Etsy Inspired Card Set

Hello and happy Friday to all of you who are looking forward to this weekend off :) Today is the beginning of my work week but it's okay because I'm only working 3 days and then I'm taking a little time off (yay!!)

Today I'm playing along with Wee Memories challenge. This week it's Pinterest/Etsy inspired projects.

I started off by browsing around on Pinterest and Etsy, I could just browse for hours :) I found this gorgeous pillow which reminded me of a stamp I had :)

and here is the whole group

and a close up (For those of you who want to see the colors individually I'll post them at the bottom.)

I started with the Flower Bird Garden stamp (Hero Arts) and stamped it in 5 different colors on white card stock. I used all Hero Hues ink: Cerulean, Grass, Punch, Iris, and Poppy. I cut them out, distressed them, and added some walnut stain to the edges.

For the card base I used plain white card stock that I inked up with antique linen. I then stamped the Envelope Pattern (Hero Arts) over top, with antique linen. I also inked the edges of the card base with walnut stain.

I adhered the stamped panel with foam adhesive and stamped my sentiment in walnut stain. Each card has a different sentiment. I used Sending Smiles Message by Hero Arts for the set. I love how each large sentiment has a matching inside sentiment. It makes card sets a breeze :)

To complete the card I added two buttons threaded with twine and a twine bow.

Here are the rest of the colors

Thanks for coming over to see :) I hope you have a gorgeous weekend!
