Sending Positive Thoughts again...

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today, is the last day to earn Sale-A-Bration rewards and to order producds from the Coordination Product Release. One of my favourite items from the Coordination Release is the Nature's Thoughts dies that coordinate with the Positive Thoughts stamps and I have used them both on my card today.

My inspiration came from The Paper Players challenge this week, which come in the form of a Tic Tac Toe grid. There are so many creative possibilities here, and I was drawn to the bottom row: pink, butterflies, flowers.

For my background I used a sponge brayer and Petal Pink ink over an aperture cut into a scrap piece of card using the largest Layering Circle die. Repeatedly rolling the brayer over the bottom of the circle gives a greater depth of colour, and a gentle shading from the bottom to the top.
 

Some of the images were stamped directly on to this background and others were stamped and die cut (of course they could be fussy cut instead!). The colours I used were Petal Pink and Basic Grey. In addition, the fern leaf was stamped on Vellum using StazOn ink and then die cut. I only used a couple of glue dots to attach the Vellum to the card to allow the majority of the fronds floating to give as a natural look as possible.

I think that this sentiment is perfect! It is stamped and heat embossed in black on a strip of Vellum which wrapped around the Whisper White layer and secured on the reverse. Don't forget to use your embossing buddy on the Vellum to help to prevent stray specs of black embossing appearing!

To complete the card, the last steps were to add Metallic Pearls to the butterflies and the centre of the flower plus some spaltters from my Wink of Stella Glitter pen. Of course there were!
