Good Morning Everyone
Happy Monday. I hope you all managed to have a lovely weekend.
As always, my Monday project is something I created for the brand new Creative Colour Challenges combo. I absolutely love this week's mix of Soft Succulent, Mango Melody & Gray Granite.
I decided to use the Hand Penned Petals stamp set to create a very lovely Thank You card.
Measurements
Soft Succulent Card Stock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"
1pc - 3 3/8" x 2 7/8"
Basic White Card Stock
2pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
Gray Granite Card Stock
1pc - scrap
-------------------------------
Take the larger piece of Soft Succulent card stock and fold along the score line to create a card base.
Take one of the basic white pieces and cover it completely with the flower outline image, then go in and fill in the images with the coordinating stamps. the whole idea behind this set it to give a free hand or hand drawn effect so the in fill stamps don't always fit perfectly. I used 1st Generation stamping for the larger flower head and I used 2nd Generation (stamped off once) for the smaller flower. I added colour the the stems with my Gray Granite Stampin Blends. Add this to the card front
Stamp one of the images into the bottom right hand corner of the other piece of basic white and fill with colour too. Add this to the inside of the card.
Now, stamp another flower image onto a scrap of basic white and fill with colour, then fussy cut. Glue this to a scrap of Gray Granite and trim around the image leaving an even border round the edge.
Stamp the sentiment into the bottom left of the Soft Succulent piece in Soft Succulent ink and then add this to the centre of the card front.
Finally add the fussy cut flower to the centre of the soft succulent panel with dimensionals, popping a large pear into the centre of the full open flower.
I am really happy with how my card turned out, and how the background almost looks like a frame as the base and middle panel are the same colour. I hope you have enjoyed my card today.
