HelIo again – it is April 30 – the final day of two catalogs: the Jan-Apr 2024 catalog and the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. decided to share one more card – or 3 – of the same layout, but in retiring papers… These cards use Forever Love 12×12 SDSP and Poetic Expressions DSP. + the Color & Contour bundle. Here they are…

Card 1 uses Pretty Peacock card base and is layered with Forever Love SDSP and Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper, Pretty Peacock Foil Gems and Gold ribbon. I used Stitched Shapes Dies to create the sentiment .

Card 2 uses Thick Basic White for the card base, a layer of Wild Wheat embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder, then the layers of Poetic Expressions DSP. This card uses the Textured Ribbon in Wild Wheat, the Color & Contour stamp set for the sentiment, die cut with the same Stitched Shapes Dies circle. This was embellished with the 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems in pink.

Card 3 is so similar… the difference is Wild Wheat card base and embellishments of 23-25 In Color Dots in Wild Wheat. Everything else is the same as card 2.

The inside of the cards are similar as well… a flower stamped then stamped again with a filler stamp w/ second generation ink. On the Pretty Peacock card, I added a layer of the Forever Love SDSP before adhering the inner panel – and of course the flower is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. The other two cards have no DSP layer for the inside, just the stamped panel in Wild Wheat and second generation ink for the flower ‘filler’.

The envelopes… Pretty Peacock ink was used to stamp the flower on both the envelope flap and the envelope front. On the other two cards I adhered Poetic Expressions DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit and stampoed the flower image in Wild Wheat ink. Finis.
