I adore the sentiments with the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set. The title for today, Hello There, is one of them. The entire Bundle is simply a must have for fun cards. I have a quick one to share today.
I love the stamps in the set and not just the sentiments. They are all wonderful. You can two step stamp to fill the images, or you can stamp the outline and then color the inside area. I did a little of both on this card.
For the “vine” I stamped using Memento Tuxedo Ink. I then colored the leaves with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I colored two of the flowers as well. I then stamped a separate flower from the stamp set and added it on top of the upper most flower with a mini glue dot. (There are four pieces that are in the punch: the strawberry, cap, leaf, and flower) To finish the flowers I added an In Color Dot in the Bumblebee to the center of the two full flowers.
The strawberries and their caps are stamped both the outline and centers. I did use a trick for the strawberry caps. I did not want the white area showing that the punch leaves behind. I think it would really shine against the body of the strawberry. So I took the Light Granny Apple Stampin’ Blend and colored it. I am happy with how that worked out.
To add some whimsy to this card, I went with the angled layer of papers. I was going to lay both papers at opposite angles, but it hid too much of the DSP. So I layered those two properly and then angled them. It allows the True Love Designer Series paper to shine as well as the Granny Apple Green cardstock.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you will return tomorrow for another new project.
