Hi friends! I opened up another of my self-made card kits this week and commenced to coloring and making cards. This kit's focus is on Penny Black's Floral Vines stamp set with matching dies. I made three cards, but only sharing one today. I let the Triple B Challenge be my inspiration this time. You can see their beautiful board at the end of this post.
The flowers are gold embossed and watercolored very simply with Stampin' Up inks. All the die cuts are double-layered for a little extra dimension, and then placed against a leafy embossed background.
Two of the three cards I made with this kit are to be part of a gift set for a friend. She likes pretty hand made cards with lots of room to write inside.
I thought I'd share a photo of the "kit", such as it is. There's nothing especially clever about it. All the stamps are embossed and ready to color, card bases prepped, and certain design pieces cut and ready. I had a layout planned for all three cards. Some of the parts were used for the other two cards, and certain finishing touches were added in later. The larger single flowers were used for decoration inside the cards.
I have five remaining kits, all focusing on not-yet-used stamps, multiple cards per kit. I look forward to playing with all of them!
Today's two challenges are as follows:
NBUS Challenge #82: My never before used schtuff is the Penny Black Floral Vines stamp set
That's all for now. I hope to see you again next week. Have a beautiful day!
