THE CARD YOU DON’T REALLY WANT TO NEED

Hello to each of you who pop by, either regularly or for the first time. I amvery grateful to each of you and I hope that my project inspires you.

Today I am featuring one of the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp sets, Delicate Dahlias. I used the Distinktive stamp for the feature image of this card. The two smaller floral images were used to stamp the two background layers of the card, one for each layer.

This card has a very simple layout which is great for inexperienced card makers. The Blackberry Bliss card base was stamped with one of smaller flower images using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The slightly smaller Blackberry Bliss layer was stamped with the other small floral image in black as well. The black is quite subtle against this rich purple colour.

The smaller layer had Black Stampin’ Dimensionals added to pop it up, adding dimension to the card.

I stamped the main Dahlia image using Blackberry Bliss on Basic White card. I used the same colour combination for the sentiment which is also from the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set. Both of these Basic White pieces were trimmed down to ‘fit’ the space of the card front.

The sentiment was positioned over a strip of Basic Black card.

One of the smaller floral images was stamped on the card insert and envelope. A few Matte Black Dots were then added to the front of the card.

I know that this is THE CARD YOU DON’T REALLY WANT TO NEED and yet it is always timely to have at least one on hand because we never know what life will throw our way.

I prefer to have some sympathy cards on hand because I don’t want to need to make one when I hear such news. Are you like me? Do you have some on hand? Or, do you make them as you need them?

I will try to share a more uplifting project tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.
