To make the first card, I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White using Spellbinders Labels 23 die template. Then I sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink while still in the die template.
Sponged Memento Angel Pink.
Sponged Memento Rose Bud.
I removed the die template and then I stamped the flower image twice. I used a sticky note to mask the white section.
I used Copic YG23 on the leaves and stems.
Used Y17 on the flower centers and RV25 on the petals. (sorry I missed the shot on the RV25)
I used a smaller die template to sponged the sentiment layer the same what I had done the first one, then I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the new Pure Luxury Petals and Wings pattern paper to layer, along with Pure Luxury Passionate Pink. The card base is Just Peachy.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!
I always look forward to see your instructions. Very inspiring!
