Good evening my Paper Pumpkin lovin' friends! How are you today? This month's kit "MEANINGFUL FLOWERS" features blue Forget Me knot and pink Lotus flowers. Sooooo pretty!!
The kit includes all the supplies to create 4 each of 2 beautiful designs. And, you get TWO stamp sets in this month's kit instead of just one. Woot Woot for extra goodies!
The card base is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (scored at 4 1/4") Orchid Oasis Cardstock. I've added a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" layer of Melon Mambo Cardstock on the front and also on the inside of the card.
Then, a 5 1/4" x 4" layer of Basic White Cardstock in front of that. For the card front, I used the Artistic Mix Stencils and Blending Brushes with ink to get that gorgeous background. It's quite simple to do. I just brushed color at an angle, a little strip at a time.
I added a 5 1/4" x 1 1/4" strip of Melon Mambo Cardstock near the base, to just tone down a bit of that background for my focal image. This piece was punched using the Decorative Circle Punch and a part of an envelope from the kit. I used that because the White in our Paper Pumpkin kits isn't actually the same white as our Basic White. You can't tell with the background layer because of all the color. But when you put the label strip and that punched circle side by side, you can really tell! YIKES!
