Happy Friday, everyone! My card today features some spring-like colors from the Clean and Simple Colours and Sketches challenge:
Aren't they pretty? I wanted to practice some blending skills, so I heat embossed the greenery image from Positive Thoughts on some Shimmery White cardstock with Craft White ink and White embossing powder, then blended on some Pear Pizzazz ink. This is what I came up with:
I added some Grapefruit Grove faceted gems to my greenery, as well as a diecut butterfly:
And I added a sentiment from Woven Heirlooms before tying on some crinkly seam binding that I had dyed with some Daffodil Delight ink:
I used the Stitched Rectangle die to cut out my panel beforehand, layering it on two panels of Whisper White cardstock that had been diecut with the largest scallop die from Stitched So Sweetly dies; I trimmed one end off one of the diecuts and carefully layered them together to create a larger mat. It all went on a Grapefruit Grove card base! I left the inside blank; I'll fill in a sentiment when I need to! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Oh this is pretty LeAnne - the ink blending is a great way to highlight the fern image. I have resisted getting this set, but you and Jan are going to push me over the edge I think!!
ReplyDeleteI never know what to do with the seam binding ribbon I have. You used it perfectly here. I do like that stamp set but haven't ordered it yet. Have a blessed weekend.
ReplyDeleteJust so lovely to see green, LeAnne! Love those ferns! [and of course the butterfly!]

This is dreamy Leanne and has me longing for spring!
ReplyDeleteI love how the leafy stems pop against your green background. What a great look! The butterfly, the scrunchy bow, and the sentiment are all perfect!
