Waltzingmouse Blog Hop :: New Baby

Hey there! I decided to come back today to share another card for Waltzingmouse's Waltz. The challenge was to use shades of blue and green. I focused on softer hues of the color combination and highlighted the blue a little more than the green.

Instructions

1. Trim rustic cream cardstock to 4" x 5.25" and stamp polka dotted background.
2. Add distress ink the the entire stamped background and edges.
3. Stamp scalloped border image on white cardstock and cut out.
4. Add twine treatment, then adhere to polka dot background stamped cardstock.
5. Adhere green cardstock to the back of the chipboard frame.
6. Add distress ink to the frame and green cardstock, then stamp sentiment.
7. Pop chipboard frame off polka dotted background stamped cardstock.
8. Add flower.
9. Mat on green A2 card base.

Tips & Tricks

• Stamping Off - To achieve a softer hue, stamp off on scrap paper, then onto your project. I used this technique for the polka dotted background as well as the scalloped border.
