Stampin Up Happy Watercolor stamp set - a new favorite

I promised I would show you the card I used for my Sale-A-Bration workshop.  It showcases the Happy Watercolor stamp set, Tea Lace Paper Doilies and White Stampin Chalk Marker
 
The first version features a Gold Embossed Tea Lace Paper Doily.  The flowers are stamped with Black StazOn ink and colored with a White Stampin Chalk Marker.  The card is accented with the polka dot washi tape from the Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape set.  I used the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder to add texture to the Coastal Cabana layer.

 Some people prefer a simpler card or just like a different look, so I offered an option with a plain Tea Lace Paper Doily.  There are 3 designs in the set of Watercolor Wonder Washi tape, so I showed the stripe tape on this card.  The Coastal Cabana layer is embossed with the Simply Striped Embossing Folder..

The sentiments are from Stampin' Up Gifts of Kindness stamp set. This is a favorite because it has so many great sayings that fit perfectly in the Word Punch.

Stampin' Up! Blooming with Kindness Sympathy Card

This Stampin' Up! set, Blooming with Kindness, is a very versatile set.  It includes the large flower which can be a focal point or background or even both, as well as sentiments for Thank You, Birthday, Encouragement, and Sympathy.  I needed a larger sentiment for this card, so I chose the sympathy from the Blessings From Heaven stamp set.

Blooming with Kindness stamp set

I layered Sycamore Street (2013 Sale-A-Bration) on Whisper White and attached it to the Summer Starfruit card base with Stampin ' Dimensionals.  I stamped the flower on Whisper White.  I stamped a two more flowers on Whisper White - cut one complete flower and one center and attached each one with Stampin' Dimensionals for a 3D flower.  I adhered a Tea Time Paper Doily to the card base and then attached the image piece with more Dimensionals.  (after I layered it on some Basic Gray card stock.

I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray on Whisper White and punched it out with the Large Oval Punch.  I punched 2 Basic Gray ovals and glue them on the back to form a frame.  I attached this to a Summer Starfruit label that was cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits die.  I used Basic i Gray brads on the label and attached it to the card base with Stampim' Dimensionals.

I sure do use a lot of Stampin' Dimensionals but they really add a lot of visual appeal to a card.

Have fun stampin'!
