Summer Blues...

Happy Wednesday,

A sample form my recent stamp launch shows today using the Nasturtiums trying to keep in the summary feel!

Today's offering is an actual card, rare for me not being just a front but we have to change it up sometimes and I loved the ease and simplicity of this one.

I stared by stamping the leaves, large and medium flowers from the Nasturtium elements clear set onto coconut white card using watering can archival ink.  Next I "coloured' the flowers using frosted aqua and sky colour cloud blending ink and a smoothie.  I then simply fussy cut these out and shaded around the edges with more of the colour cloud ink and a mini smoothie adding matching Frosted sky PVA pearls in the centres of the flowers.

Next I cut a panel to fit the front of the A5 card black and embossed it with the rambling rose embossing folder.  I shaded the edges using frosted sky colour cloud and added this to the front of the card.  I cut the smallest tag from the Spellbinder fancy ribbon threader die and threaded some seam binding, coloured with the colour cloud, through the side and tied a simple bow.  I stamped the sentiment, from the same set, and shaded the piece whilst in the die.

Finally I made up the card as shown using the branches form the Spellbinders cherry blossom die to anchor the flowers around the top left corner placing the tag in the centre.

A simple card that is quickly made but that hopefully invokes a summery and light feel.

Enjoy...
