Lovely Dies from Frantic Stamper

 

Hi friends! It's Brenda here with a card inspired by the wonderful Fran over at Frantic Stamper. It was created with the following stamps and dies, most of them from the newest Frantic Stamper release: Vases (FRA-DIE-10984), With Gratitude Words (FRA-DIE-10981), Sassy Seaside Sentiments (FRA-CL-171) and my favorite Double Fishtail Labels (FRA-DIE-09735).

I really love this card and it was quick and easy to make.  I started by stamping the shells on off white cards stock and cutting the vase shape.  The sentiment was cut once in blue and three times in white.  These were layered to create some extra dimension.  The fishtail labels were cut from different patterned papers and everything but the sentiment was "distressed" around the edges with brown ink.  The labels were adhered to a card bland, the vase got a little twine bow and was popped up on some foam squares and the sentiment was glued in place.

The next card was a fun one for coloring.  I used Prismacolor pencils on this fun floral stamp, Florals and Greetings (FRA-CL-172).  This beautiful stamp is wonderfully large and has just a ton of useful sentiments.  It lends itself to a 5x5 square card or you could cut it into panels to create a totally different look...maybe a slimline card?

This was another simple design, but it did take some time to color up and that's where I started after stamping the images.  I stamped the large image and the two single  flowers on Neenah cardstock with VersaFine ink and heat embossed with clear powder.  The images were colored up, large image was matted with black cardstock and adhered  onto an off-white card blank.  The single flowers were fussy cut and popped up on the base image.  The sentiment was stamped on to a trimmed double fishtail label and adhered as shown above. 

Thanks for taking a look today!  I hope you'll check out all the goodies over at Frantic Stamper.

Aloha,

Brenda
