Repeating Tasteful Touches

When I first saw a picture of this card I knew I wanted to create one myself.  It is from a tutorial from Andrea Walford.  I’ve followed her and loved her work for many, many years and iterations of her websites.

I changed very little, except how some of the background layers on the front of the card were made, as I thought the method on the tutorial was overly complex.

I stamped and hand-cut the 5 flowers from Tasteful Touches. After positioning  them along the edge of the Whisper White layer I used Press N Seal plastic wrap to pick them up and keep them aligned.  Then I used a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to align the branch stamp where I wanted it on the Whisper White.

I guess one other change I made from Andrea’s tutorial is that she used a craft knife to cut up her sentiment…I found that the Classic Label Punch works perfectly, especially if you cut the piece of Basic Black to the width you want your final strips to be and centre your stamping.  Then it’s just 4 easy punches to get your words!

​Here’s what I used to make this card:
