Day 2 Introductions-Amour Market Collection

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of The Greetery’s Amour Market Collection introductions!

Today I’m starting off with a fun 5″ x 7″ card featuring the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle & Scalloped Hearts Embossing Folder & Die Set. I die cut each layer with solid colored cardstock and then added the texture using the embossing folder. For the sentiment I used the French Kiss Sentiments Stamp & Die set.

Here is a breakdown of cardstock colors I used:
card base-buttercream, tray-linen, scallop circle-buttercream, bows-poppy
hearts starting at the top: nectar, grapefruit, sorbet, pimento, poppy, cranberry, honeysuckle, pink lemonade

The Greetery-Shortbread Shapes: Scalloped Hearts, French Kiss Sentiments

Next up I used the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Hearts Embossing Folder for the inner background of this card. Using the Capsule Fixed Borders Small Die I created a frame using Soft Stone cardstock and stamped the detail using the Capsule Collection Valentines Borders Stamp Set with Flannel ink. I added some strips of solid colored cardstock and then layered one of the Bigger Holiday Botanicals: Olive out of vellum with a few dew drops and a sentiment from Rosemall Reflections.

The Greetery-Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Hearts, Capsule Fixed Borders Small, Bigger Holiday Botanicals: Olive

This last card features the new Sweetest Frames Capsule Edition Stamp Stamp & Die Set. For the sentiment I used the Piped Sentiments: Sweet with vellum and matte gold. I added sub-sentiments form the Cocoa Cozy Stamp Set along with enamel hearts for embellishment. I stamped the background wavy lines with Poppy ink and the Pink Lemonade panel with Pink Lemonade ink. I stamped the bow with Poppy ink onto Poppy cardstock.
