I have two cards for your inspiration today.

Card One - Humblest Tasks

IO Stamps/Die Links:

Pin Cushion F13959

Humblest Tasks C13962

3/8" Buttons DIE1002-E

How I made it:

• I used the centers of two frame dies.  On the ivory panel, I stamped the Pin Cushion and the Humblest Tasks verse with archival brown ink.
• 
  
   
• I also stamped the Pin Cushion onto a piece of floral patterned paper.
• I fussy-cut the patterned paper one, and attached it over the stamped image on the ivory panel, then attached that to the pink panel.  I added some shading with a graphite pencil.
  
• I layered this onto some more of the patterned paper, then onto an ivory A2 card front.
• I used the Buttons die to cut some buttons, added some embroidery floss for 'thread,' and attached them to the card front.
• I created a bow and attached that to finish the front.
• INSIDE:  A panel of pp,a panel of ivory cs, and a stamped, fussy-cut image of the pin cushion finish off the inside.

  Card Two - Faith Camelia
   

  

  IO Stamps Links:
  Camelia CC409
  Faith D17325
  Miracle E13859 (inside)
   
  How I made it: 
  • 
    I white embossed the Camelia image onto watercolor paper.
    
  • I watercolored the flowers with Gansai Tambi watercolors, and used a rectangle die to cut out the panel.
  • I added the flower watercolor panel to a black A2 card front.
  • I white embossed the Faith verse, and fussy cut it, then added it to the card front with foam tape for dimension. 

   

  • INSIDE:  I stamped the Everything Is A Miracle verse in black onto a pink panel and attached it.
