Today we're delighted to have Creative Team member Jayne Nelson here to share some fabulous "beyond the kit" ideas for a few of the add-ons.
My first card features the absolutely gorgeous Heart Flourish Cover Plate. After cutting a card-sized panel of Passion Flower cardstock, I used a blending brush to apply Purple Galaxy, Grape Slush, and Berry Smoothie Reactive inks to the cardstock, blending the darkest ink along the edges and the lighter ink at the panel’s center. Then, I used the Heart Flourish Cover Plate to die-cut the intricate heart design from the inked panel. I secured the panel to a Dove White card base with Precision Glue.
Next, I added several sentiments to the card. First, I selected a Love sentiment from the Hugs and Kisses Rub-On Transfer Sheet. I simply positioned the sentiment over the heart and then rubbed over it with a craft stick to transfer it to the card. I also added a pair of sentiments from the new Loving Sentiment Strips set that I stamped with Intens-ified Black ink and die-cut with the Sentiment Strips Fancy Die. To finish the card, I added a single Purple Enamel Dot.
My second card features the beautiful Stripe Stencil. To create the inked-blended, striped background panel, I applied Blue Hawaii, Grape Slush, Berry Smoothie, and Taffy ink over the Stripe Stencil onto a piece of white cardstock and then secured the panel to a Passion Flower card with foam tape.
Next, I stamped and die-cut a sentiment from the You’re Mine Bundle with Berry Smoothie ink, secured it to a pair of white and vellum circles that I cut with the Nesting Circle Infinity Dies, and then secured the sentiment panel to the card with foam tape. I also used the Love and Floral Fancy Dies to cut a collection of small flowers that I inked with the same background ink colors, plus some Key Lime Fizz ink for the leaves. After gluing the flowers to the card around the sentiment, I added a few Purple Enamel Dots.
