Card Class, Project 2

Crafting Ida designed the lovely little card for our group to make. I love how fresh it looks. I'm tired of winter, and this makes me think 'happy'.

Recipe:

• SU flower stamp from Bloomin Beautiful (Occasions Catalog available March 1) and Polka Dot background stamp
  
• SU Bold Bright Orchard Opulance and Soft Subtle Certainly Celery card stock
• Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi dye ink. Whisper White Craft ink and Black StazOn
• Ribbon
  
• Corner rounder.... for corners. Tah-Dah
• Aqua painter
  

Ida taught us about using an aqua painter to do the flowers. We are newbies and love learning new things. I messed mine up the first and second time. The third time was the charm. I know I'm going to need a bit more practice to really feel the 'flow' as Ida put it.

Ida also initiated us into using the large background stamps. Wow! Those SU background stamps are BIG. Laying it on the table rubber side up and pressing the card onto it seems to work. I'm going to have to work on that technique as well so I won't move it around accidentally. I just love that Ida knows all the little tricks and demonstrates so well. She was a first grade teacher for years, so we are right up her alley.

I do love the look of this card! I hope you do too!
