It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This week’s theme is “Birthday Bonanza!” It’s MY birthday today, so thought it would be fun to see some virtual birthday cards!
FRAMED VIOLETS
Here’s a new set coming in the July Online Exclusives! It is SO pretty…I know I’ve mentioned that I have a beautiful violet plant that was my grandmother’s. She passed away about 20 years ago, so I’m amazed I have kept it alive this long! It just blooms it’s head off all the time, and it is a lovely purple color!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Gorgeous Grape cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock was added on top.
- A 2 x 5-1/4 strip of Violet Dreams DSP was added across the front.
- A 1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Peaceful Pine cardstock was added towards the bottom of the DSP.
- The oval from Framed Ovals Die was cut from Gorgeous Grape cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The violet cluster was stamped with Basic Black Hybrid Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Peaceful Pine and Darling Duckling Stampin’ Blends. It was cut with the die and added to the oval with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added to the stem with a Mini Glue Dot.
- A trio of Antique Pearls were added to the background.
