Marvelous Monday - Elements of Style Stamp Set

Happy Monday Stampers! 

Today's project features the Elements of Style stamp set. This elegant card is made with chocolate chip, blushing  bride and whisper white cardstock. The framed flowers embossing folder was used to outline the blushing bride piece which I sponged the edges with regal rose ink to give it a more distressed appearance. 

The floral flourish image is my absolute favorite stamp from this set. The image was inked in both regal rose and chocolate chip ink using my Stampin' Write markers, then stamped onto the whisper white cardstock. The bird image was inked in chocolate chip, then cut out and popped up with stampin dimensionals. 

The sentiment comes from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, and the bow is some old striped chocolate chip ribbon. The card wasn't complete until I added an antique brad to the center of the bow for a stunning polished look. As many of you who know me, pink and brown is my favorite color combination and in my opinion a very elegant way to wish someone special a very happy birthday. 

Hope you've enjoyed today card. Please leave me a comment to let me know your thoughts on this creation. See you here again tomorrow for Technique Tuesday. 

Happy Stamping!

Fabulous Friday - Elegant Thank You

Happy Friday Crafters!

Well here in Michigan we are starting the weekend with 45 degree temperatures and highs around 60 degrees. Of course we are all not too thrilled with the sudden cold temperatures. The weather we are feeling today is more like the weather we experience in mid October or November. Despite the frigidness that has suddenly come upon us, I am ecstatic that its another Fabulous Friday! 

For today's card, I am showcasing the Elements of Style stamp set. This stamp set is one of my favorites and each time I use it, I find more and more ways to reveal its beauty. For this card, I created my own patterned paper with the flourish stamp from the set using basic back ink. I then continued the theme by making the flourish the actual focal image of the card. Of course to make the card a true beauty I used the elegant, yet simple color scheme of basic black, whisper white, and cherry cobbler cardstock. 

Then enhanced the image with a little embossing from the lattice embossing folder and finished the card with the thank you sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. 

This same design could be used for a wedding card or even a femenine birthday card. The possibilities with the Elements of Style set is endless. Hope you enjoyed todays card feature.

Until next time happy stamping.
