Always and Forever

The card I am sharing with you today is one that we received as a Make and Take at Onstage Live in November – another peak at what’s to come with the release of the new Mini Catalogue in January. I decided to change the design a little but not too much. I stamped the floral image from the Forever Blossoms stamp set twice onto Vellum card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the images on the reverse side using Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the images using the co-ordinating Cherry Blossoms Die. The images are layered onto a piece of the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper as well as a piece of Vellum card stock before being attached to scored and folded Pool Party card. I stamped the greeting from the Forever Blossoms stamp set onto Whisper White card using Smoky Slate ink and punched it out using the Label Me Fancy Punch. I attached a length of the Petal Pink 1/4″ Metallic Edge Ribbon to the back before attaching the greeting to the card front using dimensionals.
Lastly I added Basic Rhinestones to the centres of the flowers.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the small flower onto the top left and lower right hand corners of Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the same flower onto a post-it-note and cut it out. I masked the flowers and stamped the double leaf image from the Forever Blossoms stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the flowers using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and the leaves using Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends.
I really love the soft effect you get when you colour on the reverse side of the Vellum card stock. What do you think?
Bye for now,
Kris
