Happy Friday everyone!! I am here with a card for the
CardMaker Magazine Blog Hop. You should have hopped here from Gaylynn's blog "
Neat Nook Creations."
For this hop, we were to use flowers on our creations. I created a card combining CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "
Full on Floral" stamp set with "
Sassy Smiles" and a few Fri-dies.
I started off my card by stamping the "
Full on Floral" stamp in red onto a top folding, A2 aqua card base. I love these two colors together and decided to use them after seeing a dress I liked while I was on vacation. I made a mental note to come home and use this color scheme on a card.
I then die cut the "smile" sentiment using CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "
Smiling Fri-Dies" out of a piece of red card stock. I adhered it to the card front saturating it with a clear sparkle pen and a coat of glossy accents.
While the die cut was drying, I masked a sentiment from the "
Sassy Smiles" stamp set and stamped it in red onto a strip of aqua card stock. I adhered this sentiment strip under the "smile" die cut using foam adhesive.
I thought the card needed something more so I then die cut some flowers using CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "
Friendly Flowers" and "
Fun-Fetti Fri-Dies" out of the same red card stock as the sentiment. (Really difficult to tell this in my photos but the shiny was really hard to photograph!!)
Like the sentiment, I coated the flowers with clear sparkle pen and Glossy Accents. When the flowers were dry, I added an aqua pearl onto each flower.
This card was extremely simple to make and would be fun to mass produce for a card set. Who doesn't like getting a card that says smile? I tend to use these the most and send them out just to cheer somebody up.
