Heartfelt Hellos – Enjoy Your Day

Welcome back!  How is it already the end of the month.  There are still a few challenges that have deadlines today…

Playing with Inspiration Station (#59) and just love the color combination of the dresses and the swirling movement of the wind.  I have combined the colors with the Atlantic Hearts (#570) sketch keeping it a single layer for a clean and simple, #simplestamping project. I opted for a Floral design similar to the sketch and for Seize the Birthday (#280) and I am sharing with Krafty Chicks (#709) for their Any Occasion theme.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Shaded Spruce cardstock.
• Focal Panel: (5¼” x 4”) Basic White cardstock.
  • With Masking Paper, a (4” x 1¼”) Sentiment Block was masked.
  • The Floral Outline image from the Color & Contour stamp set was stamped around the masked Sentiment Block with Melon Mambo ink.
  • The Floral In-Fill image was then added, also with Melon Mambo ink.
  • A few more of the Floral In-Fill images were stamped onto Masking Paper and fussy cut with Paper Snips to create Flower Masks.
  • With the Floral Masks in place, the Large Leaf image from the On-Line Exclusive Tropical Leaf stamp set was stamped with Lemon-Lime Twist ink.
  • Then the Small Leaf image from the same stamp set was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink.
  • The Splatter image from the Color & Contour stamp set was stamped with 2^nd Generation (stamped off once) Shaded Spruce ink.
  • The Sentiment Block Mask was removed.
  • Using a Ruler and the Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker, the Sentiment Block was outlined.
  • The sentiment, ENJOY your day, from the 2024 Sale-a-bration Heartfelt Hellos stamp set was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink.
  • I created another Flower which I added to the Sentiment Block with a Dimensional and it was stamped the same way as described in steps 1 and 2 and fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
  • The Flower Centers were colored using the Light Lemon-Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends Marker.

It is always amazing to me what can be created with just stamps, ink and paper.  What a nice birthday card.
