Hello crafters! I’m so glad you joined me today, as I have an uplifting card to share. The stamp set,
Stronger Roses, from Joy Clair Designs is perfect for encouraging your friends by letting them know they braver, stronger, smarter, and love more than they could imaging. I think all of us need to hear that from time to time; don’t you? Let’s take a look at the project…
I made a 5×7 in card this time, because I really wanted the bold sentiment from Stronger Roses to really take front and center for the encouragement card. I sized and printed the images/sentiment on smooth card stock. I tried out Nuvo alcohol markers that a friend gave me. They worked pretty well to my surpise!
I decided to break out my distress oxides to make this fun background using colors that compliment the Stronger Roses image. In this case I chose Ripe Persimmon, Worn Lipstick, and Bundled Sage. Typically these colors would make mud, but drying each layer of ink in between applying the next one prevented the muddy mix! I matted the front panel to make it pop a little more, and added shimmer to the flowers. Such a fun card, that everyone would love to receive!
Okay I think that pretty much sums up this beautiful, but easy to create cards! I hope this inspires you to take a look at the Joy Clair Designs Shop today!
