I’ve noticed that the emailed version of my blog has a different appearance. If you click on Aromas And Art (blue letters) in the upper right corner, it will take you to my website with a normal appearance. 

This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge: Petal Pink with two new, In Colors, Starry Sky and Sweet Sorbet.

I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The next layer is Petal Pink Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die, and given texture with the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is my gift for the month of May; see details below.

The top layer was cut with the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die from Basic White Cardstock.

 “Thanks” was cut with Amazing Thanks Dies; the bubble from Starry Sky Cardstock, and the word from Thick Basic White Cardstock. After gluing them together, I placed “thanks” on small pieces of Dimensionals. It’s nice that the bubble gives you room to do this.

Before attaching “thanks,” I used a splotch stamp from the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set, to stamp two times in Petal Pink Ink, and two times in “stamped off” Sweet Sorbet Ink. Then, I added some Starry Sky with a Stampin’ Blend, by flicking the brush against the lid. This was done in my laundry room sink, just in case of overspray.

Next, it was time for Pretty Bird to make her appearance, and I stamped her in Petal Pink Ink on Basic White Cardstock, using her Birdhouse Die for cutting. She grabbed some Dimensionals, and perched herself atop the “k.” A perfect spot, don’t you think?

Pretty Bird felt our card was a little plain, and suggested I find some pretty flowers. I thought of using a Summer Shadows Die, because it coordinates with the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. Pretty Bird thought the two Basic White Cardstock flowers were exactly what our card needed, and it was time to take pictures.

My May Host Code Gift

Type the current host code (found beneath my profile picture) in the box provided, on your order of $75.00 or more, before tax and shipping, and I will send you the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder in June. 

“The delicate design of the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder is subtle enough to match any project but it does not hold back on beauty. Leave the embossed look neutral to emphasize its texture, or get creative and use watercolor to accentuate the florals.”
