Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Friends Forever Cards using the Abigail Rose Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! with two different backgrounds.
I was honoured to be asked to present my colouring with Stampin’ Blends at a Playdate for fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. I presented my colouring several times so that I had enough roses to create multiple cards. I have included links to some videos at the end of this post that cover my colouring techniques, as well as the card that I used as my swap for the event.
The Details of My Cards
I had a lot of fun using my Stampin’ Blends to colour the rose from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set!
Both of my cards have the same layout. The only difference is that I used the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder for one and the Dots & Spots Die for the other card with the Petal Pink card stock. Which do you like best?
I decided to go with the journaling paper from the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper since I didn’t want too much to detract from my focal point, but it still added interest. I used the largest stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies for my other piece of DSP. Since this pattern was a darker tone-on-tone, it made the coloured piece really pop without a lot of distraction.
The sentiment was heat embossed in white on Old Olive card stock and then fussy cut out with my Paper Snips.
A Petal Pink die cut floral piece was added behind the focal point adding interest to the journaling paper and balancing out the sentiment.
The Natural Finish Ribbon ran the width of the card grounding the focal point while adding interest. A scattering of Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels added sparkle to the card.
