Delicate Perfection

 


As I was perusing the Sale-A-Bration Catalog (August-September 2021), I saw this gem with only using the leaves from the 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set. I changed a few things up to make the card my own, but the general inspiration was all Stampin' Up!'s. 

The intricate die-cut is so easy to adhere to the card using adhesive sheets. The process is this: Choose your cardstock and cut it down to the size you need. Next, take a piece of the adhesive sheet and pulling off the covering on one side (strips-side).... attach it to the cardstock you want to die-cut. Next die-cut the piece as you normally do (just place the adhesive side on the bottom). After die-cutting, peel the other side of the adhesive and adhere to your cardstock base.

The coloring of the images was done using Stampin' Blends markers. I stamped the leaves in Evening Evergreen and then colored them in using Soft Succulent.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Perfect Seashells

 


I almost forgot my Brother-in-law's birthday. Not sure how I did that as I tend to look at my physical calendar and my iphone calendar to make sure I got everyone within the month that I'm making cards. So... this is a rushed card, but it turned out so well. I can say that I'm getting better at coloring in images... not perfect yet, but getting there.

You can't see it in this photo, but the background piece, shells and seaweed all have a 'Wink of Stella' on them to make them shine.

Thanks for dropping by!
