My favorite catalog sample is on page 3 using Hello, Lovely – so I cased it   I used a notecard to make the base.  The notecards are so easy to use!  Stamp the background in Crisp Cantaloupe (Dictionary background stamp) and then make a Polaroid frame out of Calypso Coral – using the Square Framelits to die cut the inside piece.  I stamped the Hello, Lovely sentiment on Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and punched the butterfly from a piece of I Am Me Designer Series paper.  Since I didn’t have any buttons that matched, I made a Crisp Cantaloupe rose using the Clay molds.

I case the idea for this from Shelli Gardner (!)  but I changed several things.  I kept the layout and the elements on the card and that’s about it. 

Since I don’t have the background stamp she used, I chose Dictionary for my background.  To make the lighter/darker areas on the background stamp, I inked it in Crumb Cake and then took a sponge dauber and added some Early Espresso.  The center piece is the Framelit from Chalk Talk and the stamp set I used is Lacy & Lovely.  I also switched out the sentiment and used Perfect Pairs.  I love the card – and really love how changing just a few things makes it my own (kind of!)

To make the big flower, I punch 3 or 4 pansy punches, misted them with water and wadded each punch up.  After they dried, I stacked them together and used glue to hold them.  Once it was dry I gathered the petals into the look I wanted and glued it to the card.  (I might need to hand deliver this one!)  Hugs, Fran
