I'm making excellent progress with my swaps - I've now made 113!
I probably won't have a chance to make any more today, but I'm confident I'll make enough by next Tuesday - so I'll have 120 for Amsterdam plus one for each of my March customers!
However, I've called it a protoype because there are two or three things I want to add or change.
I've also decided I'm going to make a video to show how I made it.
Then I was going to adhere a strip of Sweet Sugarplum CS down the left hand side on the front of the card and another strip on the right hand side of the inside of the card.
This would give a background that would help to accentuate the flowers.
I stamped four flowers from the Garden in Bloom Stamp Set, two in Sweet Sugarplum Ink and two in Rich Razzleberry Ink.
I used Olive Green Ink to stamp some leaves on the left hand side of the flowers.
Like the flowers, this is a two step stamp, so I stamped the solid stamp off once before going onto my cardstock.
Then I stamped four more flowers in the same way on scraps of Whisper White CS, and cut them out by hand.
I painted the centres of these four flowers with the Gold Wink of Stella Glitter Pen.
However, I didn't like the reverse side of the flowers, so I adhered a complete sheet of Sweet Sugarplum CS on the back of the Whisper White card front, and then the strip on the left hand side.
I die cut it using the third largest Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. I adhered this to the card front using Dimensionals.
The final touch was to adhere a layer of Sweet Sugarplum CS inside the card, and then a layer of Whisper White CS on top.
I stamped a Rich Razzleberry flower in the bottom left hand side. I also stamped the leaves.
Unfortnately, I forgot to stamp off once so I used my Olive Green Marker Pen, the thin end, and I drew some veins on the leaves!
I'm really pleased with the outcome of this card but I can see areas for "enhancements!" LOL!
I'll have another play with this card over the weekend to include the enhancements and then I'll make a video!
That's about it for today! Until tomorrow, happy crafting.
