This is the second card that my local stampers made at class this week. The Perennial Lavender suite is just so pretty and hits all the right notes with the colors, images and coordination between all the products. I've probably used the Perennial Postage dies the most so far just because they work for so many different designs and the 12 dies means there is a size for every need!
I wanted to make sure my stampers got to use several patterns from the Perennial Lavender DSP and also because it's hard to pick just one to use so I designed a postage stamp collage look for this project!
We started with a Crumb Cake base, then used a layer of Lost Lagoon on which to arrange the DSP die cuts. We used 5 of the postage stamp dies and 2 pieces of DSP and used both sides for a nice variety. The smallest die cut is Fresh Freesia cardstock.
To make the two-toned lavender flowers we inked the stamp up with Fresh Freesia ink and before stamping it we used a sponge dauber and Gorgeous Grape ink and dabbed some darker ink directly onto the stamp. We huffed some hot breath on the stamp to make sure it was nice and moist and then stamped it on Basic White. The stem is stamped in Shaded Spruce.
Once the images were die cut they are popped on the card front with dimensionals. The sentiment from Perennial Postage stamp set is stamped in Gorgeous Grape and then fussy cut and also popped on dimensionals.
A baker's twine bow and a few Fresh Freesia tinsel gems finish off the details.
I think Painted Lavender bundle will be fantastic for Mother's Day and other spring cards. All of the products used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
