Well
we are moving right along on our project, to add cards to this cute little
purse for gift giving. (Tutorial for
purse on May 1st post).
So
here is card #6 in our series using the Happy Times paper pack which can be
yours for free (see post on right side of blog) during the month of May 2016 in
celebration of National Scrapbooking Month.
Today I will also be using the Happy Times stamp set which is only
available this month. It is a really fun
set and I am planning to make some awesome scrapbook pages with it later this
month, so be on the lookout for those.
I
started by using a pre-made white base for my card (because as I have stated
several times I always use my beautiful paper sparingly. I cut a piece of what is surely my favorite
paper in this package to 4 ¼ x 5 ½” and adhered it to the front of my
card. Next I used a piece of the white
and metallic gold paper and cut it to 2 ¼ x 5 ½” and made sure that I
positioned it so that the gold would be on each side once I added a piece of
white daisy cardstock that measured 2 x 5 ¼”.
I
stamped the white daisy with one of the sentiments from the Someone Special
stamp set using one of the newest Close to my Heart colored inks – Pomegranate;
I just love how it pops off the white. I
stamped the flower (two pieces) second generation pomegranate (which means I
inked the stamp and stamped off on scratch paper and then stamped onto my
cardstock). I stamped the leaves using
Pear ink. Then I cut all the pieces
out. I assembled the flower using liquid
glass which dries fast and holds well (I use it on all my flowers).
To
give the flowers dimension I used my bone folder to break down some of the
fibers in the paper and shape them. I
did the same thing to my leaves so they would have some dimension as well. I adhered the flower and leafs but still felt
like there was something missing so I added the little pomegranate colored gem
to the center of the flower.
I
love how it turned out, what do you think?
Have a great day and Happy Crafting!!!!
