Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again stamping friends,

I cut squares from the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (#163317) and attached them to the Basic White card front (#159228). This beautiful Pearlised paper has an Ombre effect on each sheet, with a soft graduation of colours.

The card front was then matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut the leafy image using a Thoughtful Wishes die (#163313) with the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I cut this in half and attached the 2 pieces to the card, allowing you to see more of the leaves.

The flowers from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684) was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052). The 2 circles were cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). These were taped together, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the stamped image and the embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems (#161288).

At this stage I haven't added a sentiment but will add it when I decide what I need the card for.

I cut and embossed the leaves with the folder & die. The other leaves were also cut with the dies using Pecan Pie card (#161726) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I have used the Wildflower Designs dies (#163333) to cut the 3 layers under the butterflies & flowers.

I dry embossed the Basic White card (#159228) with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189). I attached the piece of the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (#163317) to the embossed card, then matted this with Pretty Peacock card (#150886). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

The flowers from the Translucent Florals stamp set 162243) were stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and cut with the co-ordinating Translucent Florals dies (#162243),

After setting these with the Heat Tool (#129056) they were cut with the Sketched Butterflies dies (#163491). I attached the smaller butterfly to the larger one with a Mini Glue Dot (#103683).

The Pretty Peacock card (#150886), the gold from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) and the Basic White card were all cut with the Wildflower Designs Dies. These were taped to the card front.

The sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) and I stamped this with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). I used a Delicate Forest die (#162679) to cut the sentiment.

I attached the butterflies, sentiment and flowers to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers. The Gold Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems (#161288) were added to finish the card.
