Elements of Style Thank You Card

For our Pacific Stampers’ Group Meeting Swap, I used the Elements of Style and Tiny Tags Stamp Sets to design and create my swap card.

PS Group Meeting Swap Card

Details:

Stamps: Elements of Style and Tiny Tags

Ink: Soft Suede, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive and Certainly Celery

Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Certainly Celery, Soft Suede, Regal Rose

Accessories: Scallop Trim Border Punch, Certainly Celery 5/8″ Satin Ribbon, Blender Pen, Sponge Dauber, Jewelry Tag Medium Punch, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, 2-Way Glue Pen, SNAIL Adhesive, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

To create the soft look of the flowers, I colored in the darker parts of the flowers by dipping the Blender Pen directly onto the Regal Rose Classic Stampin’ Pad.  I used the same technique to color the darker and lighter parts of the leaves as well.  I daubed Pretty in Pink ink onto the flowers.  Then, I applied Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the flowers.
