This Sending Smiles Across the Miles Card was fun to make with this brand-new stamp set! It’s mostly all stamping with one die-cut for the greeting! I didn’t really do such a great job of stamping, but most people wouldn’t notice and I still like the card! It could be interpreted as the “watercolor look”!
The card base is one of the new In Colors, Orchid Oasis with a layer of Basic White for the stamping. Sometimes it’s fun to “just stamp” like in the “olden days”! I used the new Sending Smiles Stamp Set. It’s great because it comes with several different stems for the flowers and several different flowers and sizes. All you have to do is stamp! I used Orchid Oasis ink for the large flowers and the same ink stamped off once for the small light purple flowers at the bottom. The pink flowers are Polished Pink. The flower stems are Parakeet Party ink. The flower centers are stamped in Daffodil Delight.
If I wanted to, I could have stamped and die cut the flowers. The dies that go with the Sending Smiles Stamp Set are the Sending Dies. You can purchase both the stamp set and dies in the Sending Smiles Bundle and save 10%!.
For the greeting, you can stamp the word “Sending” directly on the card. You can stamp the word on white cardstock in colored ink and die-cut, as I did. Or you can just die cut the word itself out of colored cardstock. I stamped my “Sending” in Polished Pink ink and then stamped the second part of the greeting in ink right below. It was the perfect fit! Lots of choices of greetings in the stamp set so I think this will be a useful set to own!
