Today’s card was inspired by a video from Sara our Stampin’ Up! CEO that I shared on my Facebook page earlier today. She used water painters along with the Soft Seedlings stamp set to create a beautiful card. I wanted to mimic that look but do it with inks and daubers for a little less messy project.
Here is what I came up
with…
The card base is Old Olive cardstock that is cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. I then cut a layer of Cajun Craze that measured 3 7/8 x 5 1/8” and added it to my base on an angle. This layer will be a very thin mat for my Very Vanilla cardstock piece that I cut to 3 ¾ x 5” and then stamped my image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set on. I took my stamp and added ink using Daubers. I started by adding Old Olive ink to the stems, then I added Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze ink to the leaves. Once I had everything inked up I just huffed a little warm air (basically take a big breath and exhale on your stamp) and stamped over on the bottom left of the piece. I then added the sentiment “so grateful” (also from the stamp set) onto the top left using Cajun Craze ink. For a final addition I ran this piece through the Leaf Falling 3D Embossing Folder before adding it to the card.
This is a simple card but could certainly
be kicked up a notch by adding some embellishments or some ribbon. I hope you enjoy this card I certainly
enjoyed making it. As always you can
