Now that I've made all of the formal introductions, let's get onto the projects!
For my first project I couldn't wait to pair up the new Stitched Alphabet with Dawn's gorgeous flowers. I stamped the background on Vintage Cream cardstock using various images from Ruby Rose using one of my favorite color combos... Spring Moss, Aqua Mist, Melon Berry, Summer Sunrise & Harvest Gold.
I die-cut the In Stitches die from Vintage Cream cardstock as well. The embroidery hoop portion was stamped with the coordinating images from Stitched Sentiments using Classic Kraft & Charcoal Palette. For the inner circle I added the word baby using Stitched Alphabet utilizing the same colors that were used in the background. I love how the separate letters in the new alphabet set allow me to incorporate multiple colors like this.
After stamping the background, I impressed it with the Aida Impression Plate. This helps tie in the theme with the embroidery hoop and stitched letters.
Everything was mounted onto a Aqua Mist card base.
For my next project I wanted to do lots of layering with the Ruby Rose dies & images.
I die-cut the Fabulous Frames from Classic Kraft cardstock and stamped it with the coordinating image in Fresh Snow. I die-cut several flowers from white cardstock and stamped them with the coordinating images using Scarlet Jewel, Autumn Rose & Sweet Blush inks.
I added the banner accent from Fabulous frames underneath the frame in Autumn Rose. The sentiment was added in Dark Chocolate.
It was finished off with a Sweet Blush card base.
You know a stamp set is designed flawlessly down to the last detail when you can create a black & white background that stands out from the crowd.
I stamped several of the elements from Ruby Rose onto white cardstock using True Black ink.
Red embroidery floss was used to form a border. Five strands were strung across, with the ends tucked around to the back on either side of the card front.
And I can't fail to mention the gorgeous sentiments included in Ruby Rose. They add a wonderful finishing detail to your projects!
