Stampin Thursday Mystery Card Nov. 18, 2021

 Every third Thursday I do a Stampin' Thursday Mystery card I really love the Mystery Stamping...putting a card together clue by clue. The end result is always such a surprise. I confess that sometimes I'm not so pleased with the way my 'mystery card' turned out but I can always take the layout and make one that is more to my taste! But I do love the adventure!!

So here is Clue 1, which tells you what supplies to gather so that you can make the card along with me.

b. 1” x 1”
c. 1” x 3 ¾”

5. Die cutting machine
6. Basic White scrap

Another Eden's Garden Card & video

I'm in love with this collection. I love that the paper has gold highlights in it. Every sheet has the gilded gold accents on one side. Here's a sampling of the paper. It shows the front and the back of each sheet of the Designer Series Paper. The two circles show the colors used - Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.



Here's the card I demonstrated on this morning's FB Live (Nov. 4, 2021) It's a funfold card so I'm showing the card front then the card unfolded! This video is also available for viewing on my YouTube Channel.
