For my project I decided to pull some paper from the Adventure Fundamental collection.  I used this floral print in Raspberry, and stamped the Celebrate in the same ink color.  The mat for the banner is a a Lagoon watercolor pattern from the same collection.  I then used the stamp set Beautiful You for the flowers, stamping them in 2nd generation, for the first 2 layers, and the final layer in 1st generation.  I used the silver shimmer trim for my accent and some doodling to finish off the card.

Now "Hop" on over to Melinda Everitt's blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!

Beautiful You Triple Layer Stamping

So today I spent a little time creating in-between hanging out with the kids.  I had them help me create a video to show how easy it is to create a beautifully stamped triple layer image. I used one of our new Thin Cut and Stamp bundle called Beautiful You.

Here is a little video showing how easy it is to use these stamps(I had a little helper by the name of Abbigail help create the video, waiting for my tripod to arrive).

I created my base using Pixie and Heather Cardstock, and now that our cardstock is two-toned, I was able to use the lighter shade for the Heather cs.  To cover the seam, I used a piece of White Shimmer Trim. I matted White Daisy Cardstock ontop of the same shade of Heather cs for my sentiment.  After stamping the flowers and leaves, I cut them out using the Thin Cuts, and adhered them using 3D Foam Tape. To finish is off I added 3 Bashful Pearls.

Supplies used:
White Daisy CS
Pixie CS
Heather CS (lighter side)
White Shimmer Trim
Bashful ink
Pixie ink
Blossom ink
Willow ink
Black ink
Bashful Pearls
3D Foam Tape
