CP ~ For the Love of Filigree

 

Happy Thursday all!  Yesterday during Catherine and Erika's live on YouTube I was inspired to pull out my Gelli Plate. 

I had already decided I wanted to use the beautiful color palette of Glam, Cranberry Fizz, Flame and Glitz inks.  So I used my Gelli Plate and created a bold ombre effect of inky color straight down my cardstock.

Then I took the new "Filigree Background" stamp and stamped the same ink colors around just the edges of the stamp and added it to my background.  To get a more subtle pattern in the center to allow from my greeting, I used just a little bit of Versamark ink to get a subtle pattern.

I stamped my greeting from the new "Notable & Quotable Sentiments" stamp set in Glam ink and then framed it up with our new "Nested Hexagon Dies" and a few cut leaves from the same stamp set.  I used the solid leaf stamp from the previously released "Fresh Picked Floral" stamp set to "ink in" the leaves.

I die cut a rectangle from the background using my favorite "must-have" dies, the "Scallops & Dots Dies" and backed with a simple, thin frame.

And voila... a card was born!  I just can't get enough of that "Filigree Background" stamp!

Have a fabulous and crafty day!
