Get Well Wishes

Good afternoon everyone, hope your is day is going great!!!  I would like to share my last card using the newly released Old Well stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  For this card I only used the sweet little bunnies and sentiment.  

To create the brick wall I embossed white cardstock with Tim Holtz's brick wall embossing folder.  Using pastel chalks I colored the wall and torn along one edge.  The wall was adhere to the front panel of my card and distressed around the edges.  The sentiment was stamped using versamark and embossed with Raspberry Tart EP.  Using 1/4" Tear-ific Tape and Green Nugget glitter a glittery edge was create for the card base.

This sweet butterfly is from Sparkle N Sprinkle's Brocade Background stamp set.  It was stamped using pastel inks and glittered using a glue pen, Spirited Green and Evening Glow glitter.  

I stamped those cute little bunnies with black ink and colored using copic markers.  I used Elizabeth Craft's Design Outdoors Edges die for the grass and Memory Box Fence Die for the little fence.  A small strip of Mon Ami Gabby diamond mesh was added to the middle of the grass and finished off with a sweet dragonfly brad.

Thanks so much for stopping by and remember....Keep Stamping!!

I just love all of the beautiful stamp sets this month, and have had so much fun designing with them.  The Old Well was my choice for the reveal, but if you read to the end there will be a sneak peek of the Friendship Flowers and Spring Window!!

I stamped the image using black ink and colored with copic markers.  It was then fussy cut out and glittered using a glue pen,  Orchid and Bronze Splendor glitter.  I also stamped the bucket twice fussy cut and placed on top of the 1st image using pop dots.  That sweet little butterfly is a SU die.

The sentiment was stamped with brown ink and fussy cut around.  Pop dots were used to adhere to the card.

For the bottom brushes and grass I applied green Liquid Applique heat set and was so surprise how it turned out!!  I had never used Liquid Applique before, but I like how it puffs up while heating.  

 To create the background I first laid my brick wall stencil on top of the cardstock and cover it with embossing paste.  Removed the stencil and while the paste was still wet I lightly dusted with Sparkling Snow glitter.  The sparkle is just so pretty!!

Next it was time to create that pretty braided side!  You can find a tutorial as well as the template Here.

I just love how pretty this braid looks on the side of my card.  I finished it off with ribbon.  This is a must try, you will love the look!!

I finished off the inside of the card with those cute little bunnies and a scalloped punch from Fiskers.

A little sneak peek at projects to come using the new stamps!!  Hope you will check back to see the reveals!!
