Today, I am participating in a blog hop with my awesome team. Amy Koenders is our hostess.
For this card, I chose to use the Wonderful Romance stamp set, found in the SU! Occasions Catalog. And, don’t forget to look at the Floral Romance Specialty DSP…It’s a beautiful set of papers. (So pretty, that I made a coordinating envelope with it) These items can be found in my online store.
Recipe-
First, I took a piece of Fresh Fig cardstock and scored it at 4 1/4 inches to make my card base. Next, I took a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock and embossed it with the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Then, I adhered it to the card base with Tape and Tear Adhesive.
Second, I stamped the floral images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Vellum cardstock. Next, I cut out the dried pieces with my Paper Snips. (Coordinating dies were sold, but no longer available due to manufacturer’s defect) Then, I watercolored the back of the pieces with a blender pen and ink pads. (Fresh Fig, Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Pear Pizzazz) Afterwards, I adhered the pieces to the front of the card with Mini Glue Dots.
Third, I stamped the sentiment with Fresh Fig ink onto Sahara Sand cardstock and cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies. Next, I adhered this to the lower right corner of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Fourth, I randomly placed pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls set around the card. Next, I added three Frosted Flower Embellishments to the stamped flowers.
Finally, I stamped a “Congratulations” sentiment from the Another Wonderful Year stamp set with Fresh Fig ink onto a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock. Next I adhered the layer to the inside of the card using SNAIL adhesive. Then, I added a floral leaf besides the sentiment and adhered with Mini Glue Dots.
