Mondays always seem to be a slow start for me! After a morning of doing odds and ends around the house I found myself at lunchtime already and I hadn't even gotten a card shared yet! Maybe it's the cold gray weather that's making me slow?? We have snow on the ground but it's still a bit dreary without the sunshine. My card today is definitely not winter-like! It has a pastel spring time feel to it!
I made this one a week or 2 ago for a sketch challenge and then realized once I had the card all finished that it didn't end up following the sketch at all! Oh well! Sometimes having a screen up in front of me when stamping is a distraction and other times it seems necessary to stay on track!
I started this card with a Whisper White thick card base, then a layer of Soft Sea Foam embossed with the Old World Paper embossing folder.
On the main Whisper White panel I stamped the flower cluster from Sweet Strawberry and colored it in with Blends (colors listed below). Then I stamped this pretty sentiment from Friends Are Like Seashells in Versamark and embossed it in black. I edged 2 sides with stripes of the 2019-2021 In Color DSP in Purple Posy and then popped the whole panel up on the card front with dimensionals.
To bring in a bit more of the Purple Posy I added faceted gems to the four corners. I also had a leftover crinkled seam binding bow that I didn't use on another project so that went on the stem for the final embellishment.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
