Hello, friends! Deepti here and welcome to another spotlight feature. Today I decided to play with stamps and dies to create my card. Sometimes combining your supplies leads to pretty cards and you don't necessarily have to have a technique :)

So, here's a look at the finished card:

STEP 1

I started out by cutting a frame of corrugated paper using rectangular dies, if you don't have dies, you can always work with your trimmer. Then I marked the inside of the frame with a pencil on my card base.

STEP 2

Then I masked the white card stock panel with post it note and inked it lightly with Distress ink. I also added some water drops after inking.

STEP 3

Next I did second generation stamping of the flowers.

STEP 4

I colored the flowers and fussy cut them.

STEP 5

I stamped the sentiment on the card base, die cut some leaves in kraft, and assembled it all with some foam dots and glue. I was not very happy with the kraft die cut leaves so I switched it to white and also removed the blue bird and added a wood veneer butterfly.

Here's the finished close up :)

That finishes my spotlight feature :) I hope you enjoyed it and will give this a try. Happy paper crafting!
