Simon Says Stamp Framed Friendship and Poppy Stamps Art Deco Birthday card

 


Hello everyone, and if you are in the UK, I hope you enjoyed the sunshine over the last week or so. Spring is definitely here now and the lighter evenings to enjoy the birdsong in the garden are very welcome.


It's time for another challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More, and this time we'd like you to make your mark!

I came up with this offering:-



For this card I used my NBUS Simon Says Stamp and Altenew collaboration set called Framed Friendship and I stamped and coloured two of the flower and leaf clusters with my Zig Clean Colour pens before die cutting them. I lightly inked a 5x5 piece of white card for the background and then stamped the line corner from the stamp set using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink. I used this to place my sentiment from Poppy Stamps Art Deco Birthday sentiments to give it a half-framed look.


The card was matted onto white and I cut a scalloped square from white card and heavily inked the edges with the Wilted Violet ink because I didn't have any card of the right colour. To finish off, I shaped the flowers and leaves a little and then overlapped and entwined them to make a larger cluster that had more visual impact.

As always, you'll find lots of inspiration from my talented teammates over on the ATSM blog, and we also have a very talented Guest  Designer this month so do stop by to say hello to Trina and view her gorgeous card. I look forward to seeing your entries if you decide to join us.

I'd like to play along at





Thanks for stopping by.
