I used the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set to create this card.  It is a CAS(E) of Tina Gillespie’s OnStage Sydney presentation. Click here to see her card.  She created a beautiful card and I had to create one.

My challenge inspiration for today is The Card Concept — Loads of Lavender.  The lavender is my inspiration.

I started with a Night of Navy card base – 4 1/4″ x 8″ – scored at 1 1/4″ and 2 1/2″ from each short end – then folded in a “Z”.  I watercolored a panel of Basic White Thick card stock using Balmy Blue ink, Crumb Cake ink, and a Water Painter. After the watercolor dried,  I stamped a greeting in Tuxedo Memento Black ink along with the birds. I then cut panels and adhered to the card base.

I stamped the images from Beautiful Moments Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White Thick card stock and colored using Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Rococo Rose (soon to be retired) and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers.

After coloring, I fussy cut the images, using the largest to create the bridge on the card.  The other lilacs, I adhered in the background and around the base of the water.

The backside of the card has a Basic White card stock panel stamped with the lilacs from the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. They are colored using the same Stampin’ Blends Markers.

No envelope was created as I plan on keeping this card.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.
