I used the Stampin’ Up! Touches of Texture and Endless Thanks stamp sets to create my card to share today.
My card design was inspired by Global Design Project #038.
And the flowers were inspired by CAS-ual Fridays CFC149.
I started by adhering two strips of Post-It Note tape over a panel of Very Vanilla card stock to create a mask. Then I stamped the flower and bee images from the Touches of Texture stamp set in Early Espresso ink between the two strips of tape.
I inked up the larger splatter image from the Touches of Texture stamp set in Crumb Cake ink, stamped it on scrap paper, then stamped it over the masked area several times. I inked the inner part of the flower stamp in Dapper Denim ink, stamped it on scrap paper, then stamped it over the flower images. I stamped over the flower center and bee images with Delightful Dijon ink and the small circular image from the Touches of Texture stamp set.
I removed the Post-It Note Tape then sponged the edges of the panel with Crumb Cake ink. I curled the corners a bit and adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Early Espresso card stock with SNAIL. I cut a circle from Early Espresso card stock with the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Die and adhered it to the panel with Multipurpose Liquid Glue, tied a strand of Linen Thread around it, then adhered the layered panel to a Dapper Denim card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the banner image and sentiment from the Endless Thanks photopolymer stamp set in Early Espresso and Dapper Denim inks on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock. I cut the banner out, then stamped the ink splatter image in Crumb Cake ink over it (stamped off once). I sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some random Pearl Basic Jewels to finish it.
I stamped the flower images and ink splatter image from the Touches of Texture stamp set on a Very Vanilla panel inside the card.
