Good CHILLY Sunday morning! Yep – the weathermen were right this time – and it’s been below freezing since about…7 pm on Friday evening! Yesterday morning – while still snuggled under the covers – I asked Siri what the outside temp was. He replied…17 degrees. Just cuz…why not – I asked about the wind shill.
5 degrees.
Nope. Turn over time!
My card today – which I made last night on YouTube, if you’d like to check it out – is a bit of wishful thinking for Spring! It showcases the gorgeous Detailed Dogwood stamp set (which is FREE right now during Sale-a-Bration!) and the Biggest Wish set from the current Annual Catalog. Take a look-see:
The layout was inspired by the Global Design Project CASE the Designer challenge this week.
And the color palette – which I LOVE! – is from the Cupcake Inspirations challenge.
I started by cutting out the third-from-largest Deckled Rectangles die from the center of a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of cardstock (the color doesn’t matter – it’s just a mask!).
I secured a Basic White panel to my work surface with sticky notes and then secured the mask over top.
Using a Blending Brush, I added Daffodil Delight ink to card front. I left it a little blotchy – which adds some texture!
Then, using the small flower and the leaves image from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set, I added those images all over in stamped-off-once Daffodil Delight ink.
Y’all – the Detailed Dogwood stamp set is really gorgeous – and you can get it for FREE with a $100 qualifying purchase (before shipping & tax) while Sale-A-Bration 2024 is going on thru 29 Feb!
Next up, I used the little square fluer-de-do stamp (it’s the one in the top left corner in the picture above) and added it a few times in stamped-off-once Crushed Curry.
With that done, I removed the mask and stamped the big focal image from Detailed Dogwood in Smoky Slate ink.
Using a Blender Pen and my Smoky Slate ink pad, I lightly added ink to the shading marks on the image.
I added some doodles as a frame using the bullet-end of my Smoky Slate Stampin’ Write Marker.
I stamped the sentiment – from the Biggest Wish stamp set – in Basic Gray ink.
Then I added some Lemon Lolly Adhesive-backed Solid Gems, matted the panel on Basic Gray and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped the big Detailed Dogwood image in Basic Gray ink in the corner of a Basic White panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Basic Gray mat and into my Thick Basic White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Detailed Dogwood floral on the front in Basic Gray…
…and again on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Super simple and clean and so so pretty! All thanks to the stunning – and FREE! – Detailed Dogwood stamp set (Dogwoods are one of my fave things – we have them all over here!) and a cool masking technique using the Deckled Rectangles dies. Since the stamp set doesn’t have any sentiments – you might want to pull out the Biggest Wish all-sentiment set to help out!
I hope you like!
