Inspiration Card for The Little Paper Tree - Beautiful Day Stamp Set

 

I'm back today with another card using the Beautiful Day stamp set from Catherine Pooler Designs:

You can find the both the stamp and coordinating die sets here on the online shop.

For today's card I stamped the main image at an angle along the long edge of a piece of white card measuring 13 cm by 9cm.  Then I stamped one of the flowers again beside the first image to create a line of flowers along the whole edge of the piece of card.

The stamp set also has a smaller foliage stamp which I used to add to the flowers and leaves - it was easy to extend the stem with a black marker.

I coloured the flowers using Promarkers and then stamped one of the sentiments underneath and added two black gems to finish the card.

Don't forget to head over to the store here for a great range of stamps, dies and accessories.
