Ooooooohhhhhh I LOVE this card! It's based on a card by Laura Beacham and I just had to make it and put my own spin on it. Let's go.....!
For the flowers I used out April Stamp of the Month: Love So Sweet. It's only available from April 1-30th and I know you're going to want one for yourself because it's SO pretty! There are so many images and sentiments to create with I know you'll use it time and again!
For the flowers I combined two techniques; one that causes a smeared look and the other giving a two tone color look. First I inked the image in Raspberry ink the usual way. Once the stamp was fully inked I pulled it across the stamp pad for the smeared look. Before stamping I then rolled the edges on the Pansy ink pad for the two tone look. THEN I stamped the image. Both techniques give a nice texture to the images either alone or together. All the images were cut out and arranged on the card front.
The background was made by using the Stitched Quilt Shapes thin Cuts (die cuts). I cut 4 squares, 6 large triangles and 2 small triangles. The base is 3" x 5". I started in the upper right corner with a small triangle and then just placing the rest of the shapes as needed. It's easy but takes a little time and it's totally worth it!
