This was so fun to make. I can’t take credit for the original idea, though, a fellow demo came up with it. (If I had her name, I would mention it.) I started with a pool party card base, then cut 5 1/4 x 4 piece of the Lovely in Linen DSP. I took a scrap of basic white CS & proceeded with my main image. To do this, I used the stampin write markers in colors of pool party, night of navy, soft succulent, & evening evergreen. Colored the flowers with pool party & then added night of navy & with the leaves I used soft succulent & followed up with evening evergreen. Now for the fun, amazing part- before stamping your image spray it all with water & then stamp. Hold down for a little bit, so that you get a good image. Cut white paper so that it fits nicely on the DSP layer. Next put in Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder & run throught embossing machine for awesome texture. Adhere to DSP layer. Wrap pool party ribbon around these 2 layers and adhere to card base. Next, stamp sentiment on white CS and punch out with Lasting Label punch. Using stampin write markers, take some of the smaller images out of the stamp set and color directly on the stamps again & stamp on the label. Adhere with stampin dimensionals to front of card towards the bottom. Make a bow with pool party ribbon & with a glue dot, adhere to side of label. The final touch is to put iridescent rhinestone jewels on the 2 big flowers. I could have made this in several different colors just because it was so fun & relaxing to do. I did do a red version, but without the embossing on the white layer.
Colors used are sweet sorbet, pale papaya for flowers & soft succulent & evening evergreen for leaves. I used another piece of Lovely in Linen DSP. The ribbon is white glittered organdy in the annual catalog.
