Hey there! Welcome to the fourth and final day of the April Ink to Paper sneak peeks! All of the new products that have been shared over the past several days will be available for purchase tomorrow, April 15th at 10 pm ET.
Ok, I have to tell you how much I am loving the new Blooming Thoughts stamp set! It's the perfect mix of elegant, whimsical, traditional, and modern. I mean seriously, it can fit into almost any style! ❤️💗
For the background, I stamped the new Weaved background stamp using Bright Buttercup ink. I'll admit, this is not the yellow that I normally reach for but I am loving it for this card! I wanted to add a bit more depth so I sponged on some Harvest Gold ink on the bottom half.
I layered all three flower sprigs along the diagonal tear of the background layer. For embellishment, I sprinkled on a few small epoxy hearts.
My next card also features the new Blooming Thoughts set. I knew that I wanted to do a colorblock style card but just wasn't feeling the traditional cardstock technique for this. I decided to reach for some paint and create the colorblock look that way.
So after I created this I added it to the small pile of projects to photograph that I had on my desk. My husband came over and I noticed him looking at it so I asked him what he thought. He kind of hesitated and then said, "Well, it's sort of earthy." Ummm, I'm pretty sure that is hubby speak for "It's not my fave." 😂 I'm not sure I would classify as a bright purple as earthy, but I could be wrong. LOL! Regardless, I like how it turned out!
This card base turned out to be a bit larger to accommodate the design, measuring 4" x 6".
My final project is actually a little card gift set. I created three simple cards and packaged them up with some envelopes.
Using the middle sized die from the Love to Layer: Scalloped Circle die set I created an inlaid die look.
It's hard to see in these photos, but I lightly stamped the Weaved background stamp on the top Kraft background layer. I then splattered on a bit of white paint for some added depth.
Each card features the same design but with different colors and blossom sprigs.
So what do you think of this release? There's a little of something for everyone! :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by!
