Can you believe it’s August already! Where is time going? Currently here in middle Georgia, we’re experiencing the hot, humid days of summer. So, it’s the perfect time to stay indoors and craft!
Today’s card features the Rare Blessings Stamp Set and if you’re looking for a simple card to create, this one has you covered. Recently, a friend had asked if I could make a simple, blank card (no sentiment) for them to use. The Rare Blessings set was on my desk, so I thought it would be perfect to use. Since the flower in the stamp set is delicate in appearance, I decided to use a soft color scheme of Purple Posy and Soft Sea Foam. The flower image was first stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored using the Soft Sea Foam and Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends Sets. The Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends highlights the center stamen petals of the flower. Using the Stitched Rectangles Dies, a frame is created from the Soft Sea Foam cardstock to highlight the flower image.
The interior of the card could not be completely blank! So, the small flower from the stamp set was stamped and colored to add an extra touch.
Add a comment and let me know what color scheme you’d like to see used with this stamp set. I’ll use it on a future post.
