You know that carefree feeling of being "caught up?" No? Me either. Ha! But I have had some extra free time recently to continue playing along with other challenges. Today I'm back with a card for the Inkspirational Challenge where they want to see cards with matching envelopes.
I have a little bin of new goodies that I keep to the side of my desk. This stencil and die set have sat there for ages untouched however they are virgins no more! I stenciled a panel of white cardstock with Weathered Wood and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide inks (I think I have found a new fav combo) and added some stenciling to the bottom corner of a colored envelope while I had it out. I then used the same colors, along with Spun Sugar, to blend out some white orchid die cuts that I arranged on white cardstock cut from a diamond die. The die also cuts a narrow frame which I added in silver metallic. The sentiment was heat embossed in silver as well. I had a few smaller florals left over so I added in a tag to go with the card/envie combo. I'm a bit extra like that. *wink* I did strongly consider adding my usual clear droplets but I thought this was busy enough.
I'm also sharing this over at Darnell's NBUS blog and these products will be filed in with the rest of my stash.
Supplies:
Waffle Flower - Layered Orchid stencil and dies
Sizzix - Geometric Winter die set
The Ton - Basic Sentiments stamp set
Sugar Pea Design - With Love tag die set
Thanks so much for visiting me here in my little corner of the blogosphere! Much appreciated.
