Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Sweet Macaron Card using Macaron Bouquet Stamp from Stamping Bella.
I was asked to create a card for a Spring Challenge for a group that I am a member. There were 4 mood boards from which to choose. For my card, I decided to go with the Springtime in Parisian Mood Board.
The Details of My Card
Paris is one of my favourite places to go! I love macarons! And I love the colours that were on the mood board! So, I went with the Macaron Bouquet by Stamping Bella and coloured them with my Copic markers in a light bright pink with a mint green ribbon pulling from the mood boards colours.
Since, this was a Parisian card, the die cut Eiffel Tower rubbed with Brushed Iron Wax to bring out the details was a must have. The Eiffel Tower to me is an iconic symbol of Paris!
Spring in Paris is something else, especially with its beautiful cherry blossoms! So, I decided to create my own cherry blossoms with a punch in layers of pinks and whites to match my Dainty Diamonds pink embossed paper. I added pearls to the flower centres and coloured a few pearls with my RV Copic marker for the white flowers.
Of course, since my card is Parisian inspired, I must have some French on it and the word “merci” fitted perfectly down the side of my focal point.
I trimmed the sentiment that came with the stamp down so that it would fit my card from:
“It is the sweet, simple
things of life
which are the real ones after all
~ Laura Ingalls Wilder.”
to just using the first two lines. I didn’t want it to cover too much of the Eiffel Tower.
A scattering of Mint Macaron Gems tied in my colour scheme and added some sparkle. I also used Clear Wink of Stella on the macarons to add more sparkle.
