Making a Special Card for a Special Friend!

Hello Everyone,

I am using some new supplies to make today’s extra special card!

The Lost Lagoon background has some tone on tone stamping using the leaf from the Best of Friends stamp set. This is layered with Pretty Peacock.

A combination of Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies created the focal point.

You can see how I coloured the flowers in my video tutorial….

I embellished the card with flowers cut with the Petal Park Builder punch and some rhinestones.

This variation uses Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss cardstock!

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Panelled Background with Irresistible Blooms!

Hello Everyone,

I haven’t used this stamp set for a little while so here’s 2 cards in very different colours!

The background panel was made by layering some strips of cardstock on to a neutral layer.

I started by blending some ink from one side and stamping with the splatter image to add texture.

You can see how I coloured the flowers in my video tutorial….

The punched sentiment and die cuts were added with dimensionals and helped hide a little mistake with the layering!

This variation uses some of the 2024 in colours!
