The Shaded Summer stamp set (#155783) can be found in the Annual catalogue. For those who love to have dies that co-ordinate with stamp sets, you will be excited to see there will be dies available as part of the Sale-a-bration products (with a $180 order) to match this set. These are the Summer Shadows Dies (#156618). As well as dies to cut the 2 floral images and the small branch in the stamp set, there are 8 other dies to cut flowers and leaves, so a great set to get.
The stitching around the Basic White card front (#159228) was done with the Stitched With Whimsey Dies (#155314). I then stamped one of the floral images from the Shaded Shadows stamp set with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). Some images were stamped using the “Stamping off” method.
The other floral image was stamped with Mango Melody ink (#147093) using the Stamparatus (#148187). After cleaning the stamp and without moving it, I re-inked with VersaMark (#102283) and stamped over the original image. I then sprinkled this with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I cut it with the die from the Summer Shadows Dies.
The flower and leaves were also cut from this same die set. The leaves were cut from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and the flower from Mango Melody card (#147013). I daubered the detailed cut-out of the leaves with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and the flower with Mango Melody ink, to give a slightly darker colour. These detailed pieces were glued to the base flower and leaves using Fine- Tip Glue Pen (#138309).
“Happy Birthday” is from the Shaded Summer stamp set and stamped with Mango Melody ink. A die from the Meadow Dies (#155852) cut the sentiment. The sentiment and flowers were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the leaves.
I added glimmer to the detailed parts of the flower and leaves using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) and added a Pearl Basic Jewel (#144219) to the flower centre.
I daubered the card front with Mango Melody ink before attaching it to the Basic White base card.
