Stampin Up Kindness Matters

Posted on April 17, 2013 by Beverly

Stampin' Up! Kindness Matters With Stampin’ Up!’s stamp set for the month of April being the Best of Butterflies, I have another butterfly card to share. This one features the Stampin Up Kindness Matters Stamp Set along with the Flowering Flourishes. Because the Not Quite Navy color is designated to retire soon, I decided to use Not Quite Navy Card Stock for my card base. Cajun Craze Card Stock is the first layer of the card.

Have you ever seen Not Quite Navy floral stems? Well, now you have. I thought Not Quite Navy floral stems would add a different touch and pull in the color of the card base. Isn’t that one of the things that is so nice about art? You don’t have to be true to reality.

Secret Garden Stamp Set Stampin’ Up!

SECRET GARDEN STAMP SET – STAMPIN’ UP!

Secret Garden Stamp Set and Watercoloring

I certainly hope that Stampin’ Up!’s Secret Garden Stamp Set is carried over in the upcoming 2013-2014 Annual Catalog. I have found myself gravitating to this stamp set quite often when making cards.

Today’s card features two stamp images from the Secret Garden Stamp Set. I stamped the floral and leaves images from the stamp set onto a piece of Stampin’ Up!’s Watercolor Paper.

Secret Garden Stamp Set I stamped on Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry Card Stock and cut out the three butterflies on the card front. The butterflies are from the Kindness Matters Stamp Set.

The beautiful flower that is featured on the card front was stamped on the watercolor paper using Jet Black StazOn Ink. I then water colored it with the Stampin’ Up! Rich Razzelberry Classic Ink. After water coloring the flower, I masked it and stamped the stem and leaves from the Secret Garden Stamp Set. Secret Garden Stamp Set - Water Coloring The sentiment, Happy Birthday (from the Apothecary Stamp Set), was stamped onto the watercolor paper with VersaMark Ink and then embossed with Gumball Green Embossing Powder. I hope you enjoy it.
