Just Sayin’…
I’m ready for Spring.
I’m ready for flowers.
I’m ready for sunshine.
So when I saw this week’s Paper Player’s Challenge (PP236) was to make a “Clean and Simple Floral” card, I couldn’t wait to play along!
My Card Recipe: I heat embossed the StampinUp Blended Bloom floral image in black onto Whisper White card stock. Using a sponge dauber, I sponged Crushed Curry ink in the middle, then light to dark shades of “orange” (Crisp Cantaloupe, Tangelo Twist, Tangerine Tango). For some extra pizazz, which is so hard to capture in the photos, I added a light brush of Wink of Stella on the petals. I then “fussy” cut the flower out and adhered it to another white layer using an antique brad (to which I stamped the image with Memento Black ink underneath just for some extra dimension). I used my favorite new Lil’ Inkers Stitched Rectangle Border Die Cuts to create the edge of the white piece and to the front of the Tangerine Tango card stock base. I adhered the white to the orange using foam tape to add extra dimension. The final step was to stamp “Just Saying” in Memento Black ink using the Crazy About You Stamp set.
I love this simple stamp and how this card turned out, and I can’t wait to share it with someone.
So today, I’m “just sayin'”…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Happy Spring!
Happy Birthday #25 Nick! Thanks for bringing such joy to my life and making every March 17th one of my favorite days of the year!
