So Long Soft Seedlings

December 3, 2022 Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you but I have a hard time visualising things in the ‘wrong’ colours. Like pink chickens or purple sunflowers. I’ve even found that I get hung up with Designer Series Paper (DSP) and just can’t see the coordinating stamp images in any other colour palette. So I surprised myself during my personal 24 cards in 24 hours challenge and really stepped outside my comfort zone. Using the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set I created this “thinking of you” card with an unusual Night of Navy maple leaf.

Create this simple "thinking of you" card with blue maple leaf image using the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

SIMPLE SOFT SEEDLINGS

I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut and score some Night of Navy Card for my card base. I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder. Then using Multipurpose Liquid Glue I added a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Orchid Oasis Card to the front.

Next I cut two 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces of Basic White Card and a picked up a Basic White Medium Envelope. Using Night of Navy ink I stamped the combined maple leaf and seeds image in the bottom right corner on each piece. Then using liquid glue I fixed one of the stamped card layers inside the card base.

For the front of the card I made the other white layer smaller by tearing around the edges. Going back to the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set I chose the “thinking of you” sentiment and stamped it onto the torn layer. Then I mounted the stamped piece onto the front of the card base and my simple card was complete.

Well, I may never have seen a blue maple leaf before but I have to say I love how it turned out. What do you think?
