Good morning! It’s Monday and another week begins. Hope you have plans to craft a day or two this week. My card today is super simple – not so many layers. It’s made with a new stamp set bundle called Thoughtful Wishes.
I began by stamping this leaf ‘stalk’ from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic White piece. I colored in the leaves with Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends then die cut it with the appropriate Thoughtful wishes Dies. I pulled out an acrylic block and covered it with Peach Pie ink (NEW IN COLOR & GORGEOUS) with the brush tip of my Stampin’ Blends. I spritzed it with alcohol to give it a watery look and stamped it on a larger piece of Basic White. It takes a minute to dry completely so I used half dimensionals to put on the back of my leaf stalk and adhered it on top of the stamped image. It gave it a great background! I then chose a sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and stamped it in Mossy Meadow ink. For embellishments, I pulled out the Blooming Pearls and added three. This panel was secured to a Peach Pie card base and the front was finished. As I said, very, very simple.
For the inside… I stamped this very sweet image from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set all across the bottom of the Basic White panel. This was adhered to the inside of the card.
For the envelope I wanted to keep this simple too, so I stamped just a portion of the same leaf stalk from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink.
Now, let me tell you, this stamp set is part of a suite of products: Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP and another package of SDSP in 12 x 12 – just stunning watercolor images on the 6×6 and more elegant papers in the 12×12 SDSP.
