Thinking of You! Create with Connie and Mary

This weeks Create with Connie & Mary Blog Hop is a focus on a ‘neglected product’. I thought about this quite a bit and settled on two things that I used on this card—a spritzer filled with reinker and rubbing alcohol and the Rooted in Nature stamp set and Nature’s Roots dies.

For this card I wanted a subtle background so I ran the Whisper White layer through the Coastal Weave 3D folder. I mixed 12 drops of Soft Seafood reinker with rubbing alcohol in my spritzer and then spritzed the right hand side of the card (under neath where I was planning to have my sentiment). I also flicked the area with my Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Write marker. The mist of green gave a soft subtle effect

You can see the soft feel of the spritzed and flicked ink in this photo. I love it!

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark and embossed in sliver and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The little button is from the Arts & Crafts die collection.

I stamped the leaves in Soft Seafoam and Coastal Cabana on their coordinating card stock and then used the Nature’s Roots dies to cut them out. I had to add my favourite thing of all time, Metallic Thread, to this project as well. It definitely has NOT been a neglected item in my craft room! A few Rhinestones and I thought this card was complete :)

On your next stop on the Hop you are going to visit Connie! I can’t wait to see what her ‘neglected’ stamp item is!
