Hello there!! I hope you're having a great day so far. I'm excited to share more sneak peeks with you! First up, a card to show you with quite a few new goodies on it. I stamped the large dahlia image from Delightful Dahlia on one of the new downloadable Color Couture raspberry fizz dotted patterned papers from this month's Color Couture Download. I stamped the large leaf image from Delightful Dahlia on kraft card stock and I layered them both on another new Color Couture patterned paper -- the ledger paper in the background.
I stamped the sentiment (also from Delightful Dahlia) directly on the ledger paper and added a raspberry fizz button to the center of the dahlia. I finished the card off with a bit of vintage book print along the bottom of the card and a sweet little aqua mist bow. Can you just imagine this large dahlia stamped on a wide variety of different patterned papers? The possibilities really are endless!
I thought you might like a peek at the set of Delightful Dahlia dies that coordinate with the set. This set of dies will sell be available for $15 beginning on March 15 at Papertrey Ink. You can see how these dies will make creating dahlias a snap whether you plan to stamp them on patterned papers or you prefer to color them in yourself!
This next card features quite a few new goodies too. I used the small dahlia and small leaf image from Delightful Dahlia and colored them in with Copic markers. I layered them on Heather's new Fillable Frames #2 stamp and used the frame image to help frame my sentiment -- another from Delightful Dahlia.
Be sure to keep an eye out at Nichole's blog as well as Heather's for more info about the FABULOUS patterned papers I used on this card. I am in LOVE with them! You'll also notice a new bitty dot satin ribbon on this card in the new hawaiian shores color.
Lastly for today is a Color Couture card for you. I used one of the new artisan card templates that's available in this month's Color Couture Download, as well as another one of the downloadable patterned papers. I paired them with one of the sentiment embellies from the Color Couture embellie collection (Vol. 3) and added a couple of hibiscus burst buttons on either side of the embellie.
I also love this simple little ribbon treatment. I adhered a strip of Scor-Tape to the back side of a strip of hibiscus burst classic grosgrain ribbon and adhered it to the card front. When I got to the right side of the card, I bunched the ribbon up as I stuck it to the card. After that, I simply stitched down the center of the ribbon with my sewing machine.
Can you see yourself using this card template for a variety of different cards? It makes it so easy to take a simple card and jazz it up just a bit!
That's all for this post but I have two posts for you today so be sure to check out my Trendy Tabs post in case you missed it! I hope to see you back here again tomorrow for more sneak peek fun!
