Today's card highlights the "love" stamp from the set. It's ideal for coloring in with markers, leaving plain or quickly adding funky dots like I did with a Stampin' Up! Rose Red Marker. TIP: I inked the full stamp in Rose Red and carefully removed the ink with a cloth (moistened with a touch of Stampin' Mist) from the "you much" portion of the stamp. Voilà. Omission stamping.
The flower is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. A Pink Pirouette 1/4" Circle and a Cameo Coral Boho Blossom layer over a bloom created with the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine and Stampin' Up!'s Exclusive Birds & Blooms Sizzlits Die (Rose Red card stock). A snippet of Rose Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon pumps up the corner, hanging out with a Wire Clip from the Stampin' Up! Clips Assortment.
The layout was inspired by Julee Tilman's Mojo Monday sketch. The card base is Whisper White (4.25 x 5.5). A Cameo Coral Panel lands on top, textured using Cuttlebug's Swiss Dots and my Big Shot. The lower portion layers Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper (available January 19--this one is very 1960's--groovy, baby) over Rose Red card stock. A strip of Pink Pirouette runs horizontally for additional contrast.
TIP: The "you much" sentiment is part of the "Love" stamp. However, I colored just the text I wanted with a Stampin' Up! Rose Red Marker. One of the benefits of SU's markers is you can isolate parts of a stamp. I layered the sentiment over a Large Oval Punch of Rose Red and topped it off with a label holder from Hodgepodge Hardware. Two Circle Rhinestone brads provide dazzle on each side.
TIP: For a quick and pretty envelope, I adhered the flip side of my 2-sided Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap. Simply turn the flap over and cut away the excess. I love the mix of the formal paper with the perfectly coordinated colors of the retro pattern in the card. Very chic!
