Lots of Lavender Thinking of You card

Hello and welcome to the post for today. I made a card for someone who is going through a hard time right now and I thought I would share how I made it with all of you. The stamp set used is one that you can get for free with a $50.00 purchase and it's perfect for almost any occasion. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think.


Supplies:
Additional supplies: ATG, Scotch 3M foam tape, powder bag, heat tool, EK Success border punch, waterbrush.

1. Create a card base from Perfect Plum card stock to measure 5 ½’ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.

2. Cut a piece of Whisper White card stock to measure 4” x 5 ¼” and then cut a slightly smaller piece of the DSP. Adhere these to pieces to the card front.

3. Next punch out a scallop border and cut in half.

4. Cut a rectangular piece of Perfect Plum card stock, next a slightly smaller panel of Whisper White card stock and finally a piece of DSP slightly smaller still. Adhere the 3 panels together and then adhere the border pieces on either side of the paper stack.

5. Rub a piece of Whisper White card stock down with a powder bag, stamp the Lavender image using Versa Mark ink and then sprinkle with clear embossing powder. Heat set the focal image and then color in with water brush and ink pads. Trim focal panel to fit on top of paper stack and then pop it all up on foam tape and adhere centered on the card front.

6. Stamp the sentiment using black ink on a scrap of white card stock and ink the edges with Crushed Curry ink. Pop the left side of the sentiment up on foam tape and use adhesive on the right side and adhere to the focal image in the bottom left corner.

I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.

Forever Love layout share

Hello and welcome to the post for today. I'm not sure I actually created a layout I wanted for this photo since it is so precious to me, but I think it came out pretty good. The background layer is Crate Paper Hello Love. The photo was matted on the Basic Grey B side woodgrain paper, then the left side of the photo was matted the Basic Grey Maybe paper. The right side was matted with the Basic Grey Prom Date paper. The final layer on the photo is the Gold Arrow paper from the My Story paper by My Mind's Eye. A branding strip was put at the bottom of the photo layer and some of the word phrases were cut from the Hello Love paper by Crate Paper and decorative brads used on the tags are from the My Story sheet by My Mind's Eye. I stamped Hello Baby (SU) using Memento Tuxedo black ink and die cut a banner (SU) and adhered it to the tag. The year is from the Seasonal Snapshot 2015 Project Life accessory pack (SU). Take a look at the layout and let me know what you t...
