Hi Stampers!
Here in Palm Coast, FL, Spring has arrived. As you can see by this card and the one in the previous post, we are using the soft colors that coordinate with the Delicate Dots Designer Series Paper from this year's Sale-a-Bration promotion. This is the second card in the set we are making in this month's classes. The layout comes from a card we made at the Orlando Regionals in January. We are using stamps and Designer paper from the S-A-B catalog that you may earn for free, based on your purchases.
The card base is Sahara Sand, which has been stamped along the upper portion with the smaller petal stamp from Botanical Blooms and Versamark ink. A strip of the Delicate Dots Designer Series paper has been punched along the bottom using the Scallop Edge punch. A narrow strip of Bashful Blue card stock is layered beneath the top edge and two brads have been added before adhering to the card base. A greeting from Sincere Salutations is stamped in Saraha Sand Classic ink on the lower portion.
The focal image uses Very Vanilla card stock layered with So Saffron card stock. Both layers have been distressed using the Cutter Kit distressing tool. The larger flower is inked in So Saffron Classic ink, stamped off and then stamped on the Very Vanilla several times in a random pattern. The smaller bloom is inked in Bashful Blue, stamped off and stamped randomly. The leaves are inked in Certainly Celery, stamped off and also stamped randomly filling in the space. A 1/8" circle is punched in the top left corner. A short piece of Bashful Blue Taffeta ribbon is threaded through and tied together using a piece of Linen Thread. A brad is added in the same hole. This is attached to the card using Dimensionals. I have layered a piece of Very Vanilla card stock on the inside for your sentiment or note and stamped the flowers and leaves in the same manner in the lower left corner. This card can be used for any occasion. Why not make up a few of these without the greeting or sentiment to have ready to use? When you need a card, simply add the appropriate greeting. This is a very quick and easy card to put together.
