With All My Heart

It's been over a week since I last posted. Where does the time go? I miss you guys! Todays card could be for any occasion, and most supplies come from the New Occasions Mini Catalog! Did you all receive your catalogs (both the Occasion Mini and the Sale-A-Bration catalog)? Although my stamping time was limited this week, I was still able to create a gorgeous card. "How?" you might be asking....by using DSP of course!

Three panels, layered on distressed Very Vanilla, layered on distressed Pretty in Pink, layered on a Chocolate Chip card base. To break up the horizontal DSP panels, I placed a Chocolate Chip satin bow across the top third of the card. The bottom right is offset with a flower (we're all about balance here at Sweetest Designs). To achieve this color-variation flower, stamp the flower in Pretty in Pink ink first, turn the stamp up (rubber facing you) and take a sponge or dauber in Chocolate Chip and go over the edges. Give the stamp a little huff to moisten the ink, and stamp onto Very Vanilla. Punch out with the Scallop Circle Punch, layered on 1-3/4" Pretty in Pink circle. When I finished, I added a Chocolate Chip 1/4" epoxy brad in the center. I thought it was still "missing" something. (Does that happen to you??) As you know, there isn't a larger circle punch than 1-3/4" so I used TWO tab circle punches and layered them together to form a larger circle. You can try to find the seams - but they're difficult to see. Charming!

I layered Very Vanilla inside (edges sponged with Chocolate Chip) and stamped FRIEND in the corner. I again stamped the image with Pretty in Pink, and dabbed the edges with Chocolate Chip prior to stamping the image.

I will be adding a video to better illustrate the sponging, the distressing, and the tab punch.
