Before our recent trip east, I managed to create two cards with the “Thoughtful Expressions” Bundle. The stamp set has nice word greetings along with a beautiful Hummingbird image, but I absolutely LOVE the coordinating dies in this bundle!
The card base is Mossy Meadow and the other colors are White, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. For this card, I embossed a piece of Vellum with the “Softly Sophisticated” Embossing Folder from the SALE a-bration offerings. This embossing folder AND the “Softly Sophisticated” Stamp Set are one of the FREE SALE a-bration items when you spend $100 during this annual promotion. HERE is another previously created card that also had an “embossed” layer of vellum.
Two different sizes of the “stitched” round shapes from the “Thoughtful Expressions” Dies were used for the layered greeting. I die cut the larger shape from the “Poetic Expressions” DSP. The larger floral image was stamped, colored with “Blends” and die cut along with two of the smaller floral image. The larger floral is lifted on “Dimensionals” and the two smaller images are tucked underneath the larger floral spray.
The flower centers are colored and then have “Wink of Stella” added for a subtle shimmer. To complete this card, a small “White Baker’s Twine” Bow was added. This card is quite stunning IRL.
