One of the nicest things about the new Classic Friendship stamp set* by Cathy Zielske is how there are sentiments not only for any occasion, but for so many different size spaces. I decided to put together a card using both the Simon Says Stamp Artful Palette dies and templates, and the Tim Holtz idea-ology Backdrops Volume 5 paper pack.
I used the Artful Palette dies to cut 6 pieces of red patterned paper from the Backdrops (this works perfectly with all of Tim’s new Palette Paper Collection too). I took the largest square and heat embossed it with the casual ‘Hey There’ sentiment using Ranger Ink’s Vintage Pearl embossing powder (I’m a bit obsessed with this off-white, pearly powder right now). I did the same thing with the ‘what’s shakin’?’ stamp.
I took a couple of the die cut pieces and applied little bits of Tim Holtz Cello Tape on one edge to add to the vintage feel.
I splattered a 4 x 5.25” piece of Spellbinders Alabaster cardstock with Dr. Ph Martin’s Black Star India Ink using a tiny paintbrush. I matted it onto black cardstock. I used the layering templates to figure out the placement and then attached all the pieces with foam adhesive.
Finally, I used some of the same paper along with black glossy cardstock to cut 1 heart and 3 butterflies using the Artful Palette dies, and adhered those to the card.
