Work of Art Meets Gorgeous Grunge and Flower Shop and Petite Petals

I have not made a legal envelope size card in a long time.  I found this fun card on Dorte's website.  I loved the colors and of course I loved that it was a long card.  Those are fun to make now and then, and who doesn't have legal size envelopes at home???

This card was made by cutting a piece of Crumb Cake card stock 8-1/4" x 9".  The Cherry Cobbler piece was cut 4" x 9", and the Whisper White piece was cut 3-3/4" x 8-3/4".  

The part I found the most difficult was getting that stamped image to stamp 6 times before it disappeared all together.  I didn't have any luck with that so I had to cheat.  I stamped the top part with Crumb Cake ink, I moved the stamp down a little and stamped again and again.  By that time the ink on the stamp was spent.  I ended up re-inking and stamping off on some scrap paper and then going back over the third stamped image (lightly) then moving down and continuing to stamp down the row.  I had to re-ink my stamp again and stamp off a couple of times to get it all to blend in.  That was a lot of work!!!  But I do like how it turned out.  I may have had trouble due to the ink pad. I'm still using the older ink pad.  I don't know for sure if that is the solution to the problem, I won't know that until I can try it with the foam pads.  Anyway, I got it to work and I'm happy with the results.

Next I stamped the flower from the "Flower Shop" set using Cherry Cobbler ink. I punched it out and set it aside.  Then I stamped the little flowers using the "Petite Petals" set.  I punched them out.  

The words are from the "Wetlands" set.  I did stamp the "Gorgeous Grunge" dots before I added the words.  I wanted to make sure I had the right spot to place the wording.  

I took some linen thread and and wound it around my fingers to get it to form some loops.  I set that in place using a Glue Dot.  

I used Dimensionals under the large flower.  I added pearls to all of the flowers.

What a fun card this was.  I also saw a regular size one that I may give a try. It didn't require me to try to get 6 images from one inking!!!

Thank you SO much for visiting today,
