Thinking of You

Here's a great black and white card featuring a lady stamp from Plate #7 and a sentiment from Plate #4. That's perfect for the BOGO sale going on at the site right now. You can buy one set of stamps and get the other set free. See Sweet Pea's website for details.


To make this cute card you will need: black A2 size card, 6x6" pattern paper, Plate's 7 - lady stamp and Plate's 4 - "Thinking of you" stamp, Versafine Ink, Flower embellishment, Fiskar's border punch, black and white cardstock.

1. Stamp the lady image 3 times, once on white cardstock, once on the patterned paper, and once on black cardstock. The image on white cardstock will be your final image. Trim the pants from the stamped image on the patterned paper and glue them to the final image; then, trim out the shirt from the lady stamped on black cardstock and glue it to the final image.

2. Neatly trim the final image and mount it on black paper. I used Copic E00 to color in the skin of the woman.

3. Take the black and white patterned paper (sample uses DCWV); Cut a strip that is 3.5" wide and use a Fiskar's border punch to trim one side. If you don't have a Fiskar's punch, how about some cute decorative scissors? Once trimmed, adhere the patterned paper to the black card.

4. Adhere the final lady image to the card. Beneath the lady I added a black flower and matching brad (Prima and Making Memories).

5. Trim the edge of the card off at about 1" deep. Cut a strip of white cardstock 1.5" wide and stamp the "Thinking of You" sentiment from Plate #4. Adhere the sentiment to the card.

Happy Friday!
