Secret Garden and Fabulous Florets – Stampin’ Up!

Secret Garden and Fabulous Florets - Stampin' Up!

I love this card that I made!  It features the Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden and Fabulous Florets Stamp Sets.  This card also features the Masking Technique.  I had to do a lot of masking to get the effect I wanted, especially for the floral stems.

Do you get the correlation between the card’s sentiment and the stamped images?  There are multiple pinkish flowers and one turquoise flower on the card.  Thus, the “There’s Only One You” sentiment is quite fitting.  Don’t you agree?  The sentiment is from the recent Sale-a-bration Vintage Verses Stamp Set. Secret Garden and Fabulous Florets - Stampin' Up!

As it relates to the positioning of the card stock layers, the design for this card is quite similar to the card I shared yesterday. 

The card base is made with Regal Rose Card Stock.  The Basic Black Card Stock and Tempting Turquoise Card Stock are the same size as the Real Red and Basic Black Card Stock on yesterday’s card.

I typically do not show the envelope I make for my cards; however, I have recently.  I think a matching envelope is necessary for a complete package.

Can you see the very light gray around the flowers and stems?  The purpose of this is to create shadows that would be cast if the light were coming from the top-right side.  This technique also creates dimension for the objects.

Stampin’ Up! Fabulous Florets – Doodling

This week’s postings will feature Stampin’ Up! greeting cards featuring doodling.  I’ve enjoyed doodling for some time, and it’s a good stress reliever.  Today’s card spotlights doodling on two of the stamp images from the Stampin’ Up! Fabulous Florets Stamp Set.  Because I doodled in black ink, the card is basically black and white.  When I started to make the card, I thought of a friend who I met last year on the Auto Train while traveling from Florida to Virginia.  She loves black and white cards.  So this card is dedicated to you, Ginny!

The base for the card is Stampin’ Up! Basic Black Cardstock that I embellished with the Stampin’ Up! Petals-A-Plenty Embossing Folder.  I highlighted the flower centers with a White Gel PenThe first card layer is made with the new, beautiful Stampin’ Up! cardstock color, Lucky Limeade, from the new In-Color CollectionThe top layer is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Cardstock.  The three-loop bow was made from Stampin’ Up! Basic Black 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon.  You may purchase the Stampin’ Up! products used in this project by clicking on the links within the post.  They will take you directly to the product.
