I liked the simplicity of Jay's card, and the stamped patterned background image, layered with textured ribbon and trim, with another stamped image on top. Using the "Hello Friend" stamp set, this was my take on Jay's card:
Using a Very Vanilla cardstock base, I layered Lemon Lime Twist and Island Indigo. I love the elegant background stamp in the Hello Friends set, and embossed this using Copper heat emboss powder. Burlap ribbon was then adhered horizontally across the card front, and a rectangle piece of Very Vanilla placed on top for the "hello" to be adhered to. I stamped "hello" (from the same stamp set) onto very vanilla cardstock and fussy cut this out, then gently applied versamark straight from the ink pad onto the top part of my cut-out, before applying copper heat embossing powder to create the top embossed part. This was something I had seen done in the latest Stampin' Up! catalogue and I loved the effect. Lastly I stamped some Lemon Lime Twist & Island Indigo flowers and layered these on the top right corner of my wording panel.

Spectacular! Those colours just pop. I like everything about this card. I feel another CASE coming on.
ReplyDeleteStunning Lorin, the colour combo with copper embossing is so beautiful
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Lorin. I adore your two tomne sentiment. It really pulls your card colours together. The copper embossing in the background looks just fabulous and gives it a morrocan flavour.
