Just Saying Hello

Hi lovely

Welcome to my weekly blog, where I hopefully give you inspiration to create your own beautiful handmade cards.

This weeks card is created with the beautiful In Good Taste Suite. I stamped the background using the technique tone on tone. This is where you stamp images in the same ink colour as the cardstock. I am so in love with the feather in this stamp set, you can stamp it in any colour and it looks like you have hand painted it. Follow the card recipe below or design your own, either way enjoy the process and create a beautiful handmade card.

CARD RECIPE

1. Card base, Crumb Cake cardstock, 14.9 x 21cm

2. Stamp bunch image in the same ink colour as the card base. This is Crumb Cake ink.

3. On a scrap piece of paper stamp the feather image in Night of Navy and fussy cut out.

4. On a piece of Vellum cardstock stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy and then using the Tasteful Label Dies cut out to create a frame.

5. Take two pieces of the In Good Taste DSP, flag one piece and angle another. Layer these onto card to the right hand side and using Stampin' Seal. Place a small piece of Petal Pink cardstock on top of these.

6. I used both Braided Linen Thread and Linen Thread. The Braided Linen Thread I placed across the DSP and the Linen I made a bow to place at the right hand side of the card. Use glue dots to place both onto card.

7. When adhereing the Vellum place Tom Bow glue to the left hand side as the feather will hide the glue and one dot to the right hand side which will be hidden by the wooden embellishment.

8. Place the feather over top the Vellum using dimensionals.

9. Take 3 wooden embellishments In Good Taste Elements around the card making sure one goes over the glue dot on the Vellum.

10. Inside card use Whisper White Cardstock, 14.4 x 10cm and decorate.

11. Don't forget to decorate the envelope.

Happy Crafting
