With Love on Your Special Day

Good morning ASD friends!

I am sharing a beautiful soft floral card with you today that I designed using the stunning stamp set by Alex Syberia Designs called Spring Garden. This stamp, die and stencil set was released in February. This very pretty stamp set has a great versatility to it. You can keep the whole image as a centre point or,  you can cut it up to make different designs for your cards and scrapbooking layouts.

One thing I have learned while designing is that you can make any image any colour you like. You will see by my design, I decided on grey toned leaves. I find it artistically liberating going against the norm at times.  Using the Spring Garden Coordinating Stencils, I concentrated colour around the base and my guess of where shadowed areas should be.

When finished stencilling, I decided to pull out the Floral Lattice Stencil and used the lightest pink to form a backdrop. Then, I splattered some silver paint to compliment the leaves and the heat embossing.

As this is a large stamp, I decided to cut it and position the flowers around the front panel over the ink blended background. Because I love dimension, I popped the florals on dimensional foam squares.

For the sentiment, which is part of the Spring Garden Stamp Set, I heat embossed black ink and clear embossing powder. I do this quite often with my designs because I like the crisp, bold effect that it gives me.

Don’t you think this would make a perfect wedding card?

Well, I hope you feel inspired my friends. Im pretty thrilled how this one came together!

Until next time friends…
