Beautifully Happy – February Thank You for Your Order Card

I appreciate your orders.  Without orders I cannot keep doing with I do.  Thank you!  Here is my February Thank You Card. 

I colored with the Blends.  The flower is also heat embossed with gold.  Hmmmm, Blends and Heat Embossing do not go together.  Sooooo…  using Stamparatus I stamped the flower on white paper with Memento ink.  Next I colored the flower.  Next I colored outside the image with smoky light (a white border around the flower would look bad).  Next, using Stamparatus I stamped the flower again using VersaMark, dipped into gold ep, heated. Next I cut out the flower.  Whew!  

Did you know that stampin with VersaMark ink (clear watermark ink) on most cardstock will create a darker image?  The video tutorial goes thru all these steps. 

OHHHH… making colored bling.  Using your blends, color a rhinestone to create colored rhinestones.  Using darker colored blends seem to work best.

I hope you feel the love when receiving this card. 

Happy Stampin,
