Today, I have a GIVEAWAY! And "I don't need a reason", but if you comment here, you can win The Perfect Reason stamp set and matching dies from Catherine Pooler Designs! Comment below before
This floral-builder set has fun sentiments and endless possibilities! I used my MISTI-only wreath-building technique to create this pretty spring card.
I started with the branch stamp and built a basic wreath in Garden Party and Lime Rickey. Then I added some tiny flowers using It's a Girl, Sweet Sixteen, Bellini and Tiara. The flowers were added randomly, and once they were done, I used an acrylic block to add more branches, then more flowers.
My sentiment uses the die for the large flower. I stamped one in Lime Rickey, one with Garden Party and then layered them, with their petals offset, so that you can see both shades of green. It's a fun and easy way to get a different look with this die!
My team-mate Ashlea is also giving away The Perfect Reason bundle, so click here and comment for another chance to win!
I'm also linking up to the current Card Concept challenge:
I was inspired by the pastel colours in a circle.
Here's a video:

ReplyDeleteYour background stamping is spring perfect! What a pretty card design.
ReplyDeleteLoved your video as always! Wish it was a tad slower as my mind doesn’t always work at warp speed.😃 since I was planning on getting the set of pastel ink pads that you featured, hope I can be lucky enough to win. Even if I don’t, the technique can be used with other small flower stamps and I can draw or carve a small branch.
