1 Card / 2 Versions

I have 2 versions of a very bright and pretty card for you today ... again, we're still using framelits dies to help create the cards.  Check these out and let me know which one you like the best.  

My color story is a beautiful one, based on the Designer Series Papers (DSP):
Pacific Point
Wild Wasabi
Daffodil Delight 

In real life, you can see a beautiful shimmer and sparkle to the flower petals.  My ink pad was nice and juicy so, while the ink was still wet from stamping, I sprinkled Iridescent Ice EP over it and heat embossed it.  I did not emboss the center of the flower, to give it contrasting textures.

I've coordinated the inside of each card as well as the envelopes, using DSP.  So... which one do you like the best?

Painted Petals with Gorgeous Sparkle

Here's a recipe for certain success in making a beautiful card.  First, create a beautiful focal piece.  Next, attach to a beautiful background.  Finally, add some cute little punched flowers.  Oh, and don't forget a coordinating envelope.

Let's take a look:

My color story is Melon Mambo, Whisper White, and Blackberry Bliss.

I wish you could see how shimmery the focal piece is in real life.  It's embossed with Iridescent Ice EP and is gorgeous, but just doesn't show up in a photo.  Mounting the oval piece onto a separate, embossed layer (Spring Flowers) really bumps up the card.

Oval Painted Petals Card

How about a beautiful Spring card today?  It is starting to feel like Spring and that makes my heart happy.

The color story --- Blackberry Bliss and Whisper White --- yummy!
My technique --- using watercolor paper --- stamp and gently spritz the flowers.
It's that simple.

I stamped the inside of the card and the corner of the envelope.

I'll be back in my next post with a a fabulous technique to try with watercolor paper.  I kind of made it up myself, so I had no rules... no guidelines... just fun!
