Thanks

My first card features the Sketched Florals stamp and die set. I stamped the sentiment and floral outlines in Permanent Black ink and then stamped the flowers in Fuchsia, Coral Bliss, and Sunkissed. The leaves are stamped in Lime. I die cut all the pieces and set them aside.

For the background, I used the Dotted Waves die to add texture to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of white cardstock. Then I used foam tape to add an abstract shape made using dies from the Pond Flowers die set. I added the floral images and sentiment using more foam tape and then I glued the card front to a card base to finish.

Sending Birthday Hugs

My second card features a large floral die cut made using the Fragrant Flowers die set. I cut the floral piece from a panel ink-blended with Seedless Preserves, Festive Berries, and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide inks. I die cut the floral piece twice more from white cardstock and then I stacked and adhered the three layers together to create dimension. I glued the piece to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base and then added the sentiment which is from the Sentiment Strips 3 stamp set.

Have A Super Day

My last card features new ink colors and a simple stenciled background with leafy die cuts.

I used the Color Blobs stencil and blending brushes to blend Coral Red, Pool, and Navy, all from the Deco Garden Fresh Dye ink pad set, onto a panel of white cardstock. I added some fern die cuts made with the Parlor Palm die set and a heat embossed sentiment. I finished by using foam tape to adhere the card front to a pink card base.
