BEAUTIFUL MOTIFS IN BLACKBERRY BLISS AND BUBBLE BATH

Today’s card features the Beautiful Motifs Dies and the Damask Designs Embossing Folder.  I saw a card on Pinterest that was created by Laura Seki and I decided to give it a whirl.  I changed the colors a little and added some blending and I was very happy with the result.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic White cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.   I cut a strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to 1 ¾ x 5 ½” and embossed it using the Damask Designs Embossing Folder.  I took a Sponge Dauber and some Craft Stampin Ink and added just a little of the white ink to the raised embossed damask images (I really like the look).  I added this to the left side of the front of my card base.  Next, I cut a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock to 3 ¼ x 4 ½” and being careful not to place the die close to the edges I die cut one of the floral images from the die set out of the center and set it aside to use later.  Then I cut a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to 3 x 4 ¼” and again being careful to stay away from the edge that would be seen I die cut one more of the floral images out of the center and set them aside to use later. 

I often die cut things out of the center of cardstock that I am going to be layering.  You can’t see the cuts and it is a cost-effective way to get more out of your cardstock.  Next, I cut a piece of Basic White to 2 ¾ x 4” and I die cut the leaf image (this image does not cut completely out) across the piece.  I then used a Sponge Dauber and some Bubble Bath Ink and I just sponged a little ink on and around the cut image to add some interest.  I also lifted some of the leaves up just a little.  With all three of these layers cut I went ahead and attached them to one another and then attached that panel to the card base using Dimensionals. 

I added one each of the floral pieces I had cut from the Bubble Bath and Blackberry Bliss layers to the front of the panel.  For embellishments I chose to add three of the Loose Frosted Dots and since I didn’t have the right color of twine (I wanted Bubble Bath) I simply took a piece of the white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack and colored it with my Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Marker (I used the dark). 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
