Today’s sweet looking card is another use of the Blooms & Bliss DSP and is a complete departure from the green card I showed the last post (which you can see HERE! ). As usual once I start on a pack of DSP, the ideas start coming! I used the Love & Affection set because I thought I did not have the Blooms & Wishes set I later found out I did! I hate it when cannot even remember what I do and don’t have! It is not a good sign. 🙂
This card uses a simple color scheme of Blushing Bride and Sweet Sugarplum. The stamped flowers required a lot of masking to get the look. When it came time to add the sentiment, I really wanted something small. The unusual shape was created using the Decorative Label Punch.
To make the unusual shape, I stamp the sentiment and then punch it out over the sentiment. Then tack it onto a piece of copy paper with some removable adhesive and punch out where I want it under the sentiment. Then I clip the “funny parts” off the shape. For the backing, I punch out another piece. Then trace the shape of the sentiment shape on copy paper and tack that on the backing where I want it and use that to punch out the other side. This clip off the “funny parts” again and there you have it! Punches are so versatile for cutting out unusual shapes.
