Heartfelt Thanks with Erica


Hello, Erica back on the blog today. I've swapped a day with poor Rachel who has done her back in but she's going to cover one of my dates while I'm moving house at the end of the month and beginning of next. A Thank You card seemed appropriate for today's post with that in mind.



I stamped up the lovely bloom from Just A Rose and coloured it in with my Copic markers. I wanted a light and bright look so I used a flicking motion and left plenty of white space on the petals. The leaves I did in a similar manner but the stamens in the middle got a dark pink colour.

I fussy cut the flower out and added foam tape to the back of it while I was in a cutting frenzy. Once that was done I set it aside and started on the background.

Grabbing my new Distress Oxide inks I blended some green shades all over a card panel. My first idea was to stamp up some leaves on it and make it look like a rose bush on which the flower would sit. I decided on trying something new instead and got a flower background stamp out, placed it on my table and spritzed water all over it before turning the panel upside down and upside-down stamping it on. To hurry up the drying process, I got my heat gun out and used it on the panel until it was completely dry.

Using a scalloped edge die I cut one of the corners off, both to make a space for the sentiment as well as let the card base show through a little. I picked a lovely linen textured pink card stock, in a similar colour to match the one on the flower and it seemed a shame to not show it off.

The sentiment 'Heartfelt Thanks' I stamped in black ink on white card stock and cut it out leaving a thin white border around it. I added it to the card using foam tape.



That's it for today, lets all send our well-wishes to Rachel for a speedy recovery and see you all soon again!

Happy crafting from Erica

One Layered Card - Featuring Kennedy Grace Creations: Time To Blossom

Hey folks! I'm back to share a card from the Kennedy Grace Creations New Release! The stamp set I used today is the Time To Blossom Stamp Set . I really enjoyed the simplicity of this set. You could totally heat emboss this and do some fabulous watercoloring, but Copic's seems to be the way to go for me lately so that's what I did. I started by stamping the image twice on my card panel. The only masking I did was a tiny bit on the stem. The name of the game was to keep this super simple folks. As I said, I colored the images with Copic's. Another thing I enjoy about the Time To Blossom Stamp Set is that you could choose any colors you wanted. I chose red-violets and yellow-greens, but seriously peeps, whatever floats your boat and it will looks great! To finish off my card, I used a added a couple of hand drawn lines to the background and I stamped a portion of a stamp that is also in the Time To Blossom Stamp Set . That's it! Easy peasy. T
