These are the cards I made while getting to know the lovely stamp set, Beautiful Friendship.
- The larger pair of roses was stamped off (onto what became the second card) so that I could get a lighter rose, with the third rose stamped in full-strength Calypso Coral.
- Then I just got to know the stamp set a little better by stamping around this trio adding leaves in Pear Pizzazz and smaller floret in Mint Macaron.
- I used one of the smaller dotted images to give the impression of greens grounding the roses.
- A skinny Calypso Coral border with a textured Eyelet Lace corner make for a simple card sketch.
- A white flax ribbon plus a few subtle sequins finish off this card, which would be perfect for a wedding.
- If you are worried about getting layers even and straight, this corner card layout is easy because you just line everything up at the corner. If the measurements aren't perfect no one will really know.
Here's the quickie I did with the bolder images:
- The roses in the foreground are, of course the roses I stamped off to get a lighter shade for the first card. I used Very Vanilla as the card stock here. Otherwise the colors are the same.
- The background is what I like to call "sloppy stamping" . I've had others say, "No, that's second generation stamping." Well, technically it is, but I think of 2nd generation stamping as more deliberate and planned. This is a little more freewheeling.
- A Mint Macaron Textile ribbon plus a few dimensionals finish off this simple card.
