Today I’m showing you a variation of a card we are making in Stamp Club this month. I had some pretty foil DSP I wanted to use, and I had the stamps out, so I decided to make a card using Layering Leaves in Petal Pink.
Weeds or Wildflowers?
My husband took his 90-year-old mother to Pittsburg, PA to bowl in the Senior Olympics this week. They left a week ago today, and we’d just returned from our camping trip to the Smoky Mountains, so our yard did not get mowed before he left.
I looked out one day and all those tall spindly weeds had bloomed into pretty little yellow wildflowers. Steve always keeps the yard nicely mowed, so they’d never had the chance to bloom before. Steve is on his way home, so I know they’ll be gone by tonight or tomorrow, but they were kinda pretty for a couple of days.
Layering Leaves in Petal Pink
My card uses the Layering Leaves Stamp Set and the coordinating Bough Punch. You’ll also find step-by-step instructions below.
Instructions:
- Cut a piece of Petal Pink cardstock 5 ½” x 8 1/2”. Score at 4 1/4” and fold for card base.
- Cut a panel of Basic White 4”x5 ¼”. Stamp sprinkles across panel using Petal Pink ink, then emboss panel with Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. Attach to card base.
- Cut a ½”x4” strip of Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP and attach across white embossed panel.
- Stamp greeting in Petal Pink ink on white scrap and cut with Something Fancy die. Adhere to DSP strip with single Dimensional.
- Stamp solid leaves and outline leaves on white scraps with Granny Apple Green ink. Color outline leaves with filler stamp in Soft Sea Foam and punch with coordinating Bough Punch.
- Stamp flowers in Petal Pink on white scrap and punch with Bough Punch. Attach leaves and flowers to card with glue, tucking them under the sentiment.
Embellish with rhinestones colored with Calypso Coral Blends.
