White card stock, 8.5 x 5.5 folded in half for jacket

White card stock, 5.5 x 4.25 (card front)

Versacolor inks in Narcissus, Burgundy, Ash Rose, Sage, Split Pea, Green Tea

Tapestry Hearts has much larger images and we are going to use it to quickly decorate the card jacket and then use the Dotted Heart Border for the focal point.

 

  Stamp Tapestry Hearts in Sage ink and then smudge the edges of the cardstock with Sage as well.

 

Using Narcissus ink, smudge a rectangular shape on inside of 2.75 square card stock

Stamp images shown above in:

Dotted Heart - Burgundy and Ash Rose

Small Heart - Ash Rose

Flower - Sage, Split Pea and Burgundy

Leaves - Green Tea

Use Clear Gellyroll stardust pen to draw around edges using a piece of card stock as guide

 

Stamp bird with letter in Dye Black and cut out with small scissors.  Put pop dot on back and center on stamped 2.75 square card stock.

Stamp Dear Friend in Dye Black ink and then stamp leaves in Sage, Sprig in Sage and Burgundy and then stamp flower in Split Pea

Using a straight edge, line up over words to center and mark a cutting line.  Cut out in a rectangular shape and use a red marker to lightly drag along edge to give a little color.  Apply pop dots on back.

Using embossing folder of your choice, emboss lower part of card.  Assemble with die cut scalloped square (Spellbinders), add ribbon and you are all done!

 Until next time, Happy Stamping from Susan and the rest of the crew at Rubber Stamp Tapestry!
