I have a beautiful card to share with you using the Lots of Lavender Stamp set which is FREE when you place an order for £45+ from my online shop.
I stamped the beautiful lavender stamp in Black Memento Ink and coloured it using the Stampin’ Blends. I found a circle die and drew a pencil line so that some of the flower and stems would be outside the die cut shape. I cut around the protruding pieces so that they would not be cut by the die.
I really wanted to add some dimension and texture on this card so I stamped and hand cut some more of the lavender foliage and fussy cut around it and raised it up with dimensionals.
A Linen thread bow adds some more texture.
Here are the Stampin’ Blends colours I used –
- Pink Pirouette Dark
- Rich Razzleberry Dark
- Rich Razzleberry Light
- Old Olive Light
- Old Olive Dark
The amazing die cut word is from the Celebrate You Thinlit Dies cut in Basic Grey cardstock, which are also free during saleabration if you spend £90. The word YOU and ARE SIMPLY are from the matching stamp set called Amazing You also free during saleabration with a £45 spend.
There are lots of lovely free items to get your hands on till the end of March, details of this fantastic promotion are shared in the Saleabration brochure on the right which will open as a pdf.
The embossing folder I used is called Quilt Top, isn’t it beautiful?
