Week 2 – Darling Duckling
I have two cards today, a Mother’s Day card and a Sympathy card, both using products from the @stampinupofficial Floral Impressions Suite Collection.
Card 1 – Mother’s Day card
This handmade Mother’s Day card features; Impressions Abloom Bundle, Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP) and two Euphemera Packs, Foiled Frames & Labels and the Greetings for All Mix & Match. These diecut greetings are just brilliant for quick additions to your cards.
The designer papers is from the same pack and the flowers are stamped in Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger with the Secret Sea centres. The leaves are diecut in White and Garden Green ink blended on using Blending Brushes.
You can see that gorgeous gold foiling on this circle, it’s just so lush!
These 2025-2027 In Color™ Flat Pearls are stunning too and must have if you haven’t already got them! A White Baker’s Twine bow is added on a Glue Dot.
Card 2 – Sympathy Card
This is known as the Faux Camera Shutter technique made with a piece of 6″ x 6″ DSP (free tutorial here).
I started with a Darling Duckling cardbase with a piece of Basic White which has been dry embossed with the Mini Corrugated EF. I used my Darling Duckling Marker to splatter some fine ink onto the card. The Faux Camera Shutter is matted onto a piece of Garden Green cardstock, then adhered to the card. Some flowers and leaves are die cut in Darling Duckling, Garden Green, Pecan Pie and Timid Tiger cardstock and adhered to the card. The banner at the bottom was an offcut from creating the faux shutter!
Not sure if you can see the ink splatter on the corrugated card? It just adds a little rustic charm.
The sentiment is from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Euphemera Pack and added on Dimensionals. Some of the same flat pearls were used on this card also.
on the inside, I added two more of those offcuts to a Basic White insert.
Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Secret Sea inspiration.
