Wonderful Thoughts Pretty Florals Words of Support Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features a message from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set that sometimes is just what someone needs.  A soothing color palette of muted blues and greens continues the message of a quiet safe space.  This all comes together with a print from the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (DSP) and coordinating Pretty Florals stamp & die bundle.


Techniques include two step stamping and die cutting.

Beverly's Tip of the Day

Where's the Cloud Cover stamp pad??

Sadly, the Cloud Cover ink color reacted with the material in the stamp pad, so the color was not consistent enough for Stampin' Up!'s quality requirements. 

To achieve an ink color similar to Cloud Cover, inking with Secret Sea and stamping the color off twice lightens it enough to closely resemble Cloud Cover.

Greetings! 

Today's card features stamp sets, dies, embossing folder and DSP from the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection.  This is a fabulous collection of images, die cuts, scenic prints and more together in one suite.  Everything in this collection invites you to mix and match for so many possibilities.




Techniques include embossing, stamping on DSP, coloring with Stampin' Blends and more.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

When creating a card, save the scraps, as they may be just what you need for that extra little something.  

I typically design the card first, then figure out where to put the message.  I was struggling with what to stamp the message on.  I tried a couple colors of cardstock with two or three colors of ink, and nothing seemed right.  I was looking at all the scraps of DSP laying on my crafting table, and saw the little cut off piece from the embossed layer.  It was laying upside down, and the color and little hints of white showing through on the embossed images adds just the right touch.  This piece along with a scrap of the softly colored print for the message pulls in another hue of blue to tie in with the frame and the ribbon.  Only the card base and the colored floral image are cardstock layers. Every other layer of this card is from the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper (DSP).

======================================================================

=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Ink flower stamp with Gray Granite, stamp onto Basic Beige cardstock.  Color flowers in with Ivory Stampin' Blend, then add shading with Lt & Dk Petal Pink Stampin' Blend.  Color leaves with Lt Crumb Cake, add detail with Dk Crumb Cake to leaves, stems and flower centers.



Place print 2 in embossing folder so print will be debossed instead of embossed.  Die cut print 3 using frame die, making sure paper is lined up so it will cut out the inner frame.


Ink patterned stamp with Crumb Cake, stamp a couple times at upper right and lower left of debossed panel, re-inking before each stamping.  Ink "just a note" with Mossy Meadow, stamp onto print 5 piece, trim print 4 embossed piece down.


Adhere print 1 to Pecan Pie folded card front, adhere debossed layer at slight angle, adhere frame at opposite angle on card front.


Adhere die cut flower with stem tucked under bottom of frame, with Stampin' Dimensionals behind each flower.  Adhere embossed piece at left edge; angle slightly and trim at edge, adhere message piece extending over right end of embossed piece.


Tie ribbon into bow, adhere at bottom right of frame.  Embellish with Secret Sea flat pearls.
