Graciellie Design

As you may know I am now part of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps creative team, but today I'm also sharing a new stamp set I had the honor of creating for the company:  Floral Greetings .  I had the absolute joy to put together this set for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps that includes two beautiful floral images and a collection of greetings for every occasion! My card for today is very clean with a striking color palette. I wanted the flowers to stand out more than anything else. I colored them -guiding myself by dog roses pictures- in two tones of pink and decoupaged them to add more dimension. To create the decoupage effect I stamped the dogrose branch twice to the background and colored the images. I also stamped the flowers on another piece of white cardstock and colored them. I then fussy cut them and adhere them on top of the previously stamped background, offsetting the flowers a bit to make them look fuller. I also added some sparkle to the images with a shimmer spra...

Adding various textures and embellishments is an essential part of a shabby chic design. All the different elements contribute to the dimension of the card and there is almost no limit as too how much you can add to it.

It's time for the last challenge of the month on Our Daily Bread Designs ! Our challenge this week is No Coloring . Since my husband's birthday is approaching I decided to create a clean and simple birthday card for him, using stamps and dies from the new release. I stamped the new Life is a Gift image twice and added a tiny bit of glitter glue to it. I stamped and heat embossed in silver the word happy from the same set on vellum and then used the "birthday" word from the new Happy Birthday Dies to complete the phrase adhering the word die on the stamped vellum. To finish my CAS design I created a simple frame combining the largest die from Flourished Star Pattern and a smaller matting basics die.
