Sending Positive Thoughts...

 

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing another card made with the Positive Thoughts stamps and the Nature's Thoughts Dies. I had such fun creating a butterfly card using these sets that I wanted to have a go at making a similar card, but different. So, I have used the same colour combination of Rococo Rose, Early Espresso and Crumb Cake but I have predominantly used floral images, instead of butterflies, as the focal point. You can see my butterfly card HERE.



I have used the Scripty embossing folder on a layer of Rococo Rose card and then coloured the edges using a Sponge Dauber and matching ink. This is mounted on to an Early Espresso layer and the Crumb Cake base.

The central panel is formed from a die cut Crumb Cake rectangle - I am sure this die is going to be well used. It is fast becoming a favourite! There is a spray of foliage stamped in Crumb Cake, as well as a few lighter (stamped off) images to fill in the background. Again, the edges are inked and it is mounted on to an Early Espresso layer, leaving a skinny border. It emphasises the inked edges, don't you think?


Flowers were stamped with either Early Espresso or Rococo Rose ink on Crumb Cake card and then die cut. The remaining embellishments were also die cut from Crumb Cake card - the small leaves even had a dusting of ink from the sponge dauber around the edges.

Liberal quantities of sparkle were added from the Wink of Stella Glitter pen - splatters on the background and painted over the petals of the flowers. When the light catches it the lustre is just lovely. The sparkly flowers are raised on Dimensionals so that the stalks of the foliage can be hidden underneath them. The sentiment is white heat embossed and fussy cut. All these different textures create a very tactile card - just like nature!
