Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Peachy Keen Birthday Card using the Sweet As a Peach Bundle which includes the Sweet As a Peach Stamp Set and the matching Peach Dies.
The Details of My Card
For my card, I love the colours of the pretty You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper and decided that I wanted to pair it with the Picture This Dies.
For the sentiment, I positioned the die cut Calypsol Coral piece, without adhering it, on the card base and stamped the sentiment directly onto the Thick Basic White card base. Next, I popped up the Calypso Coral card stock with dimensionals onto the card base. I then used liquid adhesive on the DSP shifting them into place to allow them to peek through the two of the openings. For the Balmy Blue sentiment, I white embossed it with my heat gun to make it pop.
I decide that I wanted the Pear Pizzazz leaves to be exploding from the Picture This Dies frame onto the sentiment with the stamped peaches layered on top.
For the peaches, I used a technique where you use a sponge dauber to add a second colour to your stamps and create dimension. I stamped the peaches from the Sweet as a Peach stamp set twice. The top three are in Pale Papaya. The bottom three are Pale Papaya with Calypso Coral daubed on the edges after inking them with the Pale Papaya. What a difference it makes!
A couple of Calypso Coral Artistry Blooms Sequins tie in the colour scheme and add a bit of sparkle.
