Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s weekend been so far? I had to work yesterday, which was supposed to be a partial day ended up being all day. So much for people having to stay home. It was just a crazy busy day. I’m home today and hoping to finish up some of my spring cleaning.
Today’s card can be used for a lot of different occasions. I left the sentiment pretty general so I can use it for whatever I need. Here’s today’s card.
My design today is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #429. Here is their sketch.
My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #587. Here is their color pallet.
I started by adhering a panel of the Neutrals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base using Snail. Using my Stitched Shapes Dies, I cut 3 circles, one in Mint Macaron, one in Rococo Rose and one in Smoky Slate. I embossed the circles using my Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the circles to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue overlapping the DSP halfway.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the large floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink. I colored the image in using my Mint Macaron and Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the matching Cherry Blossoms Dies. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the floral image to the card front on top of the circles.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Honey Bee Cling Stamp Set in Smoky Slate Ink to the left of the artwork. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Honey Bee stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the flower, leaves and flower bud images from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the panel. I colored the images in using my Mint Macaron and Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Rococo Rose mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the flower, leaves and flower bud images from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Mint Macaron and Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Neutrals 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
