Timeless Plaid DSP and Floral Designs...What a Combination!

Do you like the look of plaid?  I love it, especially paired with florals.  For my two cards today, I used the Timeless Plaid DSP and the Your Are Remarkable stamp set. Spotlight on Nature is the die set I chose to use for these cards.

For the first card, I cut two large circles from the die set in coordinating patterns of DSP.  I stamped the small texture stamp from the set on the left side of the card in Pecan Pie ink.

I added more texture with the splatter dot stamp in the set, then cut my two circles to better fit the card base. I also used Calypso Coral and the splatter stamp to add more splatter on the card base and DSP.  I stamped my sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink and tore the bottom edge of the card stock. Then I layered the sentiment on a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock and tore the bottom edge of it as well.  After layering the two pieces, I tied a piece of linen thread around it.

I colored my flower using Calypso Coral and Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blend markers. I used the dark Petal Pink Blend to color the center of the flower.

To finish off the card, I add the little bee stamp, also from the set, and a few brass butterfly embellishments. 

For my second card, I cut a stitched rectangle from Basic White card stock, then stenciled using a mask and ink blending brush in Calypso Coral ink.  I was careful to apply less pressure as I moved from the center of the piece to give it a fading look.  I stamped my floral image and small bee in Memento Black ink and colored it using Lemon Lolly, Calypso Coral and Old Olive Stampin' Blend markers. 

My sentiment  and splatter are stamped in Pecan Pie ink.  I tore another piece Timeless Plaid DSP and placed it in the top left and bottom right corners of the card. I used a heart die to cut 3 pieces of Calypso Coral and layered them to create a 3D embellishment that I placed on the bottom right of the card.

I cut an A2 Pecan Pie card base, then layered a piece of Calypso Coral card stock cut at 4" x 5.25"  and my stamped design.

Have you tried the Timeless Plaid DSP?  It is so versatile and pretty!
