Happy February Saturday! February does of course bring with it Valentines Day, and if you need a little help with cards for that, Inkspiration has the perfect photo to help! I stayed very close to the source with my card:
These little roses are my favourite type of layering stamps - the kind where you can't be exact. :D I lightly traced a heart on my cardstock, then stamped along it with the outline rose stamp. Next, with my lighter ink shade, I used the fill-in stamp, first full strength, and then again on the next rose to get the lighter 2nd generation colour. From a different stamp set, I added a few little leaves here and there. The imprecise look of the flowers gave me permission not to be perfect with them, either. ;) I picked up on the door from the photo by scoring the panel horizontally. I can't decide if it was a good idea to leave the centre area of the wreath unscored or not - but it felt like it might be above my pay grade the day I was making this. :D The sentiment is from yet another stamp set.
I've got pink, a heart and a romantic sentiment, so I am going to add this to the current Festive Friday challenge: St. Valentine's Day.
I love the different directions the Ink team went with their inspired cards - and I'm sure you will, too! I hope you will join us.
Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, Winnie & Walter In Bloom: Frenchy's Festive Florals & In Bloom: Hollie's Festive Florals & MFT Tropical Sensations stamps, Catherine Pooler do-si-do, polished & garden party ink, Studio Katia clear drop mix 2
Love this card, Lindsey and you certainly nailed the inspiration photo from Inkspirational! Love the horizontal scoring too! Well done! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt look pretty perfect to me. Love your card, the horizonal lines are a perfect backdrop. great job with 3 sets and those "dew drops"
ReplyDeleteWell, this turned out wonderfully. I'm always for embracing "imperfection" as I'm rarely spot on! Haha. It really is a lovely card and design.
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty. I really love the look of those imprecisely layered flowers, and your background scoring adds just that extra touch.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cleverly made and it looks beautiful with the different shades of pink and the scorelines. I hope you're well.
ReplyDeleteWow! A gorgeous one layer card. (I have such a hard time with those.) Well done friend.
ReplyDeleteYou can't get a better fit, this is almost an exact replica of the photo! I think your own made wreath turned out looking amazing.
ReplyDeleteSimply sweet....your floral heart is just as pretty as can be!!! Sending you lots of love!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Lindsay - you can't go wrong with such pretty layered roses! Thanks for playing along over at Festive Friday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteLindsay, I love that gorgeous floral heart wreath, especially paired with the brick embossing folder - it adds so much texture and grounds your wreath, but doesn't detract from that beautiful wreath. So glad you joined us at Festive Friday this week

Beautiful card, Lindsey!! I like all the details and I noticed and appreciated that you didn't score in the middle of the heart before I read about it. Thanks for joining us at Festive Friday Challenge. Blessings, Beth :)
