Free As A Bird stamp set for TGIFC 323 & Fab Friday 217

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

Well I'm not sure about today's card, when I sat down to create last evening, its what came to be, so I'm posting it.    I really love Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink and Granny Apple Green together,  they're the colours for the  TGIF Challenge #323 this week.  I didn't reach for DSP or a stamp set first, instead I reached for the ink pads this time.  At the same time I was inspired by the neat sketch from Fab Friday #217.  So a geometric card of sorts was created using Shimmery White cardstock and Water Painters.  I hope my card inspires you to try something new and create in a different way, you never know what will appear :)

Please click on the images for both challenges to visit their blog posts directly and enjoy the inspiration!

 


 


And here's the card details:

4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Basic Black card base  (4 1/4 x 11 folded in half)

4 1/8 x 5 3/8 Polished Pink cardstock (CS)

4 x 5 1/4 Shimmery White CS

Ink Pads: Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink & Granny Apple Green

Black Memento Ink pad

Free As A Bird stamp set

Water Painters


Assembly & Trix:

*  Using the largest Water Painter wet the entire surface of the Shimmery White C.S

*  Add a stipe of each colour, clean the brush between colours.

*  Stamp the "thank you" sentiment using Memento Black Ink on Shimmery White CS and fussy cut out.

*  Stamp the smallest flower in the Free As A Bird stamp set twice using Fresh Freesia and fussy cut out.

*  Layer the flowers and sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin' Dimensionals.  ***Trix, to make the sentiment really pop off the card double up on dimensionals and cut them to fit and work around the flowers.


Enjoy and have a super day!
