Hey everyone! I can’t believe it’s Monday already! How are you all today?
So we probably all need something to cheer us up from our Monday Blues! How about a birght cheery card?
What do you think? Kinda funky? Definitely bright and cheerful! This was created for a commission where my only brief was ‘appreciation, modern, flowers, girly colours’. Gotta love a bit of creative license!
I started with a Stamper’s Select White card base and stamped half of it with Hero Arts Tiny Ink Spots Background using Versamark ink. I then heat embossed it with WOW! Clear Semi Dull embossing powder.
Then I set to work with all those blooms! These are from Rosie Posie and were stamped with a rainbow of A:Muse inks – Grapfruit, Watermelon, Bermuda, Lime, Papaya, Grape, Heather and Bellini (wow, I memorised that list – how sad!). Where the blooms overlapped the embossing I wiped at the ink with a tissue to reveal the contrast of those dots!
I wanted to finish off with a tag, as if this was a bunch of modern blooms being delivered with a little card. I die cut the tag using the Fillable Frames #9 die, added the pinked edge with the Pinking Shears Borer die, and stamped it with the sentiment from Signature Greetings II using Berry Sorbet ink. I added my tiny dots as before, threaded through some Baker’s Twine and adhered to the base with Pinflair Glue Gel. Done and done!
Well, I guess I better get going for now, but I would love to welcome you back here tomorrow! Did you see yesterday’s announcement? Curiosity piqued? Would you like to know what’s going on? Stay tuned – I will be revealing the details soon! Let me just say… you are gonna love it!!
Thanks so much for stopping by – I’d love it if you left some love before you got on with your day. 🙂
Beautiful colors and beautiful stamping! I really like the texture you achieved from stamping on the embossed background, such a unique look!
This is so beautiful!
Love the cheerful colors and your design Taheerah!
Yep, this card totally fits the bill. Man oh man that texture stamp is so darned cool! Always love the layers you create on your cards with ink and embossing. No exception here!!
And so excited to hear your news!
LOVE the colorful card, Taheerah! The composition and flow are fabulous! Just catching up on your blog posts as I was away to the Caribbean for some needed sunshine…. 🙂
I love the texture from the dot background and the little swish of the twine is perfect!
This is so pretty! I love the texture you added with the dotted background!
