I'm popping in to show you a card I made using the Cozy Cottage Hostess stamp set from the Occasions catalog. I recently was talking to a customer and she said she wasn't sure if she would like this set as it would involve a lot of coloring.
My card has some coloring but with all the detail in the image, embossing it and then choosing to highlight certain areas made this card quick and easy to do. So here's my card for you, Linda. :)
The cottage image was stamped with Veramark and then embossed with gold embossing powder on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Believe it or not, leaving it just embossed was beautiful and I almost left it as is. But as my customers know, I have to add something! So I chose my ribbon and then I colored the trees, bushes and select clumps of grass with a light watercolor wash using my Aqua Painter. Next, I added Daffodil Delight and Soft Suede to the cottage and rocks. Again, I kept the coloring very light to give it a soft feel. The embossed images made it super easy to keep inside the lines.
I needed a thinking of you/get well card for a special person who is battling some major health issues so I decided this cozy cottage would be perfect to send to her.
Lemon Lime Twist 3/8" Mini Striped Ribbon would be a great addition to add to your stash if you have the ink pad and cardstock. I'm just say'in.
