Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store.
My card share today features the greetings from the new Blessed Stamp Set. This is a great mix and match greeting stamp set. The flowers and leaves from the Freestyle Florals Stamp Set are the perfect pairing for this sympathy card.
The flowers and leaves from the Freestyle Florals Stamp Set were stamped on watercolor cardstock using Jet Black Archival Ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The individual marker colors are linked below in supplies and shown in the upper left corner of the screen in the how to video. After the florals were colored in and the ink had dried, I used the coordinating Freestyle Florals Creative Cuts dies to die cut them.
On a piece of smooth white cardstock I stamped the word "prayers" from the Blessed Stamp Set using the Hero Arts Ombre Light to Dark Peach Ink. The phrases above and below the word "prayers" were stamped with the Hero Arts Ombre Gray to Black Ink.
The white cardstock was die cut with one of the Sew Fancy Creative Cuts frames, the florals adhered in the lower right corner of the rectangle and the excess trimmed off. The panel was adhered to a white card base with foam adhesive.
