Terry Lynn Bright, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Hi Everyone – it’s a rainy Sunday. How the plants have loved the cool weather and Spring rains! It really helps them get established with strong roots, which leads to our roots. What are your strong roots? What is it that keeps you grounded? Great question, right? And one that requires some thought. I’m going to suggest you write those ideas down on paper. Writing them down helps confirm them, makes them more real, firms them in your head and can encourage action in one direction or another.

Today’s ‘action’ or creation is one where we create our own background and I’ve used a new bundle called Hand-Penned. It’s lovely and looks a bit like watercolor – it’s fluid. And I’ve coordinated two of the new In Colors: Polished Pink and Pale Papaya, which would not have occurred to me to do at one point. But I like this combo along with Flirty Flamingo. Let’s take a look.

I began by stamping the floral pattern randomly on a Basic White panel with Polished Pink ink. It’s a fairly large stamp so it only took a couple of times to cover the panel. Then I played with several filler colors before settling on stamped-off Flirty Flamingo ink. This took a bit of time to fill in all the areas – and I’ve said before I rather lean toward monochromatic. That means leaves and flowers all were stamped with the stamped-off once Flirty Flamingo ink. And notice it doesn’t fill in the entire leaf or flower – a bit like watercolors. Nor is it a perfect match for all the flowers – it’s fluid, giving it an easy look. Once done I played with colors for the mat, knowing I wanted a contrast but something soft, and settled on the Pale Papaya. What do you think? I really like it… it’s like a neutral that makes the pink pop but not too much. Because of the mat, I wanted to use more of that on the front to tie it in and chose to use one of the new ribbons: Pale Papaya & White 1/2″ ribbon and simply folded it back on itself. I attached it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal but could have used a glue dot or two just as easily. I then took the Penned Flower Dies and die cut one in Pale Papaya card stock. I stamped the sentiment in Polished Pink ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and die cut it with the Ornate Frames Dies. I die cut a background layer, again with the Ornate Frames dies, but in Polished Pink card stock. I popped the Basic White sentiment on with dimensionals, added dimensionals to the Polished Pink panel and layered it over the die cut flower flourish (which had been adhered with spots of liquid glue). For a bit of glam, I added three In Color Rhinestones in Pale Papaya. This entire front panel was adhered to the Polished Pink card base with dimensionals – and the front was done.

For the inside, I did the same as with the front: stamped the outline of the floral image with Polished Pink ink in the two corners of a Basic White panel, then stamped the filler stamps with stamped-off once Flirty Flamingo ink. I layered this on another Pale Papaya card stock then into the inside of the card – and the card was complete.

For the front of the envelope, I followed the same procedure: stamped the outline of the floral image in Polished Pink ink then used the filler stamps, stamped off once with Flirty Flamingo ink. Voila! I really really like this color combo! The Flirty Flamingo with the Polished Pink is a great combinations and using Pale Papaya as an off-set neutral worked.

I hope you like the card and have this Hand-Penned bundle as on your list for a first purchase. It is gorgeous.
