Love & Affection

Love & Affection — that’s what’s on my mind today (heehee).
Actually, it’s the name of a new stamp set and it’s what we used for today’s card.
Another great item used is the Affectionately Yours Specialty Paper.
I just love the Copper accents in this paper.

Love & AffectionWe started with a Watermelon Wonder base — 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
Then a few layers (I do love the layers).
Early Espresso — 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
Very Vanilla — 3 3/4″ x 5″
Early Espresso — 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″

Then we add that fabulous Affectionately Yours designer paper
Watermelon Wonder design — 1 1/4″ x 3 1/2″
Copper design — 2″ x 3 1/2″

A 2″ Early Espresso circle
Very Vanilla circle cut using the Layering Circles framelits.

The banners are:
Very Vanilla — 3/4″ x 3 1/4″ — trim banner end with Paper Snips
Watermelon Wonder — 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ — trim banner end with Paper Snips

On to some stamping:
stamp the flower image on the Vanilla circle with VersaMark and pour on Copper embossing powder — heat with the Heat Tool.

Repeat this same process stamping the greeting and tiny flower
and emboss with the Copper embossing powder.
Assemble the card adding dimensionals under the
Early Espresso circle and the right side of the banner.
I did put a little snail on the left side of the banner.

Falling Flowers

Falling Flowers — have you checked out this bundle yet.  Remember, you save 10% when you purchase the products in their bundles.  I love to save money on something I love.
I used the Falling Flowers stamp set and the coordinating May Flowers Framelit.
This was a favorite color combination at the class.  I’ve used it a couple times already.
It’s the new In Color, Sweet Sugarplum with Smoky Slate and Whisper White — love it.

Falling Flowers
The card base is Sweet Sugarplum — 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
Next a layer of Smoky Slate — 4″ x 5 1/4″
Whisper White — 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″

We stamped the flower image with Smoky Slate ink and color in with Blender Pens and Pear Pizzazz and Sweet Sugarplum stamp pads.

Then I cut out the leaf from Pear Pizzazz cardstock.
The flower is cut from Sweet Sugarplum.
I attached these with the Fine Tip Glue and added a pearl in the center of the flower.
