Good morning!
Today’s card features a slightly different take on an aperture:
Paper: Crate Paper – Snow & Cocoa (r)
Stamps: Lil’ Inker Designs – Merry Ornaments
Dies: Waffle Flower – Nesting Hexagons
I was wanting to use my Hexagon nesting dies from Waffle Flower to make an opening on a square card, and also a way to add a glittery inside border.
And hey presto I found a great stamp in my stash that would look great framed in a larger aperture like this one.
The retro style Merry Ornaments stamp set from Lil’ Inker Designs features a great word art style bauble with some multi-step stamping accents, plus lots of little elements to build the background – like the little dot and star stamps I used here in grey and aqua tones.
I used three colours of pink for the bauble: Peony for the main stamp, Raspberry for the darker accents, and Bubblegum pink for the top of the bauble.
I thought these colours would pop against the teal blue snowflake paper from Crate Paper’s Snow & Cocoa collection.
The finished project definitely has that retro vibe to it. 🙂
Happy crafting, until next time!
