Because I'm late to the blog party, I've technically already made a few cards - they've been great fun and I love how they've all turned out so far, but tonight's card was the first one that I felt proud enough of to really share in detail!
Aside from Stampin' Up, I'm involved in a number of snail mail/penpal groups, and as much as I love all the amazing cards I've seen so far, "Hello" cards are by far my favorite. So of course I had to have the "Hello You" thinlits set - it just came in yesterday but I think it may easily be my favorite item in the 2014-2015 catalogue so far!
Altogether, this card was pretty straightforward. I started with a base of Sahara Sand Cardstock, added a layer of a sheet from the Basic Black DSP, and topped them with a layer of Whisper White Cardstock. I did one layer of the Dotty Angles stamps in So Saffron, followed by another overlapping layer in Daffodil Delight.
I stamped the larger flower from the Mixed Bunch collection in Basic Gray and punched it with the Bloom punch, topped it with a Flower Shop stamp in Daffodil Delight (punched with the Pansy punch), and then topped that with a stamp from the Petite Petals set in Basic Black (punched with the Petite Petals punch). The flowers are layered with Stampin' Dimensionals. I cut the "Hello" thinlit from the Hello You set on Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and adhered it with glue dots. To top it off, I added a few pearls from the Basic Pearls Embellishments kit and colored those with a Blendabilities marker from the Rich Razzleberry set. Links to all these items can be found below!
