Merci

I thought I would assemble my new stamp set and actually play with it!!! Imagine that??? LOL Did I assemble the whole set? That would be silly when I only wanted to play with two of the pieces!!! I will finish that up later!! Heard that one before! LOL

This card was easy and VERY fun to make. I used the Berry Bliss decorative paper, Chocolate Chip, and Ruby Red. On the Ruby Red piece I used the new "Lots of Dots" wheel. I just LOVE wheels. I went in all directions to get that effect in the background. I thought it added a nice touch. I stamped the flower image on watercolor paper and used markers. My original plan was to use the blender pen but with the softer colors I chose I ended up just coloring right from the marker. I used the scallop punch for the "Merci" and I added a button to give a little something to that upper corner. It was subtle enough to blend in without being the focal point. I sponged all the edges and then put the card together.

When I make card that have dark card stock for the main part of the card I will cut a piece of Whisper White or Very Vanilla for the inside to write on. And I have learned to write on them first and then tape them in. For me it's pretty much guaranteed that if I tape the inside piece on and write on it later I mess it up!!! I'm serious here. It's got to be psychological but I tell you, every time I write in a card I mess it up. So I leave them blank until I'm ready to use them.

This card was made entirely with Stampin' Up! products. Check here for more cards and projects using only Stampin' Up! products.
