TLC322....thinking of you


Good Tuesday Morning Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made with the Splitcoast Technique Lovers Challenge . This week the challenge is to stamp in the die.  All you have to do is stamp your image using a background stamp or any other large image that will cover the whole die so the unstamped edge under the die creates the frame. ....easy peasy!!!


My base is a 5 inch by 10 inch piece of Blushing Bride card stock, folded in half. I followed that up with some crumb cake and then the DSP is from the Paisley Patterns paper pack. I then put this layer through my big shot using an extra large EF. The main image piece was easy, I used a round nestabilities and very vanilla card stock. I left the die in place and stamped my french script BG stamp onto the card stock, while the die was still in place i sponged around the edges with crumb cake ink. I stamped the flower branch from the Easter Blossom stamp set with timber brown stazon ink . I then used my aqua painter to color in the flowers with some blushing bride ink. I matted this piece with a scallop circle of crumb cake card stock. I used some crumb cake and very vanilla seam binding ribbon to make my bow.

I added the small layered butterflies in the top of the circle to cover a smudge. I then added the sentiment piece and an antique brad. I put two small basic pearls in the center of the butterfly and in the upper right corner.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

It is so lovely. I am amazed at the brads on that butterfly. I had no idea those were brads.
