Hello. I made a card to say 'Thank You' to those ladies who placed orders @ Ashley's KEEP Collective party. {smile} The ladies she invited were funny, personable, and friendly.
The wonderful ladies over @ The Paper Players have a current challenge that fit this bill! Their theme for their current challenge is to create a clean and simple card with a Spring theme! Yahoo!
And, the wonderfully talented ladies over @ Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge have a similar challenge: Welcome Spring, and use ribbon, lace, or trim on your project. Easy!
and here is what I made:
Recipe: I used crumb cake card stock for the card base. The matt is made with crisp cantaloupe card stock. I just love this color. It's a softer version of the Coral.
I stamped the floral image in Black detail ink, on to white shimmer card stock. I used re-inkers to water color the blossoms with aqua painter. I used crisp cantaloupe, pink pirouette, blushing bride, coral, pear pizzazz, and pistachio pudding.
Once the blossoms were water colored, I sprayed the panel with a shimmer mist. I really wanted the sparkle! Finally, I hand-stamped the 'thank you' from the hand-scripted stamp set by Amuse Studio in Basic Black classic ink.
I used my paper piercer to create two tiny holes on each side of the blossom stems, and strung a thin, sheer, coral ribbon, and tied a simple, single bow. I wanted another embellishment, so I added a trio of marshmallow sequins. The water colored panel was adhered to the cantaloupe card stock with foam tape.
I plan on dropping these beauties in the mail, once I hear from KEEP Collective, that Ashley's party orders have been shipped. {smile} I hope the ladies really do love their cards and unique jewelry. {smile}
