I have two cards for your inspiration today. 

Card One: Happy Together

IO Stamps Links:
Inside

Floral Heart H20902 (flowers around verse)
How I made it:
  • On white bristol card stock, I white embossed the Peony Pattern.
  • I used Shabby Shutters distress ink, and an applicator, to create the background color by brushing the color over the entire panel, over the embossing.  I used a soft clean cloth to clean the ink off of the embossing.
  • I attached the image panel to a white A2 card front.
  • I stamped the Happy Together verse with the same green ink, and attached it to the card front.
  • I white embossed the Floral Heart image, painted the flowers, and fussy cut the flowers and added them to the card front along and behind the verse panel.
  • INSIDE:  I stamped the Day Filled With Love verse with the same green distress ink.

Card Two: Day Filled With Love

IO Stamps/Dies Links:
Inside


How I made it:
  • I cut branches from the Leafy Branch die from soft green card stock, and added them to a white card stock panel.  
  • I cut lavender hearts from the Mini Hearts Row die, and added them
  • I cut the Stitched Tag die, and cut the bottom off, and with a harlequin pattern stencil, I brushed lavender and green distress inks to create a pattern on the tag.
  • I stamped Day Filled With Love verse on the tag, added some silk ribbons, and added them to the panel with the die cuts.
  • I added the panel to a lavender A2 card front.
  • INSIDE: I used a stencil and distress inks to add some leaf branches.
And there you have my cards for Day 2 of the January 2021 release.  I hope you have found inspiration here.

  19. Lynda, your cards are always amazing! I love how soft the first card is and how you isolated the flower from the floral heart stamp to integrate it with the peony background! Gorgeous!!! And the card is striking in its simplicity! I adore the color combo and the branches, but the stencil makes this card! (Shhh, we won't tell that to the folks at IO!)😊
