Layers Of Beauty - Thinking Of You

Hello Stampers,

It's a double challenge kind of day for today's card. Using the theme from The Paper Players and a color challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments. I wasn't to sure of the color challenge at first because I couldn't figure out a direction to go until I saw the theme challenge but I love how my card turned out & I hope you do as well, even if I used a few retired products.

I started the card with a layer of Basic White Cardstock where I used one of our retired masks from the Foursquare Decorative Masks with Soft Sea Foam Ink & a Blender Brush, to lightly add a subtle background. I took another piece of Basic White Cardstock stamping the largest flower stamp in the Layers Of Beauty bundle using Memento Black Ink, coloring it in with Cloud Cover, Misty Moonlight & Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Combo Packs before die-cutting it & layering it onto the previous piece, then cut down some of the hang over of the floral stamp. For the sentiment, I used the retired Sentimental Framing Stamp Set as I wanted a larger stamp to take up some of the open space. These layers were then placed onto a Cloud Cover Cardstock layer followed by a Misty Moonlight Cardstock base. To finish the card, I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

~Thanks for stopping by!
