Hi friends! I am excited to be participating in Day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Shine On Blog Hop, sharing tons of inspiration using the beautiful new products from the new Shine On release. (click HERE to see the full release!) You should have arrived here from Barbara Tarayao, and your next stop is Keisha Charles. You can also start back at the Simon Says Stamp Blog to see the full hop list. Stay tuned till the end to see the details on the Gift with Purchase and the giveaway information!
I created this monochromatic thank you card using lots of new goodies from the Shine On release and some pretty cardstock. Let’s get started with the details!
To begin, I die cut the new Dancing Meadows floral cover plate from plain white cardstock, removing the die cuts and reserving the negative cover plate die cut for a future project. I then used my OLO Markers to color each individual flower and piece of greenery in a beautiful monochromatic aqua color palette. I kept the color palette simple to keep each element cohesive!
After I had completed coloring all of the floral elements, I die cut the detail layer of the absolutely gorgeous Swirled Thank You from some shimmering glitter cardstock, then backed it with a vellum die cut shadow layer. I adhered the two layers together with liquid adhesive, then cut very thin strips of foam adhesive to place behind the solid lines of the sentiment die cut, effectively hiding the foam adhesive to keep the vellum nice and clean.
After adhering the sentiment to a crisp turquoise A2 card front, I arranged the colored flowers and foliage around the sentiment, adherign them with a combination of liquid, single, and double foam adhesive to create multiple levels of height and dimension on the card front. For a final touch of elegance and luxury, I added beautiful Opal Pawsitively Dazzling Gems to the centers of the flowers. I just love how much sparkle this adds to the card front!
