Good morning everyone!
Yesterday was a dull, rainy day, today promises to be better, it is a much brighter day and the birds are singing. I think it’s the kind of day to get outside and enjoy the fresh air!
But first, I want to share this card with you.
I was inspired by the uber talented Kylie Bertucci’s card she had posted a while ago using this exact layout and the Oh So Succulent stamp set, thanks Kylie, I love your card!!!! I thought it was perfect for the Beautiful You stamp set as well. I kept the colours the same as Kylie, I do love Mint Macaron and am so very sad that it is one of the colours that is leaving us the end of May. Do you have all the retiring In Colors that you want, including the reinkers??? They will sell out quickly, usually by the end of April they are gone, so if you have been waiting to stock up now is the time!!!
My card base is Thick Whisper White, I use this for ALL of my white card bases now, I love the thickness and stability it gives my cards!!
My next layer is Smoky Slate (the perfect grey in my opinion!!) and it is cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″, I distressed the edges using my Smoky Slate ink pad and a sponge, I love the way it softens the look of the card! I stamped a cascade of the Oh So Succulent flowers down from the top right corner of the cardstock down to the bottom in Smoky Slate, I love the tone on tone look. My Mint Macaron layer is 1-1/4″ x 5-1/4″, again I sponged the edges, I stamped my sentiment from the Beautiful You stamp set in Smoky Slate. My two circles are die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits. The top circle that I stamped my image on is Shimmery White, I love this cardstock for watercolouring as it just glides across the smooth surface! I used my ink pads and Aqua Painter to colour my stylish lady in. I finished my card with a bunch of tiny pearls from the Pearl Basic Jewels.
I hope you like today’s card, and remember the 2015-2017 In Colors are retiring May 31 BUT they will not last until then, they will sell out and once they are gone, they are gone for good. I don’t want you to be disappointed so please get your order in if they are still sitting on your wish list!
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it!
Hugs,
Marcy
