This card was made using the Pocket Silhouettes set. It is a set of 6 stamps, 4 different flowers, and 2 sayings. It is just so cute and simple--I Love it! I used two of the new In-Colors, Pink Pirouette, and Kiwi Kiss, a very elegant combination, don't you think?

I started out with light pinks on this one, but felt like I needed a more bold contrast. This set is the Upsy Daisy set of 4 stamps. The flowers are all one stamp, and then there are 3 different sentiments. To achieve the faded look on the flowers, I inked the stamp with Pirouette Pink (the lightest pink), and then used Sponge Daubers and Ruby Red Ink to blend the colors. Then I daubbed with the light pink again around the edges of the Top Note die cut shape. Notice the faux stitching around the die cut, those are made when you cut the shape. How cool is that! To create the layering, I just cut another Top Note from Ruby Red cardstock and cut it in half and adhered it to the back. The ribbon is the new Riding Hood Red Taffeta, and the flower brad in the "O", is one of the new Designer Brads from the Flower Assortment. I colored the petals by using my reinkers mixed with Crystal Effects. The printed paper is from DSP Bella Rose.

All of the samples I've been sharing with you will be on display at our After Convention Celebration, so you can see them up close and personal.

Have a Great Day!
