Lasting Lily Thank You

The SAB stamp set "Lovely Lily" is such a wonderful stamp set, and so versatile. The sentiments of the stamp cater to sympathy or get well, but I think it could be used for birthday, anniversary or even Easter.

The first card I made  is a Thank You card.

The Lily is one of my favourite flowers because it is so simple yet so elegant. For this card I stamped the Lily using Berry Burst ink; the stem and leaves in Mossy Meadow.

The base card is Berry Burst card stock, layered with Whisper White and then a 2 1/4 by 5 1/4" piece of Vellum embossed with the Tufted Embossing Folder.

The art piece is a 2 1/2 by 4" piece of Whisper White matted with 2 3/4 by 4 1/4" Berry Burst.

The sentiment is from "Another Thank You".  The word "thanks" was highlighted with a Berry Burst marker to isolate that word only.

Three faceted gems of different sizes placed on the lower left art piece finishes the card.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Lastingly Lily, Another Thank You
Inks:  Berry Burst, Mossy Meadow, Berry Burst marker
Papers:  Berry Burst, Vellum, Whisper White
Accessories:  Tufted embossing folder, faceted gems

Dragonfly & Doillie Sponged Background - Hand Stamped Sentiments #259

The Sponged Doillie technique was a technique I saw on Pinterest, a tutorial of which was done by Irene Rahman on her blog "My Crafty Creations", but unfortunately I could not track the blog post down.

I used this technique to create my own DSP panel for the sketch challenge with Hand Stamped Sentiments

To make the background for the panel, I used the new Doillie as a template and sponged several colours over it (Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Mint Macaron & Rich Razzelberry), moving the doillie around until the entire surface was covered.

A 1 3/4 by 4 3/4 piece of this was matted with Melon Mambo and adhered to a Whisper White card front

On the smaller Whisper White piece embossed with the Falling Gently embossing folder, Bermuda Bay die cut dragonflies were adhered after which this piece was also matted with Melon Mambo.

In order not to cover up the dragon flies, the sentiment was embossed on a strip of Vellum which was notched at both ends.

Supplies Used:

Stamp: All Thing Thanks

Inks:Versa Mark, Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Mint Macaron, Rich Razzelberry

Papers: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Vellum, Bermuda Bay
