This Forever Lovely All-Occasion Card is stamped with the Forever Lovely Stamp Set in the Occasions Catalog and inspired by the All My Love Designer Series Paper. This designer series paper is beautiful. While it has come out sort of during “Valentine season” and it does have hearts, but a lot of the paper can be used for any season and all occasions.
For this card I started with the Lovely Lipstick Cardstock, one of the 2018-2020 In Colors. It is one of the coordinating colors of the All My Love DSP. I added a layer of Whisper White and stamped three flowers from the Forever Lovely Stamp Set. There is one stamp that is a grouping of flowers, but I used the individual flower stamps and then added individual leaves. I also stamped the little stems of open leaves which I decided to look at as little blue flowers, sort of like the tiny blue flowers on the DSP and colored them with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers (new colors in the Occasions Catalog). And for fun, stamped the tiniest hearts in the stamp set in between the flowers!
I added a strip of the All My Love DSP to the bottom of the card. The greeting comes from the same stamp set and is die-cut with the Layering Circles Framelits Dies. The ribbon is in the same suite. It is part of the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack, including Flirty Flamingo 1/8″ Ribbon and this Lovely Lipstick 1/2″ Ribbon with a white-stitched edge.
Not being able to stop with a little more embellishing, I used the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush on the flowers plus added a tiny die-cut heart on the greeting and brushed on some Wink of Stella to give it a little glimmer.
As this card turned out, I would call it a “Happy card” and I hope someone who received it would feel that it brightened their day.
I might add that this stamp set has the term “Distinktive” attached to it. You might notice the “textured” look to the stamped image. This is the intended look of this type of stamp. It gives added depth and dimension to the stamped image in one step.
