Calypso Coral Collage

I could use this Tea for Two paper all day long!  The colors are so soft and Springtime!  We have Bottle caps and a stamp set to match, more sample coming soon.  I wanted to get ONE made and out here as soon as possible.  Enlarge the card and you can see all the details.   Notice the difference in the first bottle cap and the one below?  The Mini catalog showed version 2, but how do you get that?  With the BIG SHOT!!  Place the bottle caps "edges down" on a cutting plate.  Your platform should be on the lowest platform.  Add cutting plate and roll thru.  It will feel like NOTHING is happening, BUT your bottle cap will now be flattened perfectly and much more mailing friendly!! =)

The new Needlepoint Border embossing folder adds some interest where the paper meets the Very Vanilla card stock.  The Tea for Two paper was embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  When you are unsure what to use, reach for the Polka dots, just enough texture without compromising your pattern.

The flower image in the new stamp set Collage Curios mirrored the flower in the designer paper.  I inked it up with the Calypso Coral marker and stamped on Very Vanilla card stock.  I inked the word image in Crumb Cake and stamped over the Flower. Then inked the ring image in Early Expresso and stamped again.  Punched with the 1 inch circle and it fits in the Bottle cap, a glue dot holds it in place.  The larger flower was stamped and cut the the Secret Garden stamp set and framelit bundle.  Stamped with Versamark and clear embossing powder on Calypso Coral card stock.  A Pearl in the middle and a bow of Calypso Coral Bakers twine finish the card.
