Thinking Of You

It's Saturday, wahoo!

I got a little crafting in last night, and wanted to not only make another Washi Tape card for the Gallery Idol competition, but participate in the latest Avery Elle challenge: Botanicals.  If you know me and my creations, you know I love florals. 


My favorite floral set from Avery Elle would have to be their Thanks A Bunch set.  It takes a bit of time, but the end result is fab!  So, for this card, I went super simple with the tape.  Using a sheet of tape and trimming it down, I adhered it to the card base, and then on the panel, popping that up to get a dimensional effect.


I stamped my bouquet offset with pigment ink.  I stamped the light color first, and then with a sponge dauber, added darker shades of ink onto the inked image.  I then stamped the tag and sentiment, cut it out and popped it up.  A little black embroidery floss tied into a bow completed the look.  It's hard to see in the photo, but I added some Wink of Stella to the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great weekend, friends!

  8. I already love this card- like the idea of daubering the colour- looks so much better than when I try the same thing with a whole ink pad! Must remember that tip!!
