Easter Blossoms Silhouette



I love spring! I can't wait to see all this snow GONE. It was fun designing this card for my Stamp Club.The soft pinks and greens go well together.
   I used the Easter Blossoms stamp set (121905-wood, 122057-clear) from the Occasions Mini Catalogue.
To make this card you will also need to make a spectrum pad by squirting drops of ink refill in rows on a baby wipe. The colours I used are: Baja Breeze (111844),then Marina Mist(119787), Pink Pirouette (111843) and finally Old Olive (100531).
I rolled these colours on to a piece of Glossy White Cardstock(102599) with my Brayer (102395). When the ink was dry, I stamped the image of the tree branch and the girl with Black Stazon Ink (101406). I carefully distressed the bottom of my Glossy paper with Black Stazon Ink. I matted this piece with Basic Black cardstock (121045), then Pink Pirouette cardstock (111351). I ran a piece of Pear Pizzaz cardstock (119795) through my Big Shot Die Cutting Machine (113439) and dry embossed it with the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder (119277).  I like a lot of texture to backgroung paper. I wrapped this piece with Pretty in Pink 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon (119956) and used a second piece of ribbon to make the bow. I mounted all of this on to my card front. I chose Pink Pirouette (111351) for this card.
