Pink and Kraft Flower Horace

Well, I finally managed to struggle my way into my craft room - avoiding the obstacle course on the floor (just about) and managed to get a few cards made. Top of my immediate-need list was a card for a young girl, so I decided to use the lovely cute Horace stamp that I got free from the April 2010 Craft Stamper magazine.


The Horace image, from Pink Gem/Craft Stamper, was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with Copic sketch markers:
  • Dog: E31, E33, E35
The image was then die cut using a classic circle Nestabilities die and the edge coloured using RV19 Copic sketch marker and matted onto a big scalloped circle die cut from the pink stripe paper from the Daisy and Dandelion Picnic Patch paper pad. The edges were coloured using ColorBox Orchid Pastel Fluid Chalk ink and then matted onto a dark pink panel die cut using a Labels 3 Nestabilities die.


A strip of the pink daisy paper, from the same paper pad, was punched using the XCut Scallop border punch and the edges coloured using the Orchid Pastel ink and matted onto a punched panel of the dark pink card.

A white Prima paper flower was coloured using a Copic marker (E31) and added to the Labels shape. Pink flower gems from Papermania were added to the image and the centre of the paper flower.

The sentiment, from the Papermania Clare Curd Sentiments stamp set, was stamped at the bottom of the card blank using Adirondack Raspberry dye ink.

Here are the challenges that I am entering this card into:
