Welcome to the Pals March Blog Hop. This month we are excited to kick-off Spring with our creative projects. We hope enjoy these creations and we hope Spring finds your soon!
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from #15 Linda Callahan at Stampin' Seasons on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.
The Stampin' Mojo for my card this month was inspired by flowers at church this weekend. The vibrancy of the varied purple flowers against the dark green foliage was striking.
The card is non-standard 6 1/2" x 4". With the Envelope Punch Board I no longer need to stick with a standard size card!
I used two different floral stamp sets; Secret Garden and Simple Stems. Both of these sets work with the Secret Garden framelits! I love when I can we can leverage the framelits with multiple stamp sets. I added Basic Jewel Rhinestones to the center of the daisies and a little Dazzling Details were added to the centers of the other flowers.
My intention was to trim the flowers that were hanging off the Very Vanilla layer. Then I laid it onto the Old Olive layer and thought…I'll trim it along this layer. But again I didn't want to trim it as you can't take it back right? So I decided to allow all the dimension of the layer flowers to remain key to the card and simply let the flowers overflow off the whole card.
You can see a little more of the shimmer and sparkle to the flowers here. The thank you sentiment comes from the Happy Watercolor stamp set.
I plan on sending this to a family friend who hosted a dinner party this past Saturday because I was in town. She and her husband are still lively and fun as they approach their 80th birthdays. That is the way to live, they are a terrific inspiration to me.
