasn’t my idea of course – I couldn’t come up with
anything this cool. I found it somewhere on the web and traced it back to the
blog of Melissa Stout, who rather handily has posted a video tutorial here.
For the swirly “sweet”,
Melissa used a set called Sweets for the Sweet, a set we won’t have until 1st
October, so I used Trendy Trees (which is retiring) instead.
You can change it up however you liked – I made one using
Festival of Prints paper stack, and another using Snow Festival DSP. I used
green cardstock to create my scalloped strips, while Melissa used Whisper White.
My downline and friend, Donna, used new Champagne Glimmer Paper on her version
for a really blingy touch!

I love this one too and I am definitely going to do a variation of this theme.
