The first card I would like to show you is one using one of the new 2013-2015 In Colors, Coastal Cabana. It is the loveliest shade of green- so soft. My mission today is to see what can be done with this cardstock and what it will team with.
First up its a monochrome design. It looks very soft and is dead easy to do.
Supplies
- Coastal Cabana (A4 sheet cut in half)
- Whisper White cardstock 12cm X 8cm
- Ink- Versamark, Coastal Cabana
- Stamp sets- Fabulous Florets, Itty Bitty Banners
- Other- Bitty Banners Framelit die, Dimensionals, white embossing powder, sponge.
- Big Shot
- Stamp the solid flower stamp a few times and then fill in spaces with the larger open flower. Dry it well. Use the embossing buddy over the design.
- Stamp the leaves and stem stamp a few times with versamark and emboss using white embossing powder.
- When dry sponge lightly with Coastal Cabana ink around the design and extra around the edges.
- Stamp the sentiment and cut out with the die.
Next up, what about Coastal Cabana and Tempting Turquoise. This again is very easy and has a very clean, simple look to it.
