Letters in Blossom Sets

Welcome to Day 2 of the beautiful Blossom Collection Spring Stamps!  I am so excited about this concept and the additions to the family that are coming.  Including today's awesome letter set.  I {{{heart}}}}this set!  I've been asking for a letter set for a while, and you'll love Marcella's beautiful artistry on it too.  

I went a little crazy and created personalized card sets for all the ladies in my Bible Study.  They are wonderful women and we've walked through a lot together.  So I made a set of 4 cards for each of them.  

There's a lot of pictures today so scroll on!  Any of them can be clicked on to enlarge the picture.  

As I made them I tried to think of each ladies' personality and paired colors together for that.  I grabbed lots of designer paper from my stash and went from there for my coloring...

Each set looks like this above, I started with the cards on the right, scoring all those backgrounds and individually coloring their initials, after 8 sets of cards....I knew I needed a more simple design for the other pair in each set, so I used a single inked monogram blending with my Letraset AquaMarker to soften the color, adding the flower spray from yesterdays' Summer Blossoms set, and the used an embossing folder to match the designer paper.  Each set also has its own tag and then stamped envelopes.  

Here's a closeup of the tag....

I used my Scor Buddy for the diagonal scoring and also this ribbon from the store (Woven Iridescent), probably my all time favourite ribbon we've ever carried....so much sheen, and ties beautifully!  

Of course I love the green :)  

Embossing Folder....Compassionate by Art Nouveau (sold out right now).  

I LOVE the embossing folder on the left in the above cards! Courtship by Art Nouveau.

Isn't it lovely?  

I thought about creating a box for each set of cards....but wow, when I realized how long these sets took me (despite using simple designs), I decided to go a different route.  When I packaged the cards I cut a piece of cardstock to match just slightly larger then the cards, stamped it up with the Summer Blossoms stamp and then tied them into bundles with the tag in a bow.
