My first card uses probably one of my favorite stamp sets EVER,
Brushed Plaid Stamps. Oh my, I love every thing about this set and I will be using it a ton. You won't want to miss out on it. My card also features the equally cool
Best Mom Stamps, and
Best Mom Dies.
I started by stamping this amazing plaid background image from
Brushed Plaid Stamps in a stark black on a white card base. In case you didn't know, I'm a sucker for black and white and I love how black makes colors pop. This is a great way to add a punch of black when I would usually have to track down the lone remaining black and white patterned paper in my stash (they are always the first to go). I was super happy with how awesome the plaid looked on an angle and it almost looked like I layered paper to make this happen. Next, I got to work on my florals. I couldn't wait to play with that amazing large flower in the
Best Mom Stamps. I think it is so awesome that the same stamp can be used for petals and then flipped for leaves...brilliant! I cut out my large flower with the
Best Mom Dies and got to work stamping the petals in a bright coral. Next, I stamped and cut my leaves in two shades of green and another flower from
Best Mom Stamps in a mustard. I couldn't decide exactly what to do with the center of my large flower but those dots got the better of me. I added a bit of glossy accents to them for some shine. Once I had all my flowers arranged and placed with adhesive and foam tape, I embossed a sentiment from
Best Mom Stamps in gold on vellum and then cut it like a little tab to attach beneath the large flower but the sort of flap there only being attached at one point. I really liked this little bit of added dimension. I added some little filler stamps and enamel dots and the card was done. Here's a closer look:
I really love all the brushed elements in the
Brushed Plaid Stamps and I wanted to create a very clean card with the stripes. So, I stamped them in a bold black with the "How are you?" sentiment beneath. Next, I cut the
Hello Word Die Set from some fun paper that faded from one color to another multiple times to make it thick like chipboard when I glues all the cuts together. I love that it added dimension but now enough to make it hard to mail. I can't wait to play with the
Hello Word Die Set more. Especially with the framing layer. It's going to be a blast! Here's a closer look:
