I have a tone on tone card to share today. But first I want to let you know about the BONUS DAYS special for July. (Can you believe that we are in July? YIKES!! ) The Bonus Days is explained at the bottom of my post. But basically it is that for every $50.00 you spend July 1 – August 3, you receive a $5.00 coupon code that can be used from August 4 – 31. Please read all of the information at the bottom.
So now on to to my card. I am sharing my first card using the Tasteful Touches Bundle.
I went with a Tone on Tone color scheme. All except the white card stock and ribbon is shades of blue. And all of the stamps are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. You know I love cards made from just one set.
The background is the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder. I stamped the images prior to embossing. Also, I obviously did not pay attention to the folder direction. I ended up with the raised sections on the back. After looking at it though, I decided I liked the “indented” look just as well. So a new look from the embossing folder!
The blues I used are Pacific Point as the card base, with a layer of Whisper White to have the next color stand out more. The embossed layer is Balmy Blue card stock. The inks are Pacific Point, Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Pretty Peacock. The Pretty Peacock may not technically be a blue, but I love it, so it is an honorary one! 🙂
The strip of ribbon is from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon pack. I felt the need for a little more depth but didn’t want to add a bow.
The sentiment layer is a different look as well. I stamped and die cut the sentiment. I then turned the die over and used a pen to draw around the outside of the die. I then fussy cut just inside the pen line to get a background for the sentiment. This layer is finished off with a Frosted & Clear Epoxy Dot. I added a couple to the center of the flower for good measure.
Thank you for stopping in today. I really appreciate it. Please let me know if you have any questions about Bonus Days! I would love to assist you.
