Cards for Kindness Challenge - Roses for Kindness by Bri Firth

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing my creation for my first Art Impressions Challenge as part of their wonderful design team. Art Impressions is partnering with Scrapbook.com for their event, Cards for Kindness. For more information on this event check out the details here. 

For this event they request you mail in a minimum of 10 cards so I wanted to make a card design I could duplicate easily. For my challenge project I used the Exclusive Rose stamp set available on the Scrapbook.com website. I love "thinking of you" cards because they are great for variety of occasions.

First, I used the Oval Double Stitched Dies to die cut oval shapes out of Canson watercolor paper. I then used my Misti stamping platform and Tombow Dual Brush Markers to color and stamp the rose image onto all of the ovals. I used a waterbrush to spread the color throughout the rose stem images.

For the card background I used a piece of 4" x 5.25" floral cardstock. By trimming the floral cardstock to those dimensions I was able to create a card background for 12 cards out of two pieces of 12" x 12" cardstock! I finished the card background by double matting the floral cardstock with different shades of green solid cardstock.

Next, I heat embossed the "thinking of you" sentiment with white embossing powder. Then I added the rectangular sentiment strip to the card. Finally, I finished the card by attaching the watercolored oval image to the card front.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today. Check back next week for more of my creation inspiration!
