Easter Blossoms

February 8, 2011 By Connie | 5 Comments

You know when you have a thought in your head that you think will work…but it doesn't come out how you imagined it?  That's what happened with this card!  Although it wasn't what I originally had in mind, I liked how it turned out.

 

 

 

On this card, I started by stamping the cherry blossom branch from Easter Blossoms with Early Espresso Classic Ink on Springtime Vintage Designer Paper.  Then I used a White Gel Pen to color in the blossoms…it is a very cool look!  I distressed the edges with the Distressing Tool, curled the corners and then layered it on Early Espresso cardstock.  I distressed the edges of it, too!

 

I ran the Soft Suede thru the Big Shot with the Finial Press Impressions Folder and rubbed on Early Espresso Classic Ink on the raised areas.  I placed it on a base card of Blushing Bride cardstock.  I added a strip of Rose Red cardstock.  I made a bow of Very Vanilla 3/8 Taffeta Ribbon and put a Vintage Brad in the center and added it to the front with Mini Glue Dots.  Finally, I added You're A Gem from the You're A Gem stamp set, stamped with Early Espresso Classic Ink.

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Connie , I just love your blog you never cease to amaze me .  This card reminds me of old vintage wallpaper you found in your grandmother's home and you place it on a card to honor her. Thanks for sharing 🙂

    I just love how you stamped the blossom image on the DSP.  The gel pen tip is too cool. Awesome and totally gorgeous as always
