Growing In Unity Day 4
Slimline Cards
Hello and welcome back to my blog and today's post. Today I decided to create slimline cards to show some of my favorite stamp sets that I think are perfect for these type cards.
For my first card I chose to use "Difficult Roads" by Graciellie Designs. This is one of my favorite florals to use.
I used a red card base and a black mat for the basis card.
I then stamped the background image using red ink and the "Criss Cross Hearts" Background stamp.
I colored the image with Spectrum Noir
Markers and cut out. Took a small piece of card stock and made a shelf. Stamped saying below and finished.
For my second card I used "Care And Hope Iris" by Sandhya Iyer.
This is a beautiful image and stamp set.
I stamped the image on white card stock.
I did try to color stamp with Spectrum Noir markers and I guess should have wet because now my beautiful iris stamp is part purple and green. I did sentiment in the same green.
And finally I used January's Sentiment Kit called "Hello Fresh Start" by Lisa Arna. This has a stunning floral image that can be used for so many occasions.
I decided to try something different and I took cardstock and cut in 1" stripes in some scrap paper I had. I then put next to each other and stamped the image on top.
For the "Hello" I used a die that Unity Stamp Company carries.
I hope you enjoyed my 4th day as Growing In Unity Girl.

these are great and I especially love the first one where you made the shelf out of paper as a way to ground the flower image. This is a great way to use a flower and a sentiment on Slimline.
ReplyDeleteCUUUUUUUUUUUTE slimline cards! I really love your style!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards again. I am definitely going to try the color strips and stamp on top of them. Never have seen that done in real life--just something I had heard someone had done!
