Hi everyone and welcome to the Be Inspired Blog Hop! I am so excited to be joining some of my very talented stamping friends on this international blog hop. You are currently visiting Jennifer Picard in British Columbia, Canada! If you have been hopping along, you most likely arrived here via the insanely creative Stesha Bloodhart.
I know it's been awhile since I have posted, truth be told it's been quite awhile since I have stamped, but what better way to get back at it then using some beautiful new items from the January-June Mini Catalogue?! This month our focus is on the many amazing stamp sets that can be found in this anything but "mini" catalogue. I had a difficult time narrowing down what I wanted to use, but in the end as per usual florals won out;). I decided to use the stunning Honeybee Home Stamp Bundle.
When you have a beautiful stamp set and coordinating dies it really is easy to put together a pretty card in the matter of minutes. Which, after not creating for awhile I could use all the help I could get! I started with a Basic White card base, then die cut a scalloped rectangle from a piece of Simply Marvelous Designer Series Paper (ear it for FREE with qualifying purchase) using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Next I stamped one of the floral images from the set using Night of Navy Ink directly on the DSP. I then stamped it again on Shimmery White Cardstock and die cut it out. Using a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush I lightly blended some of the ink into the flowers to slightly colour them.
To add some more shimmer and shine I added a few die cut sprigs from Gold Metallic Specialty Paper and of course a few Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels for good measure. In person this card has such a soft elegance of shimmer, not an overwhelming in your face glitter, lol. Shimmery White cardstock has more of an off white tone to it so I added in some Vanilla Baker's Twine to tie it all together. All in all a pretty simple
