Card Of The Day:

Monday - March 23, 2009

Today's pretty card from Ricky features the "Wonderful Watercolors" set stamped & sponged in various shades of green: Kiwi Kiss, Old Olive & Always Artichoke. Pretty in Pink card stock forms the base card as well as the stamping surface for flowers, leaves & a greeting. Kiwi Kiss card stock was used to mat the flowers and greeting panel. The Eyelet border punch was used along the bottom of the Kiwi Kiss greeting panel and a small little tear-drop leaf (from the Itty Bitty Buds hostess set) was stamped repeatedly. The greeting was stamped with Always Artichoke ink to make it stand out more. Sponging with Kiwi Kiss ink was done around all the edges on the pink layers before matting them. The final touches are some Crystal Effects at both flower centers (this makes the Artichoke ink look darker) & some glitter was added to all the petals with some 2-way glue.
