CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and CardMaker Magazine Blog Hop

    Hello Folks! Today the fabulous teams at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and CardMaker Magazine are joining forces to showcase all things floral. Fun! You may have come from CardMaker Magazine, but if not, feel free to head there to hop from the beginning.


This card uses several old and new CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, featuring a twirling ballerina from the popular Tutu (which is now back in stock), a sentiment from Puffy Heart Love, a subtle border of flowers on top from Full on Floral, and a textured ground from Starlequin. Lots of different sets, but they all go together so well!

  For the tutu, I loosely watercolored the different flowers, and then decided it would be fun to make an additional tutu and layer on the first to let it really shine.


After masking off all but the bottom of the card and sponging ink to ground the sentiment, it still looked a little unfinished, so I stamped the harlequin pattern in the same color ink. The "Mwah" sentiment is inked with the lighter color orange first, and then some darker orange colors on the ends.


  If you're in the mood for these, or other florals, there is an entire Florals section at CAS-ual Fridays. Don't forget, you can use the KELLY2017 code to get 15% off any of your stamp or die purchases there.
 
Your next stop on the hop is Jen Shults, who I'm sure has something gorgeous to share with you!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
