Stampin with Shirley G

Happy Friday everyone, do you have great plans for the weekend? Or is it just a time to rest and relax and preparing for the coming week?  For me rest, sitting with an ill person all week is so tiring especially when you are an old person, but I would have it no other way.  Have a fun weekend whatever you choose to do.

My card today features two of my favorite stamp sets, Quite Curvy and Tranquil Thoughts.  This was an easy card to create, but I changed the design for the art piece three times before I was satisfied with how it looked. Have you ever had that happen?

My inspiration for today’s card is the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #412.

Start with a Basic White card stock base. Layer a panel of Basic White card stock embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder to the card base using Multipurpose Glue.

Colorwash a panel of Basic White card stock using Seaside Spray ink and a Blending Brush.  These brushes make color washing so easy.  The ink seems to glide onto the card stock.  After coloring, cut three strips and mat using Night of Navy card stock.  Adhere to the embossed panel.

Crop an oval using the largest one from the Stitched Shape Dies. Stamp the garland of flowers from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink onto the oval.  Color using Rococo Rose and Granny Apple Green Stampin Blends Markers. Stamp a greeting from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink between the garlands on the oval.

Crop a Basic White card stock butterfly using a Brilliant Wings Die and color wash with Highland Heather ink.  Pop onto the oval.

The first oval I cropped ended up being too small for the card front so I am using it on the sentiment panel for the greeting.  The greeting is from the Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. Adhere the oval to the panel, then stamp using black ink the garland from the Quite Curvy Stamp Set above and below the oval. Color using Stampin Blends in the same color as the front.

The medium Basic White envelope flap gets a panel of Oh So Ombre DSP. 

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

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.  Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.  Have a blessed day!
