I took my paper snips to Amazing Year to create the focal point for this card. I colored the bouquet with my Stampin’ Blends and rummaged through the bits and pieces on my craft desk to pull a card together:
- Stamps: Amazing Year
- Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Pale Papaya, Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo
- Accessories: Big Boss, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Deckled Rectangle dies, Stampin’ Blends, Awash with Beauty DSP, Perfectly Penciled DSP, White Frayed Ribbon, White Bakers Twine, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Paper Snips
I had such fun preparing the Deckled Rectangle for this bouquet. A little watercolor wash, a few flicks from my Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Write marker (flick the brush against the cap – try it!) and that white panel is elevated to something special.
The two different pieces of DSP were scraps just begging to be used. In the photo, that green panel looks like it’s been embossed, but it’s just the design of the DSP popping off the page. It worked really well with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.
A little bakers twine, pulled apart and tied into a soft bow, accents the bouquet. I trimmed the “Enjoy Your Day” tag off the stem and attached it separately because 1) the connection was too thin and it would be wonky and 2) I wanted it tucked almost underneath the bouquet. It’s a great sentiment because it covers a lot of occasions.
Try this yourself! Pull together some scraps of DSP and color an image you love, then play mix and match. It’s gratifying to use up those bits and pieces! Shop for supplies HERE.
