Quiet Meadow Thank You card for Kylie's International Project Highlights - December 2022

Hello and welcome to my blog. This is my card to entry to Kylie Bertucci's International Project Highlights for December 2022 - the theme is Thank you. If anyone ever asks me what my favourite colour is I always say either blue or purple. However, recently I have made a few cards using shades of green and I've really enjoyed using them. So, today I picked out a stamp set that I hadn't inked up for a while and a selection of greens and set to work to make this thank you card.

Of late, the weather in the UK has been dull and dreary and a bit cold. Using my Quiet Meadow stamps has lightened my mood - and I'm now thinking of brighter, sunnier days bursting with flowers. 

The starting point for my card was a panel of Basic White card that I stamped with a floral spray using Old Olive ink. Next, I added the scripty detail and the single flowers using Pear Pizzazz ink. I stamped off onto scrap paper before adding the image to the panel to create a lighter impression. Also, I literally stamped off the edge of the panel to only add parts of the flower and script to create width. I added a haze around the flower heads using the splatter stamp and Soft Sea Foam ink and scattered some tiny single flowers in Soft Succulent.

To add some depth and texture I ran the stamped panel through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine with the Timeworn Type embossing folder, added some die cut foliage and a trio of Festive Pearls in Soft Succulent. I added the Thank You sentiment, from the Nature's Harvest set, to a die cut banner secured with linen thread. I've also added a double bow using linen thread - no bouquet should be complete without a bow! The narrow Old Olive frame completes the panel before mounting it onto a top folding Thick Basic White card base. This card reminds me of sepia photos in ancient albums; only in green! I hope you like it too.
