I’m sharing a
card for a friend featuring a stamp I bought over the weekend at a craft show
from Uniquely Creative called Spring Bouquet.
My card layout
follows the sketch over at Sunday Stamps.
For some added interest I used a stitched border die to cut my top layer
from watercolour paper before I stamped my image. I also die cut my sentiment and popped it up
on several more layers of the same die cut.
I know there’s a name for that technique but it escapes me at the moment! I finished off my sentiment with a small chippie
from Make it Crafty and added a small amount of bling with a bitty gem for the
dot of the ‘i’. Hard to see in the pic but I also embossed the stamp with some new embossing powder, also from the show, from Bellbird Paperarts that has a bit of gold sparkle to it.
So I could play
along at Creative Friday I’ve limited my colour palette to only three colours,
yellow, white and green. I went with yellow
for the flower as my friend is a very sunny natured soul, she really does bring
sunshine and light to everyone lucky enough to know her.
As I have
featured a floral stamp I am also linking up my card over at The Sisterhood of Crafters for their current bloomin’ flowers challenge.
