Last week I made a card (you can see it here) and had a bunch of lovely pieces left over. I figured a second card was practically made; I just needed to combine the pieces together. The kraft label die cut and the strip of floral paper were left overs from the other card and I still had the purple card stock out and the flower die set, and this is how it came together:
I stamped the smaller part of the sentiment first and then stamped the "wonderful" using my mini MISTI. After stamping it on the kraft label, I adhered the flower die cut in place and since it was still in my MISTI, I was able to stamp the sentiment again on TOP of the flower. It creates a seamless look and really fun (easy) technique! I finished everything off with a sheer, sparkly organza ribbon and bow and a few clear rhinestones to add a little bit more sparkle.
Here is my original card:
Stamps: Your Next Stamp "Whatnot Sentiment Set Thirteen"
Dies: Taylored Expressions "Floral Stems"; unbranded stitched label die from Amazon; My Favorite Things "Blueprints 12" stitched rectangle
