The floral image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured using Blending Brushes and the Thankful Garden Masks. I added Bubble Bath ink to the flowers. The trick is to lightly add it with mask 1, a little more Bubble Bath ink with mask 2 to layer up the colour. With mask 3 I used Berry Burst ink to add the detail. The leaves were coloured with Old Olive, lightly with mask 1 and another layer with mask 2. The image was then die cut using the Thankful Garden Dies.

Unbounded Beauty Notecard Wallet – Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – 1

Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop where we are showcasing notecard gift sets. I have used the lovely Unbounded Beauty designer series paper (dsp) and a new stamp set called Layered Thoughts stamp set, which will be available in the new Annual Catalogue next month to make my notecard and holder. I was inspired by this video on YouTube video by Julie Davison  

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate the notecard holder, you will need:

Unbounded Beauty dsp – 12” by 12” – scored at 1¾” and 5¾” then rotated 180° and score again at 1¾” & 5¾”. Rotate 90° and score at 2½” and 8¼”.

 

Fold and burnish on all the scorelines. Fold the two 1¾” side panels to the back so that the reverse of the paper is showing and fold down each corner. Fold the two centre scorelines inward to form the spine of the notecard wallet.
