I've created lots of cards using the new Occasions Catalog stamp sets, designer papers and accessories. Of all the cards I've made this one has been the biggest hit with my customers.
The Painted Petals stamp set should be high on your wish list!
Did you notice how the petals are each a different color? With photopolymer stamps this is easy to do! I inked up the flower on the left in a light shade, then carefully moved to the darker color and inked up the petal on the right. I also added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the flowers.
The Note Tag punch works perfectly as a focal point for the greeting and I couldn't resist adding some of the new Painted Blooms Cotton Twine. This twine is not like 'twine'. It's super soft like the fibers of a baby blanket, making it the perfect accessory for this soft-layered card.
This beautiful cotton twine includes three spools of each color; Wild Wasabi, Whisper White and Soft Sky. Each spool includes 10 yards. Hmmm, if I only knew how to knit! ((smile))
Cutting Dimensions
