Ippity Stamps Blog Hop
Good morning everyone! Once again I have two cards to share with you. One card is clean and simple and the other is a card based on a sketch from Card Patterns. On my first project I originally made this vellum flower to use on another card. However, once the card was completed, it just didn't look quite right. When I saw this weeks sketch from Card Patterns, I thought the flower would work much better with this sketch. So I took my first card apart and this is the card I created.
I think this card turned out much better than my first one! To make the flower, I used the Tattered Florals die from Tim Holtz. I cut out each layer of the flower three times from vellum. I then stamped each cut with white Palette ink using the Thoughts From the Past background stamp by Ippity. I love how just a little bit of text appears on each layer. I then layered all the parts of the flower and attached them with a brad. Each layer was folded upward to give the flower some dimension. The leaves were also stamped on vellum using the leaf stamp from Now and Always. The sentiment came from another Ippity stamp set, Totally Happy. I used Making Memories paper, a Martha Stewart border punch and a few plum colored rhinestones to finish the card.
My next card is really simple. I think the eye chart stamp from Party Hat Wishes is brilliant, but I'm never quite sure how to use it. Most of the time I get overly creative with it and sometimes it just doesn't work. So I decided to make a really simple card with this stamp and here is the end result.
This stamp is so unique I think it can really stand on its own. I used Memory Box card stock for the card base, stamped the image with Burnt Umber Palette ink, then matted it with chocolate paper and added this chocolate and white ribbon.
That's all for today. Next up on the list is Sara. Thanks so much for stopping have a wonderful day!
