Cherry Blossom Card

I can't believe I made this card three years ago and never posted it! Since the cherry blossoms are nearly out in the D.C. area, I figure now is as good a time as any.

I used So Saffron as the base, with a layer of Mellow Moss, and Naturals White for the image. The flower from Heartfelt Thanks was inked in Blush Blossom and then the edges were rolled in Cameo Coral stamped and cut out. So Saffron ink was used for the center of the main flower. The background flowers were inked in Blush Blossom and "stamped off" once before stamping on the Naturals White layer. The stems were inked with Mellow Moss and stamped off as well. The layer of Mellow Moss cardstock was stamped with Mellow Moss ink using the now retired Canvas background stamp, but any textural stamp would work just fine.

About a 1/2 inch was cut from the bottom front of the card and then the edge was paper pierced and stamped with "spring" from the now retired Everyday Flexible Phrases in So Saffron. Grosgrain and Gingham ribbon were attached through a hole punched with the slot punch to finish it off.

Happy Stamping!

Heartfelt Thanks in Banana and Plum

Hmm... Banana and Plum - sounds like the start of a fruit salad! Anyway, this card is one I did a long time ago... I really need to get caught up on posting!

For this I used Heartfelt Thanks, Rough Texture Wheel, and Everyday Flexible Phrases stamps. The card is Barely Banana with a Perfect Plum band wheeled with Perfect Plum ink and the Rough Texture Wheel. I used the Slit Punch and a Antique Brass brad to create a little interest on the Plum band. The inks for the flower are Perfect Plum and Always Articoke. A Barely Banana button finishes off the Flower.

Happy Stamping!
