Hello and welcome to another fun Social Stamping Blog post!
I hope you are having a good week and that you and your family are keeping well!
Friend is the theme for this week and I chose the gorgeous Tropical Oasis Suite to create my card for this challenge. We all could do with a holiday somewhere warm and relaxing! For now we just have to stay home and be patient as much as possible. I have enjoyed watercoloring this week as I find it relaxing. Something I love to do. You could colour the images in with Stampin' Blends as well if that is what you enjoy or have on hand.
- Cut a Melon Mambo card base. 21cm x 14.9 scored and folded in half.
- Cut two Shimmery White matt layers to measure 14.4cm x 10cm.
- Using the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder run one of the 14.4cm x 10cm through your die cutting machine. Then cut this piece down to measure 14.1cm x 9.7cm.
- Glue the tow Shimmery White layers together with glue then glue both to the card base with the embossed layer at the top.
- Cut a piece of the Shimmery White card stock to 14cm x 3cm. Stamp the friendship sentiment in Saddle Brown Stazon™ ink and die cut with the Ornate Layers Stitched Rectangle Die.
- On some spare Shimmery White card stock stamp the flower and two leaves in Saddle Brown Stazon™ ink.
- Colour with Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green Watercolour pencils and an Aquapainter.
- Die cut these images with the coordinating dies from the In The Tropics Dies.
- Using dimensionals pop the sentiment up on the Coastal Weave layer.
- Arrange the flower and leaves to the left of the sentiment and use dimensionals to secure and pop up these die cuts.
