Happy Friday! We have a new color challenge at TGIF Challenges this week including Lovely Lipstick, Basic Black, and Old Olive. When I saw this combo, I immediately thought of flowers and coloring. So, I decided to get a jump on Mother’s Day:)
I thought it would be fun to use the Dressed To Impress stamps and All Dressed Up Dies for this challenge. (Purchase in a bundle to save 10%.) This whole bundle is ultra feminine and reminds me so much of my Mother-In-Law. She’s a beautiful, classy lady.
I absolutely LOVE the way this card turned out. Sometimes, I have a vision in my mind and everything just flows, and this was one of those cards.
I started by cutting out a layer with a Stitched Rectangle Die and then creating an ombre pattern with Sponge Daubers and Lovely Lipstick ink. Then, I embossed the layer with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder. I didn’t spritz the paper (which is typically advised to loosen the paper fibers) because I didn’t want to ruin the ink blending. However, I really love the little cracks created by the embossing folder. I think it adds a cool, vintage look to the card.
In addition, I used the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a layer of Vellum Paper for the background.
Next, I created a fun Whisper White frame using a combination of Stitched Rectangle Dies and Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
I stamped the perfume bottle and numerous flower dies on Whisper White Cardstock, using Memento Ink. Then, I colored them with Lovely Lipstick, Old Olive, and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers.
Lastly, I embossed the sentiment in white on Basic Black Cardstock and cut it out with an All Dressed Up Die. Then, I added a few Rhinstone Basic Jewels that I colored with a Dark Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blend Marker.

Have a wonderful and creative day!
