Fifth Avenue Card #3

This is the third card in the my Fifth Avenue Floral series featuring the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper, Kraft Taffeta Ribbon and 1/2 pearl accents from the Pretties Kit. Check out the two prior posts to see cards #1 & #2.

For the focal image of this birthday card, first stamp the rose from Fifth Avenue Floral using Night of Navy and position it in the left corner of the Very Vanilla cardstock square. Stamp the daisy image in Sahara Sand ink slightly overlapping the Night of Navy rose to add texture and interest to the focal image.

Remember, Fifth Avenue Floral is 20% off now through April along with four other flowering stamp sets. Check out the Two-Step Spring Into Spring promotion on my website http://www.ediestamps.stampinup.net/.

Fifth Avenue Card #2

I'm a bit disappointed at the color of this photo. The Always Artichoke cardstock layers don't pop as they do in real life. I'm afraid the pic looks a bit drab and doesn't relate the elegance of the card. Unfortunately, I don't have the patience to fuss with either the camera or the imaging software. I'd rather be stamping or enjoying the beautiful weather here in Erie, PA.

In any event, card #2 in my Fifth Avenue trio is a simple sympathy card done in Always Artichoke and Sahara Sand Classic Inks and featuring the Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper. The focal image is tied off in Kraft Taffeta Ribbon which is finished with an ivory half-pearl from the Pretties Kit. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Please look for the card #3 tomorrow.

Hello Again & Fifth Avenue Card #1

Hi Stampers! I thought I would start off with a quick pic of myself & Ruby since you have not heard from me in three long months! There are many, many people I would like to thank for prayers, encouragement, cards & flowers; especially everyone at work, my stampin' friends, the Utah Divas, friends, family & neighbors. I do not have room here to post everyone's names, but please know you will be getting a card in the mail. I just started stamping this week. Did you know stamping is great physical therapy? ;-}

Enough about me. Let's get back to stamping. This is the first card in a set of three which I designed featuring Stampin' Up's!

As I mentioned above, my card share today is Card #1 in a set of three cards I designed featuring the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set and Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper.

The card base is Kraft cardstock and the accent matting is Bravo Burgundy. The larger rose image is stamped in Sahara Sand Classic Ink for a subtle background effect. Since we don't have Kraft ink, Sahara Sand goes nicely with Kraft cardstock. The smaller flower image is stamped in Bravo Burgundy and serves as the focal image for this card. It is blinged up with an ivory half-pearl from the Pretties Kit. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes (my current #1 must have set) and stamped in Bravo Burgundy. It is popped up with a Stampin' Dimensional to add texture and interest. Kraft Taffeta Ribbon finishes this card.

Stop by tomorrow for Card #2 in my Fifth Avenue Floral trio.
