No Time To Stamp?

I wanted to use some new stamps today so I used a brand new background stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms on this, the first of many thank you notes I’ll be needing. I also used another relatively new set from Flourishes called Open to Love, and I love the window in that set — it is such fun to create with this arched window image.

To make this card, I first stamped the Pretty Pattern background by CHF (a Lisa Strahl design — YAY, LISA!!!) onto Whisper White paper with Color Box Chalk Ink in Rose Coral. I then stamped the arched frame image on top of the background. Then I stamped my 3 vases of flowers over the background and colored them in with SU markers. I then cut out my arched window, mounted it onto the DP with the coordinating DP beneath it. The lacey scallops are the lace punch by Martha Stewart. Both stitched ribbons are by SU. The border of lace at the top of the card is adhered with mounting tape to raise it up just a bit to give the feel of a valance. And if you can notice, each lace scallop is actually double - I like to narrowly border this scallop with another, offsetever so slightly,to highlight it more — it barely shows, but it really makes a difference in how much the border stands out! The Thank You is from Flourished Words. Fun card to make!!! Love these little vases and my new CHF background was so fun to work with, too!!
