Faux Envelope card

Hi everyone,
I honestly cannot believe the week has flown by so quickly but I am very glad the weekend is here!

Here is a Faux Envelope card (or should I say Faux upside down envelope card), I made using the other half of yesterday's Carousel note card.

Again, I used paper from my favorite DSDP, Bali Breeze and matched it with Close to Cocoa and Soft Sky cardstock.

I stamp the round dotted stamp from the Boho Backgrounds stamp set with Versamark on the Carousel note card and then used my white gel pen to flourish the outer edges of both the Carousel Note card and the Pink paper.

Using the Medallion stamp of the Boho Backgrounds, I applied directly to rubber Rose Red, Bordering Blue and So Saffron Markers and then "huffed" the stamp to moisten the marker ink before stamping it onto Very Vanilla. I used the 1 1/4' punch to pop out the center layered it on the pink Bali Breeze paper using the 1 3/8" punch. I applied the medallion using a dimensional.

Using the So Many Saying stamp set, I masked the stamp to leave the "You make me happy" line and stamped it in Chocolate Chip classic ink, using my Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement.

I was going to add ribbon to the card but I didn't like the look of it, so tada...this is it. Simple yet cute :)

Essence of love

I cut the Close to Cocoa base card down to 4 x 4.25. The Bali Breeze designer paper was cut to 3.75 x 4, and then faux stitchi with the stitching kit and a Close to Cocoa marker.

I then cut the Carousel note card in half and trimmed it to fit the base of the card. The other half was used to make a Faux envelope card which I will show you tomorrow :)

With Versamark, I stamped the Essence of Love floral stamp and embossed it with SU! Crystal Clear Embossing Powder. The Serendipity Phrase from the Sweet Serendipity Stamp set was stamped in Chocolate Chip over the Floral Boho Background stamp in Sahara Sand.

The butterfly from the Essence of Love stamp set was stamped in Bordering Blue using the stamp off technique. I layered it with the orange Bali Breeze designer paper and Soft Sky cardstock. Put it all together and you get this cute little card. :)
