Hey There
With Valentine's day around the corner I decided to make a simple and elegant card. This is infact my first card on Neenah cardstock. It is very high quality cardstock paper and I am so in love with it, infact planning to buy a whole bunch of it on my next craft supplies order. Since I haven't brought a scoring board yet, I brought pre-scored Neenah solar white cardstock. So for those of you who are new to cardmaking like me can start with pre-scored cards and once you get the hang of making cards, you can easily buy expensive scoring boards. Otherwise if you figure out later that cardmaking is not your thing, those money spent will be a loss.
For stamping I used 'We r Memory keeper' blossoms stamp set. It was the first stamp set I purchased. It got cute flowers of various sizes and a branch of a tree. I love florals basically that's why I went for it. On my next order I am planning to buy 'Avery Elle' Laurels stamp set. It also has many cute rose images and beautiful sentiments.
As for the ink, I recently brought a set of four Hero Arts 1' x 1' square vibrant dye ink cubes called 'Kelly's Outdoor'. It has nice rich colour and is so awesome. So I used the green shade form that set for my branch on the card. For the pink flowers I used Hero Arts shadow ink colour Bubble gum.
I wanted a bit more texture to the card, but I didn't have embossing paste or powder with me. So that is also on the top of my list for my next craft order. For now I settled with a wood grain pattern paper from Papericious. I am happy with it, still I wish I had some embossing paste with me to do a nice textured background. To finish it off I tied a bow with blue satin ribbon. The bow added the magic I believe. To match the bow, I put on a blue polka dotted washi tape also. I love polka dots.
So that's for today, a simple Valentine's day card... To be frank I am very happy with it once it was finished. So excited to make more cards... However I am not so sure if I will get time with my end-sem exams on the way... Maybe after that I will get to come here and put on a new post....
P.S. Anu this card is on the way to you...
