Today I have a few cards I created using Taylored Expressions April card kit. I know I'm a little behind, but I'm hoping I will be back on track soon.
The April stamp of the month was "Simple Greetings". The patterned paper in the kit was Fancy Pants Park Bench. I love the colors of this paper pad. Coordinating cardstock and ribbon came with the kit, however I used a couple other colors of cardstock, PTI Vintage Cream and Summer Sunrise.
The leaves were stamped on Vintage Ivory cardstock with VersaMagic Sea Breeze, flowers with PTI Summer Sunrise and Harvest Gold. I cut the flowers out by hand and added an amber gem to the center. I also added some stitching with ivory thread.
For this second card, I stamped the leaves using PTI True Black ink. The flower is stamped with VersaMagic Sea Breeze. I added some stitching with black thread and black gems.
The last card is a simple one. I used the gold and black cardstock and ribbon from the kit. I used several punches a 1.75" and 2" dia circle die. The gold punched layer was done using a 2.5" dia scalloped punch and double punching to create the pinking shears edge. See this post where I show double punching to create a new shape.
