Hidey ho everyone! I'm here to share my latest project with you all! I really, really wanted to use the You Inspire Me stamp set. It's been sitting on my desk just waiting for the right moment. I finally had a great idea for it.
I started with a kraft colored piece of cardstock. Next I needed some colors to work with. I pulled several ink pads from Stampin Up--Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo, Mint Macaron and Soft Suede. I stamped the word "inspire" randomly on the cardstock with black ink. Next, I went in with some of the small sentiments that coordinate with inspire. These were stamped in assorted colors. Then to fill in the gap areas, I used several of the little stamps in the set to randomly stamp all over.
Once that was done I cut it out with a scalloped die. I sponged around all of the edges with the Rich Razzleberry ink. I wanted something to go along one side but I felt cardstock would block too much of the background. I pulled out a piece of heavy vellum. The plain vellum was just too stark and showed up as white. I searched through my Copics and pulled out RV69 which matched closely to the Rich Razzleberry ink. I colored the backside of the vellum so that it would be muted on the front.
I dug around and pulled out a border punch from EK Success. I cut both sides of the vellum and attached it to the kraft piece by wrapping it around to the back and gluing in place. Now that I had a background I needed more! I pulled out one of the little floral images from Grace's Little Notes. I stamped it onto watercolor paper using the Rich Razzleberry ink. I used a waterbrush to pull out the color into the flower petals. I used Mint Macaron and a waterbrush for the stem and leaves. I went around the entire image with the Soft Suede. Once the flowers were dry, I went back in and added a little more Razzleberry ink for a bit of shading. I attached the flowers using foam tape onto the kraft cardstock.
To complete the card I cut a piece of craft foam to put behind the entire piece of kraft cardstock. I adhered this to a Mint Macaron card base. For the finishing touches I colored over the flower with Wink of Stella and added a few sequins. I didn't have any matching sequins on hand so I pulled the white ones out of the Honeybee mix and colored them with Copics. Then I had a perfect match!!
I hope you enjoyed my project today!
