I usually create my cards with a specific person in mind. This card was created from "playing" amd it simply evolved. I recently received the Dots & Stripes Decorative Mask set and wanted to give it a try. I started with a Stampin' Up! Note Card. Although I am not a pink person, I have fallen for the color Blushing Bride. So that is the color that I pulled out to create the polka dot pattern.
Then, I used a Sponge Dauber and added ink from my stamp pad onto the Dauber stamping repeatedly onto the circles mask until I achieved the coverage and color I wanted. (Note – I always have my Grid Paper underneath my project and I secured the mask in place with post-it-notes.)
Then I spritzed the card with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz. Can you see the shimmer?
I personally love pink and brown together so I pulled out Baked Brown Sugar to stamp the Hello Darling stamp. I cropped it with a Banner Framelit and then added a scrap of Baked Brown Sugar ribbon (retired) as an accent. I layered the banner over half of a Tea Lace Paper Doily and more stamps from the Hello Darling Stamp Set. I embossed the lacey circle in Blushing Bride Emboss Powder for more texture to the card.
This is not my typical card it has more froufrou than I normally put on a card. I like it – it is a very feminine card.
Let me know what YOU think.
