Well I must have been feeling in a monochrome mood yesterday when I decided to pay homage to one of my favourite stamp sets, Fresh Cut, sniff, that is, snif, RETIRING, boo hoohoo! Thats right, retired list is out, check it here.
All three cards have used Bravo Burgangy, Very Vanilla and Confetti Cream. The top card has a build-a-brad in the centre which allows you to use patterned or stamped papers punched out in 1/2 inch circles to make your own embellishment. The rest of the flower is made up of three layered up five petal flowers from the five petal flower punch.
Another technique I wanted to share was the border on the ’thank you’ oval on both the top and bottom cards. This is a good way to put a contrasting colour around your sentiment if you don’t have a nesting punch of the next size up. Firstly, stamp the thank you sentiment onto cardstock. Then use the large oval punch up-side-down to align the stamped image before punching. Then punch out another oval in the colour for the border (in this case in burgandy). Cut the oval in half. Put adhesive on the back of the sentiment oval, then position the two half ovals off the ends of the sentiment oval and “voila!”
- How to made boarder for the thankyou sentiment
If you want a complete boarder around your sentiment simply punch out two burgandy ovals and cut the second one in half longways, placing it at the top and bottom of the oval:o)
