Hey everyone! Back to share some more cards for Paper Smooches.
My first card uses my very favorite set from this release: Blossoming Buds.
I stamped the larger cluster of flowers in each corner to create a frame, and then colored it with Copics. It's really a very simple card to pull together. I added little pencil marks in the center of each of the sides to help with my positioning.
I also added an outline in gray around all of the images as well as the sentiment, from the Kudos set, to make them pop a bit.
My second card is a little more out there. I challenged myself to do something really out of the box with the Ghoulfriends set. I picked just one stamp.....the witch hat, stamped it a gazillion times, colored it, and fussy cut, and the used them to form these medallions. What do you think? Too weird for you or does it pass the test.
The 'you're' sentiment is from Blossoming Buds and I used one of the Kudos dies for the main sentiment. To create that sentiment piece I first die cut the word from gold foil cardstock, then I die cut it again from that thin strip of black cardstock. I used an identical strip as the base to piece it all back together. It's a little tricky to do, but I love how it looks.
That's all for me today. I'll have one more set of cards to share with you next week (my last week! sniff....). Thanks for stopping by!
