Hi Friends!
Today
I am sharing an Anniversary card designed with the brand new release stamp
bundle, Happy Day Iris along with the new Echo Park
My Favorite Spring 6x6 paper pad along
with other supplies from Stamp
Simply.
If
you have not already had a chance to do so, I hope you visit the Stamp Simply blog to
see all of the inspiration from the rest of the SS Design Team as well as the
above challenge sites- gorgeous galleries
from all!
To
create this card:
Trim
a piece of the light green designer paper from the My
Favorite Spring 6x6 paper and a piece of
light purple designer paper from the Craft
Consortium Ink Drops- Vivid 6x6 paper pad (this was a scrap from my last Iris
project) to approx. 2 ½” x 4” each.
Emboss
a piece of white cardstock approx. 4” x 5 ½” with the Brickwork embossing
folder.
Add the
piece of light green My
Favorite Spring designer paper to the bottom of the embossed brick background
panel.
Die
cut the lace trim from white cardstock using the Tim
Holtz Crochet Die and layer over the top edge of the light green strip.
Layer
the light purple Craft
Consortium Ink Drops- Vivid 6x6 designer paper over
the top of crochet die cut.
Adhere
the entire layered background panel to a piece of 4 ⅛” x 5 ¼” black cardstock.
Add a
strip of the light purple seam binding from the Blues
Purples Seam Binding Bundle over the top edge
of the white crochet die cut, wrapping the ends behind the panel. Mount the panel onto a white card base.
De-static
a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the iris image
from the Happy Day
Iris Bundle with archival black ink onto white cardstock, apply
clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Once
the embossing has cooled, watercolor the image with water-based markers and die
cut with the coordinating
Happy Day Iris die (also die cut another iris from
plain white cardstock to adhere behind the colored image).
Die
cut a piece of white cardstock with an elegant
oval die , de-static with an embossing powder tool, stamp the
sentiment from the Happy Day
Iris Bundle with archival black ink onto white cardstock, apply
clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Layer
the die cut oval sentiment directly onto the card front.
Adhere
the colored/die cut iris onto the card front with dimensional foam.
Repeat
the embossing process noted above for the word “Anniversary”, die cut with a rectangle
die, mount onto black cardstock and trim close to the edge.
Mount
the rectangle die cut sentiment to the card front using dimensional foam.
Adhere
the bow created from the same light purple seam binding (from the Blues
Purples Seam Binding Bundle ) and add
a few light
green rhinestones.
To
finish off the card, use a clear
glitter marker to add shimmer to the iris petals.
