Balmy Blue Country Bouquet

Card made in Balmy Blue with Country Bouquet

Country Bouquet, Just Wanted to Say

Not every heart card should be red or pink. Or even purple. I love to use blue where it is not expected. For this Country Bouquet card, I turned to Balmy Blue. And it pairs so beautifully with white, wouldn’t you agree?

I used the Country Bouquet Bundle for my first Card Class From ME in 2023. This bundle (or the individual stamp set and coordinating punch) will be available in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. And it debuts at the same time as Sale-A-Bration, on January 5.

DistINKtive Two Step Stamping

Country Bouquet stamping

Did you notice all the details on the stamped heart? First, it is done by two-step stamping. This means that 2 different stamps work together to create a full image. In this case, I stamped the leaves in Soft Succulent. Next, I stamped the flowers in Balmy Blue, just fitting them between the previously stamped leaves. The end result is a heart shape!

What makes this DistINKtive? This term is registered and trade-marked by Stampin’ Up! and has to do with the subtle highs and lows cut into the stamp. When you use a distINKtive stamp, some of the image will be lighter or more opaque in nature. It is really an amazing feature!
