Love Defined Card

BySue Madex December 14, 2010August 31, 2025

Today I’m sharing the second card we made at my Summer Mini Catalogue Launch last week. This one uses a couple of the stamps from the Love Defined set and the new Presto Patterns DSP.

Colours: Rich Razzleberry, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White.

We sponged Rich Razzleberry ink onto a 3″ square piece of the floral design from Presto Patterns. This paper has glossy patterns on it that you reveal by adding ink. You can add just one colour as we have here or combine a few. Some ladies added lots of ink for a strong panel and others sponged lightly for a softer look. Give it a polish with the sponge when you’re done and the glossy pattern shows up beautifully.

We used markers (Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizzazz) to colour the floral image and the Love greeting which is punched with the Modern Label Punch. The matching Pear Pizzazz ribbon adds a bit of texture. And don’t you just love those little mini library clips – we did.

Cheers, Sue
