It is no secret that I love the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper. I have used it several times. Well, today is another of those times! And I have paired it with the Inked & Tiled Bundle.
Inked & Tiled Bundle
This bundle is a really nice one for several reasons. There are stamps that are both images and sentiments. And it is paired with punches instead of dies. Not just one punch, but two punches! I have used the more solid one on this card. The other is an “X” with pointed ends. Both are great and have multiple uses.
Today I used the stamped image with the old technique of Ink To Rubber. That is a red rubber stamp, sadly it does not work on photopolymer stamps, that you color the rubber with Stampin’ Write Markers. I used Pretty Peacock for the stem and leaves. And Flirty Flamingo as the flower center with Crushed Curry for the petals. The sentiment is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Note: Stampin’ Write Markers, with the exception of Basic Black, are only available as the entire collection or as Color Families. However they are great to have on hand.
Papers
The fun DSP pieces are both from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper. I love directly stamping on to the DSP. Naturally it doesn’t work for all DSP, but in this case I love the look it gives. In this card I wanted a softer look and stamping on the DSP achieved that.
The card base is the new In Color Wild Wheat. It really makes the plaid in the front DSP stand out. And I was surprised at how well the Flirty Flamingo layer paired with it also. None of these colors seem to really go together, yet they all do work well with each other. Sometimes just going for it really works!
Finishes
To finish the card I knew I wanted a ribbon. In putting the layers together I layed them all out on the Wild Wheat card base at the angles to make sure nothing was overhanging. After adhering each layer to the Flirty Flamingo, I wrapped a piece of the Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon around all three layers. The Lost Lagoon is included in the greenery DSP layer along with the Pretty Peacock. I adhered the ribbon on the back of the Flirty Flamingo and then adhered all the bundle I had made to the card base.
The sentiment was punched using the Inked & Tiled Punch and added using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The bow was added off to the side. For the bling I used the Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins. These are in two sizes. I spread a trio of the smaller gold ones around the card.
Measurements
There is not an exact science to the layers I used. But I did stagger the sizes a little. The Flirty Flamingo layer is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8 with the green DSP layer 3 X 5. And the plaid stamped layer is 2 3/4 X 4 3/4. The differences allow for more angled placement as they get smaller.
Don’t forget the DSP sale! The Inked Botanicals DSP is included.
