Hi and thanks so much for stopping by. Quick post today as I just want to share a card I made with my new Tasteful Touches stamp set.
I wanted a "hello" card to send to a friend during the COVID-19 that was soft and feminine.
I began with a So Saffron base and then layered up with Flirty Flamingo, Basic Black and Whisper White card stocks.
When I created my background piece I began with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock. From this base I was able to cut several different pieces. The layer used on this card measured 3 3/4" x 5" and the sentiment label was cut out with the 2" Stitched Circle die. I sponged the edges with Flirty Flamingo ink and then blended with a sponge dauber and So Saffron ink to blur the images around the edges.
I inked up the floral stamp with So Saffron ink and then loaded a Sponge Dauber with Flirty Flamingo ink and daubed around the edges of the flower to add some different levels of shading. While stamping I varied the intensity of the colour going with full colour or stamping off the colour as I went.
My idea was to stamp the flower image around the left side of the card and then randomly stamp the leaves and squares to create a background. The leaves were stamped in varying shades of Flirty Flamingo and the squares which I love were stamped in Crumb Cake ink.
When I stamped the flowers along the card edge, I simple masked off the stamped flowers as I moved up the length of the card stock. I use Post It Notes to make my masks and I find if I'm careful handling the masks they can be used again. I store my masks inside the stamp case so they are always ready to use on other projects.
Don't you just love the large font used for this "Just Saying Hello" sentiment?
It's different and looks like I just wrote it in black ink. I think it worked well in setting the tone of this card.
I cut the coordinating circle layers with dies from Stitched Shapes and
Layering Circles Dies .
Sequins are super easy to add when you use Stampin' Ups! Take Your Pick tool and Mini Glue Dots. The Mini Glue dots really make them stay in place and let's face it sequins add a warm shimmer and a small pop of shine to the face of the card.
The Tasteful Touches stamp set is part of a new suite called In Good Taste. Look for it in Stampin' Ups! new Annual Catalogue which will be available on June 3rd. I know you'll love it too.
Happy Stamping!
