Everything Eleanor

Can you believe, I have had this gorgeous stamp set for three months, and this is the first card created with it? What makes it even worse, is it was number one on my wish list and could not wait to get it!

Can anyone relate?

The card above is Very Vanilla, stamped with En Francais background stamp in Crumb Cake, which is attached to a piece of DCWV cardstock from my stash. Scroll from Everything Eleanor is stamped in Soft Suede, also the sentiment from Vintage Verses.

The flowers from Everything Eleanor are stamped using the Rock and Roll method...first stamped in Crumb Cake then the edges of the stamp gently rolled in the Soft Suede ink. It makes such a difference, and a very easy technique. 

One just needs to remember, stamp in the lighter ink then roll in the darker ink! The other way around, just messes up your ink pad.

Flowers are popped up on foam dots and pearls added to the centre of each flower.

My preference is to add something decorative to the inside of cards, and have used a 'card front sized' panel of Very Vanilla, embossed in the Lacy Brocade folder, with a Very Vanilla die cut over it, using the Top Note die. A small flower from the Everything Eleanor set is adhered to the top right-hand corner.
