All Eyes On...Ever After

Welcome to All Eyes On!

This month I asked the ladies to share with us a creation using either their favorite Wplus9 stamp set, or the one they just can't get enough of at the moment.

For me, it was a toss up between Kisses & Cuddles and Ever After. I love, love, love both of these sets. But I had a layout in mind, and Ever After fit the bill. Maybe it's because I get to practice with my Copic coloring or maybe it's the gorgeous font used for the sentiments, but something about this set makes me reach for it again and again.

I started by stamping the stemmed flower image on white and coloring the Gardenias a fun and vibrant mix of corals, yellows, and peaches. I cut the bottom square and trimmed around the edges of the image. I attached this to a white panel by using tape adhesive at the bottom, and dimensionals at the top. This makes the flower really "pop" off of the page.

I stamped a second image, colored and trimmed out just the center of the large flower and popped it with dimensionals over the bud on the left side. I just wanted a little half bloom. To finish this simple card, I stamped my sentiment, attached a coral border punched strip to the left edge and adhered the whole panel with dimensionals to my card front.

I love the visual line that is created from top left to bottom right, and how all of the white space helps make the flowers seem even more vibrant and crisp in spite of the rather soft tones of the petals.

Wanna see what the Design Team has been up to?
