I'm happy to say that I completed one kit in the last couple of days. The card kit is called Everyday Elegance by Stampin'Up. I can't even remember when I got this kit.
I started with the Cherry Cobbler cards. I colored the image with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive markers and was quite happy with the result. I've forgotten the stunning look you get from multi-colored stamped images. The layout is simple and took no time to put together.
I finished all four cards quickly. The only variation is the sentiment - three happy birthdays and one thinking of you.
Onto the Baja Breeze cards. I stuck with the floral theme and picked hydrangea for this set of cards. I also colored the stamp with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive markers. I manually cut around the flower and stem and set it on the card with dimensionals. Added the ribbon and the sentiment. I have to say that this is gorgeous in real life. I'm glad I took the time to fussy cut around the flower, sooo worth the effort.
The next card is a different layout. I masked the stem and leaves of the flower and used Baja Breeze ink pad to inked the flower. Then I color the stem and leaves with Old Olive marker. When I stamped it on a white card stock I got a two-tone image. Yikes! I forgot to clean the stamp before inking it with another color. But this was a good mistake since some hydrangeas are two-tone.
After that unplanned two-tone effect, the single color image just looked flat so I had to re-create my mistake to make the other two cards.
These four were a bit more work than the first four and you can see the difference. I just love how they turned out!
Hope you enjoyed today's project. Coming up next is the other card kit I have been saving.
Until the next post............. Cheers!!!
