SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE VALENTINE

Do you have trouble sending cards – and sending them on time? I am working on a new system featuring our gorgeous new Perpetual Calendar, but in order to make it work I need to have cards made. Why are the obvious things so hard?

  • Stamps: Bee My Valentine, Elements of Text, Happy Hibiscus, Spotlight on Nature
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Spotlight on Nature dies, Happy Hibiscus dies, Watercolor Pencils, Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon, 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I used a lot of different stamps to add visual texture, including the glorious Elements of Text. Have you added it to your crafty stash? You’re going to love it, I promise.

These colors aren’t super traditional, but they’re not too far off. What do you think? Do they work?

And do yourself a favor: add Elements of Text to your shopping cart and push the button. You’ll be so glad you did.

Success! You're on the list.

HAPPY (YELLOW) HIBISCUS

Happy Hibiscus is a “forevah” stamp set in my crafty toolbox – I may have to buy a second bundle just in case I ever lose a piece! (Not that I lose things, oh, no!)

  • Stamps: Happy Hibiscus, Layers of Beauty, Everyday Greetings, Greetings of the Season
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Garden Green, Real Red
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Happy Hibiscus dies and Hybrid Embossing Folder, Watercolor Pencils, White Bakers Twine, Transparent Adhesive Back Dots, Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

To get the red center, I used watercolor pencils. They allowed me to shade and layer the color the way I saw it in my mind’s eye. I also used the pencils on the background image from Layers of Beauty to keep them soft and, well, you know, in the background.
