Hello with Laurie

Hello, all!! Happy Monday and to my American friends, Happy Memorial Day!!  Today I’m sharing a card made using supplies from the latest release!!  I hope you joined in the super fun blog hop celebrating this release but in case you didn’t, it starts HERE!!  There is still time for you to comment on each blog for a chance to win some fantastic prizes!!!

I just had to use the new Brushstrokes Stamp Set.  This set gives you the look of watercolour brush strokes by just using ink!!!  I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock using the rectangle die from the the new Dotted Patterns Set 1 Creative Dies.  This set is my new favourite!!  It coordinates perfectly with the previously released Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Creative Die Set (in fact I used the two sets together on this card!)

I chose 2 different shades of pink and decided to throw in some gold heat embossing for a bit of pizzaz!!  I used my MISTI to do this as it makes lining up these stamps super easy!  But you certainly don’t need to do it this way.

After the panel was stamped, I die cut a grey frame using the largest die from the Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames set along with the rectangle from the Dotted Patterns 1 set.  I adhered the frame onto an A2 card base and placed the stamped panel inside.

That dotted detail is so fantastic, love!!!  For my sentiment I chose the “hello” die from the new You’re So Ranunculus (bundle, linked here) die set.  This script is so pretty and I thought the size was perfect for the stamped background!  I finished this card of with the new Frosted Hearts embellishments.
