I used on of the Simon Says Stamp Elegant Roses dies and one of the new Partial Cut leaves to make a thank you card...
I die cut the roses and layered...filling them with...what else...paint chips(I'm in love, what can I say! Hey, for flowers like these, shades of the same color are perfect!). I embossed the rose die onto the card panel three times for the positioning of the die cut leaves...the dies only partially cut the leaves(like their name says:)!), so they are left ON the cardstock. Here's kind of what it looked like, on one I decided not to use...
It's nice to have a visual of the flowers, so you can know where to die cut the leaves. I used the "thanks" stamp from the Simon set, Thankful Heart., then put a piece of green cardstock behind the die cut leaves for their color. Here's a close up...
I take Noah to the local botanical gardens whenever the day is nice...they have a HUGE rose garden...can't wait til they begin to bloom...my favorite flower in the whole wide world!! Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa
Love how this turned out, Lisa! Can't wait to give this idea a try!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I would love to see how you actually use the paint chips. A quick tutorial?
ReplyDeleteAmazing, just amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnother inspirational fab card with dies and paint chips. Here comes the big question: I live in Sweden, and can't for the life of me figure out what paint chips are. Where do you buy them? I'd love to give some of your ideas a try, but I don't know the first thing about paint chips.
ReplyDeleteThat card is stunning. I love your cards and look forward to them everyday. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThose roses are beautiful! The paint chips are a great way to vary the tone of color! I love the CAS style. This card, to me, is signature "Lisa"!
ReplyDeleteAs always, beautiful card and layout !
ReplyDeleteWow, this is gorgeous, and I just had to hop over from Lin's blog to see what inspired her! Love it! Hugs!
