Guest design card with Cardmaker ll Collection from Spellbinders

Hi! Today i am back with a card created with the newest Spellbinders Cardmaker ll Collection.

For this card i used the pretty stamp set ‘Love Never Fails’

This clear stamp set is so versatile! Love it

I created a card panel with white cardstock. I made sure the panel was mall enough, that it would fit my card base, having a nice big border.

The thing is, i hardly think about the design when i am going to make a project. I have one basic design in my mind and mostly just start and see what happens. Most of the times i add a lot of details along the way.

For this card it ment i just grabbed the ink colors i wanted to use (used the inks from Pinkfresh Studio) and  got my stamp tool. I LOVE this color combo a lot. I started with stamping the flowers in the center. Then i just arranged the other stamps around. I did make sure the stamped images did not touched the edges, because i just didn’t like it that way. I wanted the design stayed a bit clean and simple this time.

I stamped the sentiment in the center. I did thought about stamping it on a strip of cardstock and pop it up on the card. But that took away the clean and one-layer look of this card.

I placed the card panel on the off-white card base with double sided foam tape. Now it was no longer an one layered card hahaha but this just looked better to me. 

I also added a few gold rhinestones, just to give it a little extra detail.

I mostly do an arrangement of three (or a least uneven). This just looks better on a lay out. 

But when there is a lot going on, like on this card, there are a lot of elements alone, an even number of embellishments is ok. I placed 4 rhinestones in the center of the flowers.

Another tip is, that if you have a card lay out like this card, make sure you place the center a tiny bit more up. This way the sentiment and center are a little bit above the middle of the card and that just looks better.

At the end i stamped some of the images on the envelope too, to create a matching set. I hardly do this, but it looks so pretty when it is a matching set. I need to remember this more ;)
