Love is in the Air - Stampin' Creative Global Blog Hop

Happy Blog Hop Day!

Every month my friends from around the globe and I bring your projects using Stampin' Up! products surrounding a common theme. Our hope is to inspire you with our projects. Let us know how you like them - we love your comments!

This month the theme is "Love is in the Air". I was inspired by a swap card I received from my friend Diane Hutchinson over at "Crafts by the Bow". This was my take on her card:

SOOOO pretty! Have you tried the new Butterflies & Flowers Layering Masks yet? I'm SO glad I bought them! Oh sure - I almost ALWAYS buy the masks (after all they ARE quite affordable at only $13.50 CDN!) ... but I don't always USE them (can anyone else??). Well THESE masks are different! You LAYER them and they give you an amazing look and depth we haven't seen in our masks before!

My colour palette is Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Soft Succulent. Our Blending Brushes are your best friend on this project - LOVE them! Your OTHER best friend are you post-it-notes. Trust me on this one - don't scrimp!! Cover EVERY space you don't want inked up!

First, my layer dimensions:

Basic White base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Highland Heather layer - 3 3/4" x 5"

Basic White layer - 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Next up, we get inky!

Start by choosing the "thin" floral image on the mask ... and cover EVERY space you don't want inked with post-it-notes:

Apply your Fresh Freesia ink with your Blending Brush:

Ta-Da!

Next you cover your image with the "thick" floral image. You'll know it's lined up correctly when you can't see any white in your image:

Apply your Highland Heather ink with your Blending Brush:

Ta Da!

Do the same thing for the leaves - mask off EVERY space you don't want inky with your post-it-notes and ink up the leaves with Soft Succulent ink:

Ta Da!

Ta Da again .....

Adhere your top layer to your Highland Heather layer using Stampin' Seal and then attach the Highland Heather layer to the card base using dimensionals.

I used our Tailored Tags to cut out the smallest tag, stamped the sentiment from "Love & Happiness" in Highland Heather, popped it up on dimensionals and added a twine bow. I added a few Pastel Pearls and DONE! SO pretty ... and a perfect Engagement card for when Love is in the Air :)
