A bright cherry card Just for you.
Last week was a tough week and one evening I came home and lost myself in my craft room. All the worries of the day just went away as I stamped, embossed and snipped away. This is the result of that evening.
Some of the items I used are retired (these stamps were feeling neglected) yet this card can easily be created using current collections and less snipping!
The standard A2 card base is Calypso Coral followed by a mat of So Saffron just 1/4" smaller [ 4" x 5 1/4"]. The next layer is from the Watercolor Wonder DSP and it is 1/4" smaller again [ 3 3/4" x 5"]. Then I cut the largest Sunburst framelit in Calypso Coral, followed by a circle framelit in Whisper White.
The flowers were stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with White Emboss Powder. I snipped each flower and leaves, it is much easier to snip along an embossed line for a clean snip. The leaves were stamped on Pear Pizazz. The flowers and leaves are from the retired Flower Fest stamp set. I would use the Flower Shop stamp set and the the Pansy Punch from the current catalog instead - no snipping required then!
The 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon in Pear Pizazz added the finishing touch.
So the next time you have a tough day, grab some paper and ink and see what you can create!
