Hello, Everyone! Welcome to Melissa’s Fab Friday Feature
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Mixing and matching blooms is always a fun way of getting more use out of your Papertrey Ink stamps. For my card today, I’ve used the stems from the Birthday Bouquet stamp set and the flowers from the Bold Blooms stamp set to change the look of both stamps just a bit. Here’s how I created my card.
STEP 1: Stamp and die cut stems and flowers.
STEP 2: Lightly spritz stamped images with water to create a watercolor look. Let dry.
STEP 3: Cut border from Harvest Gold cardstock. Cut center later using Love to Layer: Torn Edges die from specialty paper. Adhere to center of card.
STEP 4: Cut top layer from white cardstock using the Torn Edges die, and stamp with sentiment. Adhere to center of card.
STEP 5: Tie a ribbon around flower stems and adhere to the card front, to the left of the sentiment. Adhere flowers and gems to finish. Adhere to a card base in the color you choose.
STAMPS: Birthday Bouquet, Bold Blooms, Just Sentiments: Just Sentiments: Easter Mini
INK: Bright Buttercup, Lemon Tart, Summer Sunrise, Autumn Rose, Hibiscus Burst, Pale Peony, Sweet Blush, Lilac Grace, Lovely Lady, Simply Chartreuse
PAPER: Stamper’s Select White, Harvest Gold
