I saw this card idea and immediately fell in love with it! I used the new "Biggest Wish" set and my Stampartus to line up the two words. I cut the bottom of the striped paper (from Pattern Party) with the Scalloped Contours Dies. The texture on the card was made with the Dots & Checks Embossing Folders and I tied a bow from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon package. Last, I added some Artistry Blooms Sequins on to finish it off.
"Color and Contour" is a set that has flowers and words, but best of all it has these great coordinating scalloped dies frames that come in many different sizes. Also, the flower die exactly matches the flower stamps--so cool. I stamped this in the new color Polished Pink and the black and white checked paper is from the Pattern Party DSP collection.
I made this card by swiping ink pads across my Stamparatus to make the background colors. Once I had the colors on the plate, I spritzed rubbing alcohol on it which diffused the colors a bit. Then I took Shimmery White card stock and swiped that across the colors. I stamped the background words from "Quiet Meadow" and cut the flowers out (same method used) from the coordinating Meadow Dies. I used all new In Colors: Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, and Soft Succulent.
I got this idea right from the pages of the new catalog which started last week. It's called "Pansy Patch" and it has 23 different stamps including flowers and sentiments. There are also coordinating dies! I used the coordinating Pansy Petals DSP and the new Polished Pink ribbon.
