JustRite Papercraft April Release...

This week JustRite Papercraft is having a blog hop for their April Release! The stamps are to die for! I love them all and the entire design team has some mind-blowing projects for you to drool over all week!!

My card uses Classic Lace Edges One and Spring Rose Medallions that coordinates with the Nested Oval Medallion Dies. I just love that the Classic Lace Edges One coordinates with Spellbinders™ Edgeabilities® E8-007 Classic Edges One die templates.

I created my pretty background by stamping my lace border with Versamark ink and embossing with lilac embossing powder. I added a bit of Copic marker B21 for some extra shading. I stamped my Spring Rose Medallions with Memento Summer Sky and lightly added a bit of color to the roses and leaves with Copic Markers. I stamped my sentiment, cut it out with the Nested Oval Medallion Dies, then shaded with Lulu Lavender ink by Memento. I cut out one of the small Spellbinders™ Persian Motifs, edged it with blue ink, and nested my sentiment piece inside, then layered it to my Spring Rose Medallions piece.  I added pearls and a beautiful stacked Silk Ribbon bow. My ribbon is from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and if you haven't made a silk bow, you are missing out! It is so soft and ties the best bow ever!!!

 My card today is filled with spring floral tones and I wanted to make Repeat Impressions "1304-J, Beauty of Springtime" the focal point. I stamped my image on JustRite Nested Medallion Label Dies then added ivory shading on the edges with Copic Markers E53 and E51. I layered that piece with pop-dots to Spellbinders™ Picot Edge Circles and added more shading on the edge. My designer paper is from the Colorbok Rosewood paper stack, my May Arts silk ribbon from Stamp Simply, and then I added decorative stickpins and a rose for embellishments.
