Heartfelt Creations Wednesday - Clean and Layered Cards

Welcome to another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday! The new Peacock Paisley Collection was released last week, and what a beautiful set of images! This collection contains oodles of stunning stamps! I decided to create  a few Clean and Layered cards to show of two of the stamps!

I have to admit, Clean and Simple and her cousin, Clean and Layered, are not styles with which I am comfortable! However, as my dad used to say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again! Or, as "they" say, sometimes, you can catch lightening in a bottle! All that jibber jabber to say that I think these two cards turned out GREAT! I think green and teal are my favorite "spring" colors! But, I needed a bit of grunge, too! {smile}

Create two 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card bases by trimming two pieces of blue calypso cardstock to 11" x 4 1/4" and scoring at 5 1/2" on the long side. Stamp the daisies image from the Delightful Daisies Cling Stamp Set onto white cardstock with black ink. Color the two smallest daisies with alcohol markers. Trim out the flowers with the Delightful Daisy Die. Shape the flowers and set aside. (Save the remaining flowers for another project. Come back next week to see how I used the "leftovers"!)

For card one, trim white cardstock to 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and attach it to one blue calypso card base. Trim All Geared Up striped paper to 5 1/4" x 4" and attach to card front. 

Stamp the flower image from the Peacock Swirls Cling Stamp Set onto white cardstock with black ink. Color the image with alcohol markers.

Stamp the "beautiful day" sentiment from the Beautiful You Cling Stamp Set at the bottom of the stamped image using black ink. Use the Spellbinders Classic Rectangle die to trim the image. Attach the image to the center of the card front with foam adhesive. Use the rectangles dies to trim a rectangle frame from pale green Peacock Paisley paper. Attach the frame to the top of the stamped image with foam adhesive. 

Glue three aqua pearls to the bottom right edge of the frame. Tie two loopy bows, one from black burlap string and one from iridescent white metallic string and glue them to the lower left corner of the frame.  Stamp the "have a" sentiment from the Beautiful You Cling Stamp Set onto pale green Peacock Paisley paper. Trim out the sentiment with the rectangle die. Mat the sentiment with blue calypso cardstock. Attach the sentiment to the top of the loopy bows. Tuck one die cut daisy under the upper left corner of the sentiment block. Cut a piece of white cardstock to 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and attach to the inside of the card.

For card two, trim white cardstock to 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and attach it to one blue calypso card base. Trim All Geared Up striped paper to 5 1/4" x 4" and attach to the card front. Use the rectangles dies to trim two rectangle frames from pale green Peacock Paisley paper. Glue one frame to the center of the card, at an angle. Trim the second frame in half, and arrange the pieces at the upper left and lower right of the card front as shown. 

Stamp flower with buds image from the Feathered Daisy Cling Stamp Set onto white cardstock with black ink. Color the image with alcohol markers. Stamp the "thanks" portion of the Antique Lantern Cling Stamp Set on the bottom left of the stamped image using black ink. 

Use the Spellbinders Classic Rectangle die to trim the image. Mat the image with blue calypso cardstock. Attach the image to the center of the card front with foam adhesive, overlapping the green frames. Glue three aqua pearls to the bottom right edge of the image. Tie two loopy bows, one from black burlap string and one from iridescent white metallic string and glue them to the upper left corner of the image.  Attach the second die cut daisy to the top of the string bows. Cut a piece of white cardstock to 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and attach to the inside of the card.
