Day #7: Blue Knight Rubber Stamps New Release Week & Giveaway

I can't believe that my week of sharing Blue Knight Rubber Stamps July new release stamps is coming to an end!
I have a new stamp set and card to share with you today...
Tomorrow, here at the blog......I'll share a re-cap of all 7 new release stamps and the cards that I created with them.,,,and I'll announce the giveaway winner!
(*Giveaway details shared below)

I love the THANK YOU WREATH stamp set that I'm sharing with you today...and that means that I loved creating this card...

Here's what my love-fest with the THANK YOU WREATH stamp set is all about:

1. It's a great size for a card front.
2. The stamped image has lots of detail
3. The lined image is delicate...no thick chunky stamped image lines (If you know me...you know that I have an "issue" with thick lines on a stamped image)
4.  It's floral (I LOVE floral and botanical images)
5. I like the sentiment's font style
6. It's great for CAS card making (My true style of card making)
7. This image is a cinch to color
8. And ...because it's a cinch to color...it makes a quick, non labor-intensive card

And...Here's how I created this card
1. I stamped the image on Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink
2. I added color to the bloom and leaves with Blue Knight's PanPastel Palettes.
3. I used a deep purple Copic Marker to add definition to the petals of the bloom
4. Next...I created the rich parchment toned background by blending colors from the Blue Knight Select PanPastel SUNRISE and SUNSET and the DAY and NIGHT color Palettes.
5. Then...I stamped the sentiment  (Yes, you can stamp on/over PanPastel coloring!)
6. I measured and cut a length of dotted pink satin ribbon from TheRibbonPlace and used a Copic Marker to create a deep purple colored ribbon that I positioned behind the matted image piece. (Yes, you can "color" ribbon with a Copic marker)
7. I chose LCI Metallic Card Stock for both mat layers...trimmed everything to size and secured the mat layers.
8. I assembled the card, using fun foam when positioning the matted image piece, for added dimension.

This card came together in a flash!
I already have plans for creating more of this card in an assortment of image colors and background colors.

You'll find the THANK YOU WREATH stamp set and the BLUE KNIGHT SELECT PanPastel Palettes HERE, at the Blue Knight web store, along with all of the July new release stamps.
