You’re Stronger Than Most

There are times in our lives when people need encouragement.  What's more cheerful and encouraging than a beautiful handmade card, filled with love as you make it with that special person in mind?

Would you believe me that the only stamping on this card is the sentiment "You're stronger than most"? It is!  Today we are featuring the beautiful new Flowering Foils Specialty DSP that is FREE with a $50 purchase beginning today, March 3, 2020!!!

Here's how I did it:

1. Begin with a base of Rococo Rose - 8.5" x 5.5", scored on the long side at 4.25" and burnished with your bone folder along the fold.
2. Emboss a 5.25" x 4" piece of Whisper White using the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder and adhere it to your card base.
3. Fussy-cut a cluster of flowers from the Flowering Foils Specialty DSP
4. Cut a Stampin Sponge into 8 wedges - I like to label mine by color so I can re-use them in the future.  I take the Timeless Label punch and cut out a piece of cardstock in the color I am going to sponge.  I fold this in half and write the color on one side, near the fold.  Then I place the thin side of the wedge into the folded piece of cardstock and staple it.  Now I have a dedicated piece of sponge for anytime I want to sponge in that color!
   
5. Use 1 sponge wedge to color the flowers & buds with Rococo Rose and another to color the leaves with Mossy Meadow.  You don't have to be perfect - this is art!
6. I felt that I needed a different color pink fore some contrast, so I used a scrap of Blushing Bride to stamp the sentiment "You're stronger than most" from Beautiful Promenade in Rococo Rose
7. Cut this sentiment using the 2nd to smallest die from Stitched So Sweetly dies.
8. My card was for a Breast Cancer fighter, so I cut a length of Rococo Rose Scalloped Linen Ribbon to about 6".  I folded the ribbon over itself to make an "awareness ribbon" and used a Mini Glue dot to hold the ribbon in shape.  You can omit this if your card isn't for someone who is fighting Breast Cancer :)
9. Now that I had all the elements that I wanted, I adhered the fussy-cut Flowering Foils Specialty DSP to my embossed Whisper White panel using Stampin' Dimensionals.  I adhered my ribbon using another Mini Glue Dot and my sentiment using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
10. Lastly, I wanted a little more bling, so I added 3 Rhinestone Basic Jewels as a final touch.
