Reminder of the pieces I used for Tuesday's Technique card. On Tuesday I spritzed over the pieces. Here is what I did for one of today's cards.
I took a sponge dauber and sponged over the cut out section of the thinlits. Some of the ink went over the edges so I did a little trimming to get this look.
When I saw the thinlits and how they looked after spritzing and sponging I thought they might look good on a card. So waste not want not this is what I came up with.
This set has really cute thinlits and some sayings that are written in a stylish script. I have had a lot of fun playing with So in Love this week. I hope you have gotten some inspiration from my cards.
And if anything you are stamping with comes up missing, don't forget to check under your laptop.
So can you see what is new in this card?
This card uses the new Falling Petals embossing folder as its background. Embossing folders make great backgrounds don't they.
Do you recognize the ribbon? It is one of the free offers from the Sale a Bration catalog that ends on March 31. I was not sure I would like the ribbon until I got my hands on it. It is soft and has a subtle metallic look to it.
A second way to change the background of any card is to use designer paper.
This designer paper is called Falling in Love and goes well with the So in Love bundle. The colors are soft and soothing. This paper reminds me of the Bokeh technique. I will have to feature that in a card soon.
Finally just using cardstock that contrasts colors is a quick and fast way like you see in this card.
I used Blushing Bride and Soft Suede cardstock as the background and Crumb Cake for the accent piece. I was so glad to find my missing thinlit so that I could finish making this card.
Come back tomorrow to see what else I did with the thinlits I used on Tuesday's Technique card. I try to never waste anything when I am making cards.
Can you guess why this is a Wow card for me?
1. Black and White with a spot of color
2. Embossing in white
3. The card uses my favorite thinlit from the set........that happens to be the missing thinlit that was finally found.
Come back tomorrow to see how to change up the background of some simple cards.
Can you guess how I made this card?
1. I cut out 2 of the thinlit images.
2. I placed them on the card stock, top and bottom.
3. I filled a spritzer with rubbing alcohol and Melon Mambo ink refill and spritzed away.
It was fun and easy.
Come back tomorrow to see a wow card I made using this bundle.
Last week I was busy prepping my blog cards when all of a sudden a very important thinlit was missing. I searched the trash and everywhere I could think of and could not find it anywhere. It naturally impeded my progress for my blog posts.
Today, I decided on one last attempt as I had every day since the thinlit went missing and decided to lift up my lap top which always stays in one place. And there it was. I prefer to think that a leprechaun hid it from me, rather than me having a very senior moment. But the lost was found and I am therefore ready for a So in Love week.
The thinlits that go along with this stamp set are the real selling point for me. They are delicate and make a simple card easy. I used the Precision Base plate which make cutting this detailed image so very easy.
Come back tomorrow to see a technique card I made using this same thinlit.
