Cheery Chat

I apologize for not remembering the name of the large floral embellishment, but I do know that it is no longer available for purchase. So, use whatever is in your embellishment pile. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Cheery Chat

Paper:

   Rich Razzleberry A-2

   Blushing Bride 5 x 4-1/8

   Dainty Flowers DSP 4-7/8 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Rich Razzleberry

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Stamp-a-ma-jig/MISTI 

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Floral Rhinestone Embellishment

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I cut the wreath from the Dainty Flowers DSP.

Since my stamp set is set in wood, I then used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the sentiment in the center of the wreath. As you can see, the sentiment barely fit in the wreath, so exact placement was a necessity. 

Next, I attached the Dainty Flowers DSP panel onto a Blushing Bride matte and then onto the Rich Razzleberry card front.

Lastly, I added an embellishment at the foot of my sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Figure-Outable

There are times when I finish a card and wonder: Did I add too many elements to the card front? Did I not add enough bling? Is the card too busy, boring, or just plain? What do you do? 

Stamps:

   Lighthearted Lines

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Paper Blooms DSP 3/4 x 4 (2)

   Petal Pink 4-3/4 x 1-1/8 

   1/8 or 1/4" Circle 

Ink:

   Night of Navy 

   Soft Sea Foam

   Petal Pink

   Seaside Spray

Accessories:

   Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder

   Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed a Basic White card front, using the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder.

I then took the Soft Sea Foam ink pad and gently rubbed the left side of the embossed image.

Next, I used the Seaside Spray ink pad on the middle section of the embossed image. You must use a gentle touch.

I then took the Petal Pink ink pad and gently ran it down on the right side of the embossed image.

Next, I adhered two strips of Paper Blooms DSP and adhered them on the left side of the card front. I used patterned paper, but you can turn these into solid strips of paper if you think the card front is too busy.

I then stamped a sentiment on the Petal Pink strip, using Night of Navy ink. 

Next, I snipped the end to form the pointy arrow as shown above.

I then attached the sentiment to the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few wooden elements (2 Circles and a directional arrow), a glitter sequins, and a Basic White panel to the card front.
