Hi
Friends!
Today
I am sharing another quick mixed media card designed using the February release
stamp set, Spring Blossoms along with the
previously released tamp set, Typewriter
Text Background from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps.
The Spring Blossoms Clear Stamp Set has
so many great sentiments as well as the beautiful tulip and daffodil images and
is part of the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps February release.
Also,
don’t forget the February stamp of the month is Hoppy Easter- it is so cute!! For every $60 purchase (not
including discounts or shipping), you can receive this stamp set free until the
end of February. Plus, Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps has free shipping and handling on your $75 order (in
the US) so this is a great deal!!
I enjoy playing along with weekly challenges
so I incorporated the Just Add Ink #395 Inspiration Challenge (inspired by the
colors with the white and black shadows), the Tic-Tac-Toe #034 Challenge (center row across- Die-Cut, Emboss, Floral), the International Art & Soul #026 “Texture” Challenge and the Word Art Wednesday #320-#321 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If you have not had a chance to visit the
above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful
inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the tulip
image from Spring Blossoms with archival black
ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool.
2).
Once the embossing has cooled, color the image with water-based markers (see
colors below in the card recipe) and fussy-cut the image.
3).
Die cut and emboss a piece of black cardstock with an elegant rectangle die, de-static
the center of the rectangle with an embossing powder tool, stamp the Typewriter
Text Background with embossing ink, apply white embossing powder and heat
set with the heat tool.
4).
Die cut a piece of white cardstock and polka dot designer paper with a stitched
rectangle die, mount the white die cut onto a piece of black cardstock, trim
and mount onto a piece of melon cardstock. Add the embossed elegant rectangle panel onto the card front.
5).
De-static a piece of white cardstock with an
embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Spring Blossoms with archival black
ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool. Once the embossing has cooled, die cut with a
stitched rectangle die and adhere to the card front with dimensional foam.
6).
Add the triple ribbon checked bow (wrap the ends behind the card front). Add the fussy-cut tulip with dimensional foam
and mount the entire card front onto the white card front.
7).
Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the flower petal and add a few pearls
to finish off the card.
