    An clean, colorful, easy to make card for any number of occasions. The stamps have matching dies & I’m really loving this woodplank cover die. Use it plain white or inked for totally different look.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC960), we are visiting Daily Paintworks & their Pinterest Boards where I found THIS picture to inspire me.

    My card is pretty simple. I die cut the large wood plank panel then used brushes to add the green ink & a little of the blue-green, then used the blue green to rub directly over the top to darken all the raised areas. A smaller white panel was die cut a few times. First w/ the larger die, then a smaller one (to create the white frame) and finally an even smaller die to create the rectangle inset. I placed this in the center of the wood plank die & ran it thru the die cut machine. The branches were all colored & die cut & I used the individual wood plank set to cut the piece for the greeting before stamping on it.

    Here are the Copics I used:

    Come see how easy it is to make a pretty floral card for someone special. Great for birthdays, Mother’s Day or just to say I’m thinking of you. The flowers have matching stencils & dies so coloring & cutting them is a breeze.

    A big congrats to Kathy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS898). She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the big floral theme & most of the colors, but I rearranged them a bit, moved the greeting, used different images, dies & stencils.

    After stamping the lovely flowers, I used the 2 part stencils, the detail brushes & color fuse inks to color them in before die cutting. The white background was cut w/ a quilted stitch cover die & the greeting stamped on a rectangle of coral. I added a darker coral scalloped frame behind the white panel.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • So Loved

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    x2
    A bright, flowery card perfect for Mother’s Day, an upcoming graduate, birthday or just to say you are loved. Two pink inks were used to get this super bright bougainvillea color that jumps off the page.

    For the Inspiration Challenge, we are visiting A Beautiful Mess & their Pinterest Board where I saw THIS lovely picture. I adore the bright color so I went about trying to recreate it on my card.

    After a couple of attempts, I arrived at a very close match for the color, by using 2 of the Color Fuse inks in set #5. After die cutting the Bunch of Blooms stems, I used the detail brushes to add the ink color to them. The wood planks were die cut & just to make sure the woodgrain was raised, I ran them thru w/ the embossing mat, too. Then I used the lighter of the two inks & brushed that across the entire areas. I used the darker pink pad to rub directly over the planks & I love how it just hit the high spots giving me a two tone effect. The planks were attached to a white rectangle, then bordered w/ a scallop edge rectangle.

    I brushed the ink over the little die cut flowers before shaping them & attaching them. A little yellow stickles was added to their centers. For the greeting, I took part of the So Loved & stamped it, masking off the part I didn’t want to stamp. The die cut Loved is actually 2 word w/ shadow dies..the Love & the d from Friend. It wasn’t hard to combine the two.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
