Today I'm sharing with you a card I made using two of the stamps
released from the recent Magnolia
Wedding Collection, which is currently available at 7 Kids College Fund.
I've used Tilda
with Peony and the Wedding
Background. I used a gate fold and used my Martha
Stewart Scoring Board (which is HALF the price of a ScorPal, but
produces much sharper lines) to score my lines. Since this is a 5.5"
square gate fold card, I scored along the length of the paper at 2.75"
and 8.25".
I thought it would be fun to go with some bright, funky colors for these images so after I chose a few pieces of paper from my BasicGrey Kioshi pad, I gathered up my distress reinkers and got to work! It's super easy to match the inks to the paper colors because you can blend and mix the inks to get the perfect color. To distress the edges, I used my Tim Holtz Paper Distresser, which is a great value if you don't have one yet. The reason why I say it's a great value is because the design of this paper distresser if very ergonomic. There's a lot less stress on my fingers when I'm distressing the paper, as opposed to scissors or sand paper. For those who have arthritis or pain, I highly recommend the Zutter Distrezz-It All because there's no strain on your fingers at all - the machine does all the distressing! I used Stickles over the flowers and the water to give them some life :) The dots on her cheeks were created using the Inkssentials Opaque White Pen.
I really love the versatility of these stamps because not only can you use them for wedding cards, but you also use them for summer cards, especially if you live by the beach like I do :)
