Earlier this week we had my husband’s cousin and her partner visiting from Canada and they were fascinated with my Big Shot……… who isn’t!!! I cut a few pieces out using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and Beautiful Layers framelit dies to demonstrate how it worked and decided to use them to make a card today. So this card is for you Helen and T.J.

Making the Beautiful Promenade card

I began by placing the Whisper White die cut doily onto a 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Lifting the doily to one side I stamped the striped flower image twice using 2^nd generation Coastal Cabana ink so that the stamped flowers would be partially covered by the doily. 2^nd generation means inking up your stamp then stamping it onto scrap paper – I use Grid Paper – then stamping again without re-inking onto your project which gives you a lighter shade of the original colour.

At this point I decided that the background was too stark so ran the Soft Sea Foam panel through my Big Shot using the Tufted embossing folder.

I took the flower I had stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock then die cut using my Big Shot and the Beautiful Layers dies. I stamped the striped flower overtop of the die cut image. I then stamped 3 lots of leaves in Gray Granite ink and die cut them out. I stamped the sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set in Gray Granite ink into the centre of the doily and started putting the card together.

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the embossed Soft Sea Foam layer to a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5½“ by 3¾” and added this to the Bermuda Bay card base. I added a strip of Gray Granite cardstock 4⅛” by ⅜” to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added the doily on top using tiny pieces of Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flower was then added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive  and the leaves tucked in behind. To finish the card off I added a few Glitter Enamel Dots.

Such a soft, pretty card. I hope you like it.
