Now, on to my "Just for You" matchbook card which was created using the Stampin' Up! Adoring Hearts Stamp Set, Softly Stippled DSP and Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder, along with Artistic Mix Decorative Masks.
Calypso Coral cardstock is the card backing and Softly Sophisticated DSP as the main part of the card.
Champagne Iridescent Dots were used as the embellishments along the bottom and surrounding the focal image.
Vellum cardstock is the layer behind the focal image which was embossed using the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder.
Next, is a layer of Wild Wheat cardstock and finally the main focal image on Basic White.
The flower was stamped using Pebbled Path ink and colored using Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral inks with a Blender Pen. Using the blender pen, I dipped the pen into the ink pad, brushed off excess onto a scrap paper and lightly colored the image, starting in places where I wanted it darker and lightly blended the ink out to color each of the petals on the flowers. Darker ink was brushed onto the lines on the image to add more highlights on the flower. The same process was achieved with the leaves, starting at the base of each leaf and coloring outward.
Using the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and Calypso Coral ink, adding a little more detail on all the open white cardstock using a Blending Brush.
The sentiment was stamped with Pebbled Path ink.
Linen Thread was tied in a bow and adhered with a Mini Glue Dot.
This is a view of the card opened up which reveals both sides of the DSP.
The same technique was added on the Basic White inside the card.
DSP was also adhered on the envelope flap.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.
