HAND-PENNED PETALS
I used the NEW Hand-Penned Bundle and a few new In Colors on my card today. It will be in the brand new Annual Catalog that demos can preorder now, and customers beginning May 4th! It is gorgeous and has coordinating DSP. I used one of the neutral patterns in the DSP for the background on my card!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Polished Pink cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Hand-Penned DSP was added to the front of a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White.
- The Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon was wrapped around and tied in a knot.
- The Basic White layer was added to the base card.
- The largest Layering Circle Die was cut from Basic White, then stamped with the Hand-Penned Petals image in Memento Black Ink. It was colored with Polished Pink, Peach Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. The circle was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The Scallop Trim Die was cut from Polished Pink cardstock, trimmed to 3-1/4, then added to the front. with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A 5/8 x 2-3/4 piece of Peach Papaya cardstock was stamped with the greeting from Hand-Penned Petals in Memento Black, then added on top.
- Two Genial Gems were added to the background.
