Oh my goodness – Spring is here… and yet, it was 28 degrees at 5 AM this morning. What gives! My card today uses the wonderful Everyday Details stamp set. It has some beautiful images and some nice sentiments as well, mixed fonts which I really like. Let’s take a peek.

This is a Basic White Notecard – so 3 1/2 x 5 in size. I stamped the nest image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a piece of Vellum Basics 12×12 SDSP then heat set it. Here’s the reason it needed to be heat set… inks on Vellum tend to stay wet for quite a bit and can therefore smear. Ask me how I know that! :O( The next step was to pull out the Sentimental Park Dies and die cut this beautiful banner. I stamped it in Early Espresso ink with a sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set. With the Sentimental Park Dies still on my desk, I die cut several flowers in Petal Pink and adhered them in place. I used teeny tiny pearls from a retired set called Metallic Pearls. I adhered the Vellum to the notecard base with Stampin’ Seal so it wouldn’t show – under the die cut banner.

On the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink, then added several die cuts from the Sentimental Park Dies, both in Basic White and Balmy Blue.

On the envelope I stamped the sentiment from Everyday Details stamp set in Early Espresso ink – and that was it. This stamp set is retiring soon, end of April, so get yours while you can!
