Now to my card:) I'm using the new word die set called Love and Cherish! I love the beautiful curl of this font and I thought it would pair nicely with the Blossoming Buds stamp set. The stamped flowers are pretty intricate, so I used a vellum overlay to prevent the card from getting too busy.
On top of the vellum, I added the die cut sentiment and some enamel dots. The enamel dots serve 2 purposes, decorative (of course) and functional (they hide adhesive that keeps the vellum laying down). I colored the die cut word with some blended ink in 2 colors (pink and red). I also put a plain white version of the word behind (slightly offset). Both the blended ink and the white "shadow" really give the sentiment some depth and help the sentiment stand out.
Now it's time for you to hop on over to the next stop on the hop, my talented buddy Jocelyn Olson! Keep on hopping!
