Hello and welcome! I am so excited to be hosting our challenge this week at Watercooler Wednesday where our theme is \”feminine\”. I created a monochromatic vintage look card using stamps from a collection of companies.
Hello and welcome! I am so excited to be hosting our challenge this week at Watercooler Wednesday where our theme is \”feminine\”. I created a monochromatic vintage look card using stamps from a collection of companies.
I finally purchased a Gemini Junior die cut machine and I am having so much fun! I am not sure why I waited so long! Previously, I fussy cut everything. Doodle Buds by WPlus9 is one of my all time favorite stamp sets so it was in my first “die” order.
I started by stamping, coloring and die cutting three blooms. I added some white accents with a gel pen. I then used a new stamp for the ground, the stripes from Pink & Main’s pattern maker set. I used Altenew’s Green Apple ink. This is my first time using this stamp but I really like how it simulated grassy ground. Next I stamped the stems and leaves for the three floral images and colored. Then I cut the card using the largest stitched rectangle die (from My Favorite Things A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax set 2) and added the die cut blooms.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:

I found some beautiful thick deep red A2 cards and thought they would be so pretty embossed.
I chose Pink and Main Christmas Mugs. I loved the mugs last year when I saw them on Instagram and I ordered them for myself this fall.
This is a rich elegant looking card that would be easy to mass produce. I put a liner inside to make writing more legible.
I am entering this card in:
