Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I’m sharing my Pink & Black Gorgeous Garden Card with you because I had so many comments on this card. The pale pink of the Bubble Bath cardstock and the stark Basic Black imagery from the die really creates a stunning impact.

The dimensions are pretty tight on this one because I cut the black pretty close to the size of the die. Basic Black card base is as usual: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored and folded at 4-1/4″. My Bubble Bath is cut to: 5-7/8″ x 4-1/8″ and the black for the die cut is 5-7/8″ x 4.

I used the Tombo Liquid glue to secure my die cut floral onto the Bubble Bath mat … making sure I got all the edges and parts of the design that may pop up (like the buds). The greeting comes from Layering Leaves (my GO TO stamp set for sentiments) and was die cut with the circle die from the Stylish Shapes (another must have in your stash!). It’s stamped with Memento Ink.

I dyed my ribbon using the Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blend …. use your brush tip and using the side of the brush, gently slide it down the ribbon. You don’t need much pressure because the Alcohol Ink will absorb easily into your ribbon. Let dry (it dries rather quickly). I secured the ribbon from the pink mat on the card front and tied a bow and trimmed off the ends. I used dimensionals to pop up the greeting and then I tucked it behind my ribbon.

To complete my card I used the Iridescent Rhinestones to add a little sparkle, and these rhinestones pick up the colors that your using on your card, so it enhances the pinks on today’s card!

Image the possibilities that you can create with this die alone, and there a two dies in the Gorgeous Garden Dies … the leaves I shared with you yesterday.

Have a wonderful Thursday and Thank You for spending a part of your day with me?
