| Card for MU5 using Fifth Avenue Floral, Four Frames and Just Because stamp sets |
If you're wondering why most of my cards are "Thank You" ones, it is because I am heading toward the end of both the school year and the Stampin' Up year. I will be needing TONS of thank you cards over the next few months, so many of my samples will be of a thankful nature. This card could work for just about any occasion (expect maybe Christmas!), so just imagine an alternate sentiment if you'd like. Here is how I put this card together.
Starting with a piece of watercolour paper, I stamped the rose image three times using Versamark. I then heat embossed it using the new melon mambo embossing powder. Then I took my aquapainter and watercoloured the roses using rose red ink...did you know that colour is pretty much a richer, more saturated shade of melon mambo? I then set the roses aside to dry. While that was happening I took a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of very vanilla cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot using my perfect polka dots folder. I layered it on a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" piece of Woodland Walk DSP. I then adhered the now-dry roses in the upper left corner. I wrapped a piece of rose red seam binding around the corner and then threaded a big designer button with another piece of seam binding before adhering to the cardfront. I adhered the whole thing to a garden green cardbase. For the sentiment, I stamped the polka dotted frame from the Four Frames set in wild wasabi on a scrap of very vanilla. I then stamped the thank you from the Just Because level one hostess set in rose red and punched it out with my decorative label punch. I layered it with another decorative label in wild wasabi and then adhered it to the card using dimensionals. The final touch was a few basic pearls to highlight the sentiment.
So there you have it: a pretty, feminine card for someone special!
