Flowers, Just Because

Some stamps may be retired, but they never get "old." Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   And Many More

   Just Believe

   Hardwood

Paper:

   Old Olive A-2, 5-1/4 x 4

   Apricot Appeal 2-3/4 x 3-3/4, Scraps

   Basic White 2-1/2 x 3-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), Scrap

Technique:

   Punching

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the Hardwood background on the Old Olive panel, using Always Artichoke ink and adhered it onto the Old Olive card front.

I then stamped the flower silhouette from the Just Believe stamp set onto the Basic White small panel, using Old Olive ink.

Next, I adhered it onto the Apricot Appeal matte and then onto the card front, leaving space at the bottom for the sentiment. 

I then stamped the sentiment on the scrap of Basic White, using Tuxedo Black Memento. You can change the sentiment to suit your current need.

Next, I punched out the sentiment, using the Word Window punch and adhered it onto the card front.

I then punched out the flowers: 

   Large one-Apricot Appeal-Boho Blossoms Punch

   Small one-Daffodil Delight-Petite Petals punch.

Next, I attached them onto the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a pearl to the center of each punched flower and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Capital Thank You

I like to cut my coloring book pages and use them as backgrounds on my cards. Obviously, not all of them are worthy to place on a card, but some do make the cut. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Peekaboo Peach A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4, Scraps

   Coloring Book Page 3-7/8 x 4-5/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   None

Markers:

   Various Colors - Personal Choice

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Little Letters Thinlits Dies

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the letters on scraps of Basic Black, using the Little Letters Thinlits Dies. 

I then arranged the sentiment, THANK YOU, on the coloring book page and adhered it.

Next, I adhered three left-over strips of Basic Black diagonally and horizontally around the sentiment to accent it. I trimmed off the edges of each strip.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Black panel and then onto the Peekaboo Peach panel.

Lastly, I added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Hello Silhouettes

I think this is one of the easiest baby wipe techniques to use. I applied only one color at a time. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Just Believe

   A Dozen Thoughts

Paper:

   Daffodil Delight A-2

   Glossy Paper 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Jet Black Staz On

Re-Inkers:

   Basic Gray

   Soft Sky

   Cherry Cobbler

   Pumpkin Pie

   Daffodil Delight

   Sahara Sand

Technique:

   Striped Wipe 

Accessories:

   Baby Wipes

   Adhesive

I somewhat followed the technique found at SCS for the Striped Wipe technique.

I decided to apply only one color at a time, blending each color with the previous one. I still wanted the swiped look on the card, so I didn't smooth the ink out too much. I applied the colors in the order listed above.

Once the panel was dry, I stamped the silhouettes and the sentiment as shown above. 

Next, I adhered the panel to the Daffodil Delight card front.

Lastly, I added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

I thank you so much for stopping by here and checking out my card today. I do hope you liked it. Contact Me if you need more information.
