I decided to take a break from Christmas cards and create something soft and pretty. The three step stamp set Penned and Painted is perfect for that feel!
The Details:
- Thick Whisper White card base cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″
- This bold black and white pattern from the Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper Pack is a wonderful compliment to the soft pretty flowers
- I used a thin slice of Basic Black card stock to add separation between the flower panel and the designer series paper
- These flowers are created with three different stamps. The first is the outline stamp which I stamped with Watermelon Wonder. The second layer is the flower filler stamp which I stamped with Flirty Flamingo, and stamped the ink off once on scrap paper before stamping on my project. This leaves a softer color. The third layer is the flower detail stamp. I stamped this layer in Flirty Flamingo as well, only I did not stamp off and so got the full color effect. The leaves follow the same concept, only this time I used only Pear Pizzazz, stamping both the outline and the detail stamps at full strength and the flower filler stamp stamped off once.
- Isn’t the font on the greeting darling? It’s from the Cottage Greetings stamp set and will be a staple in my stamp stash for years. I love the flirty script!
- Sequins hide a multitude of sins, today’s being that I smudged ink across the top of my panel while stamping!
I’m still hanging in there with this card challenge! Day 5, only 25 more to go! I had a reader ask about the challenge and realized that I hadn’t provided the details so…a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator only Facebook group I belong to has challenged its members to create and post daily. The prize at the end is a free stamp set, which is enticing in itself, but I really just want to make my stamping a priority and do a little every day, it’s great stress relief after a busy work day!
Thank you so much for stopping by, I’d love to hear from you as to what you have been stamping lately!
