I hope your having a wonderful morning. Today I want to share my card from Dreaming Tree. I saw this collection of cards and just knew I wanted to make one for my bestie for her birthday. While the card I chose is a spring card, it is quite beautiful and I thought would be perfect for her. These cards are so pretty they would be lovely as a wedding card, get well or just thinking of you. So on to the card!
I started with a white base and found a lovely pinkpaislee paper called Oyster Bar from the Nantucket collection. I had been saving it for quite a while. I cut the base out of white then using Versa Mark ink I stamped a background stamp from Stampin Up called Filigree. I have used it quite a bit and just love that background stamp. I used Hero Arts ultra fine clear emboss powder to emboss the front of the card.
White embossing powder would be a lovely option for a wedding as well.
I wanted to keep the same colors in my card as the pinkpaislee paper so I chose American Craft butter for the yellow and Raspberry for the peach color. Thinking about the background I knew I wanted it to be a print and stay with the same soft feel so I used Echo Parks Jack and Jill collection. The paper said Chandeliers on the back but I used the paper that looked like wood to me. When I chose papers I lay them beside each other and think about texture and prints. I wanted that for the inside of the card and the back outside as well. The opposite side of the pinkpaislee was a little loud for my girlfriend and I knew it would bother her. The Echo Park paper I chose would keep the soft feel of the card as well as add texture.
I cut the flower for the outside of the card using the raspberry and decided I liked it better in the middle of the flower for the inside. Using scraps of the pinkpaislee I cut the outside flower. I cut the butter for the center of the flowers and added tiny yellow dots to the stamens. Using my McGill flower shaping tools I shaped the flowers to cup up just a tad. The final touch was to add the large pearl embellishment to the center. I cut the leaves out of the butter as well, turned them over so I could used the non textured side and using that same background stamp I used on the card base I stamped it with Stampin Up Daffodil Delight. This was the same color I used to make the tiny dots on the stamens.
Using a portion of the pinkpaislee paper that had mostly lace I wrote Happy Birthday. I have a couple of good greeting stamps but can never find them when I am looking for them. I really need to get a good greeting stamp set. I will gladly accept advice on that if any would cares to share.
I used a Close to the Heart paper I had in my stash to make the envelope and white cardstock for the insert. This and another dear friend are always telling me no naked envelopes so I will add a stamp to the front of the envelope.
That is the card for my bestie and I do hope she doesn't see it before her birthday but she probably will. I don't usually post before I give the card or gift but I haven't posted in so long I felt I owed it to y'all.
