Wow…can you believe that July is already half over. I’ve had so many good intentions to blog more regularly during the summer while I’m off from school but somehow the days just slip past. We’re busy renovating the house we moved into last summer. I’m also lucky to get to spend three days each week at the beach in Avalon, NJ with my daughter and grandson…so I’m not complaining at all!
However, I did manage to get a card done for this week….
I really love the floral images and patterns in the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper collection but felt a bit intimidated by it. So to get started on something, I created the card front using this pretty floral pattern matted with Petal Pink and Blackberry Bliss card stock and mounted it on a Whisper White card stock base. This actually sat on my desk for about a week before I was inspired enough to create a card.
I stamped and layered the flowers from images in the Floral Essence stamp set multiple times in Blushing Bride and Highland Heather ink. I needed three stamped images for each flower: two large and one small. You can see the layering in the photo below. The leaves are from the Painted Harvest stamp set and are stamped in Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive ink on vellum. I punched them using the coordinated leaf punch. I like how they look muted against the DSP.
The sentiment is from a set I purchased long ago from Michaels but I absolutely love the fonts. I stamped it on vellum and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Lastly, I added a few Clear Epoxy Droplets.
The inside sentiment is also from the same set….
I’m pretty pleased with the way this card turned out and I’m slowly getting over my DSP intimidation! I’ve actually created another project with a different pattern from Perennial Essence DSP that I’ll post next week.
