Yes, here I go again - posting my second card in one day for the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop! I just can't seem to help myself, there are so many beautiful cards linked up that inspire me to keep creating! I guess I must be in the mood for vintage/shabby chic today since both cards are done in browns with just a touch of pink!
Here's I how put this card together:
- Stamped the 5015-P, Postcard stamp (Repeat Impressions) in Walnut Stain Distress Oxide (Ranger) on coffee stained paper
- (To see how I create my coffee stained paper, visit THIS post)
- using sponge daubers, I inked the edges with walnut stain distress ink
- added a strip of lace across the bottom
- stamped a sentiment from Bible Journaling Stamps (American Crafts) on a manila card stock, inked the edges, lightly colored in the heart with a Prismacolor Pencil, and used a square punch to create a banner edge
- printed off a tag from Tea Time Tags (byJLeeloo)
- changed the color of the tea cup and re-printed it, popping it up with mounting tape
- added a burlap string bow to the top
- created some flowers by:
- gluing a dictionary page to white card stock
- inked up the paper with Picket Fence Distress Stain (Ranger)
- the pink one is inked up with Orange Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, and Picket Fence distress stain
- die cut it with the Tattered Florals Die (Sizzix)
- added pearls to the center
- die cut swirls with the Scribbles Swirls Die (Sizzix)
- added some pink pearls to the top corner
- spritzed the entire card with Blush Color Shine (Heidi Swapp)
