Cutting:
Crumb Cake:
8.5" x 5.5" - score at 4.25"
scalloped circle
Blushing Bride:
largest stitched rectangle
Seaside Spray:
2nd largest stitched rectangle
Whisper White
4" x 5.25" (inside)
circle (1 size smaller than your scalloped circle)
Embossing:
Crumb Cake Circle - emboss with "Layered Leaves" embossing folder
Blushing Bride - emboss with "Subtle" embossing folder
Stamping:
Seaside Spray CS: Use your Seaside Spray ink to stamp the leaves onto the Seaside Spray card stock. (I love the look of tone on tone stamping!)
Whisper White CS: Stamp the birds and sentiment on your whisper white circle. I also stamped a cute little flower on the card insert.
Coloring:
Use your blends to color your images. I like to start with the lightest colors first and use the dark blends to add in some detail.
If you don't have the blends, this would be great with your water color pencils or even with your ink pads and aqua painter. The sky is the limit with Stampin' Up!'s coloring options.
Assembling Your Card:
Glue your seaside spray piece on top of your Blushing Bride. Next adhere your crumb cake circle, then your whisper white circle.
Wrap your Linen Thread around the layers and tie a bow.
Next glue the Blushing Bride onto your Crumb Cake card base.
Finish off with a few rhinestones, glue the inside piece to your card base and you are ready to send your card to a friend!
