Welcome Friends! I have a couple of cards to share with you using the new Cottage Garden background stamp. Instead of coloring the background as I shared in a prior post, I heat embossed it. This background is beautiful any way you decide to create with it!
Hope Your Day is Wonderful
For the above card, start by blue heat embossing on Mirrors Cardstock. Trim down to 4×5-1/4 inches and color in a couple of the large flowers with white colored pencil. Adhere the panel to an A2 (4-1/4×5-1/2 inches white card base. Heat emboss the sentiment from Awesome & Wonderful stamp set on Midnight Cardstock and trim. Adhere the sentiment with foam adhesive and then add some rhinestones to the centers of the colored flowers. I think this background is quite pretty heat embossed on dark cardstock.
Life is a Beautiful Ride…..
My second card has a little more detail, but it is still fairly simple. I was inspired by the cute dog in the Beautiful Ride stamp set. It reminds me of our Morgan, who we had to put to rest last Summer.
Start by white heat embossing the Cottage Garden background on Mirrors cardstock and trim to 4×5-1/4 inches.
Create the sidewalk. Color a small piece of white cardstock using Twilight ink. Then stamp using one of the borders from the Strolling Borders stamp set. You will want to use two colors when stamping the border, Black Jack and Sand Castle. Trim and adhere to the bottom of the embossed panel.
Using the Beautiful Ride stamp set, stamp the bike, dog and flowers with Copic friendly ink on white cardstock. Color the images and then die-cut using the coordinating Beautiful Ride die-set. Arrange on the embossed panel with foam tape.
Stamp your sentiment on vellum and heat emboss. The sentiment is also from the Beautiful Ride stamp set. Adhere to the embossed panel.
Finally, adhere the completed panel to a white A2 (4-1/4×5-1/2 inches), top folding card base.
