Hi
Stampers!
I have been busy with our end of month
billing at work but was able to find some time to stamp and de-stress :-))
I wanted to participate in the SUO #49 Special Thanks to You! Challenge at SU-O Challenges (if you have the time, check out their blog-- the Design team has done a fabulous job!!)
I wanted to create this card for my dear friend and assistant at work (I hope she does not check out my blog before I have a chance to give her this card :-)) She is on vacation this week and I miss her already in more ways than one :-)
To create this simple card:
On a piece of Whisper White, use a Sponge
Dauber with Daffodil Delight Classic Ink and in a circular motion, apply the ink
to the paper (some areas heavier than
others).
Stamp the floral images from Stippled Blossoms with
Island Indigo Classic Ink, layer onto Island Indigo cardstock and again onto
Whisper White cardstock.
Create the background layer with Summer Smooches Designer
Series Paper (DSP), Daffodil Delight cardstock embossed with the Square Lattice
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder (this piece was part of my scrap pile:-)).
Add the embossed border using the new Delicate Designs Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder (lace) , stamp the sentiment onto Whisper White Cardstock
and cut with the Bitty Banner Framelits™, add the Daffodil Delight Seam Binding
Ribbon bow and of course, a few pearls to finish off the card.
Stamp Sets: Stippled
Blossoms, Fabulous Phrases
Ink: Daffodil
Delight, Island Indigo
Paper: Whisper
White, Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, Summer Smooches DSP
Accessories: Big Shot™, Bitty Banners Framelits™, Square

Have a
great weekend and take some time for yourself- God Bless!
