Going Green

Hi everyone,

 

It’s St. Patrick’s Day on Saturday and nearly everyone is going green so I have joined in.

 

I have used one of my favourite greens – Old Olive, for the base of my card with a small amount of the DSP Paisley Petals.

 

I have tried to stay as green as possible but there is a little hint of colour in the DSP and I have stamped the Hello Blossoms stamp in Early Espresso and punched out the letters.  The word ‘hello’ has been added to the Always Artichoke image with Dimensionals.

 

For a contrast colour I have used River Rock other than that I am pretty green.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Hello Blossoms

Card: Old Olive, River Rock, Whisper White
Ink: Always Artichoke, Early Espresso

Accessories:  Oval Punch (Retired), Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, 5/8” (1.6 cm) Organza Ribbon Whisper White, Always Artichoke Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Paisley Petals DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I have also used some of the Whisper White Organza Ribbon and layered some retired Always Artichoke Grosgrain Ribbon.

Hello Blossoms Sketch

Hi Everyone,

 

Time has been on short supply this week :)      so I have not had a lot of time to create very much.

 

But I should get back into the swing of things over the weekend.

 

Although I had a chance to create a new card using the Hello Blossoms stamp set for the Card Patterns Sketch #112 challenge and the ColorQ colour challenge.

 

Both are below and you can visit the sites if you click the images:

 

 

 

I have twisted the sketch and changed it a little as this stamp set has the sentiment in the flowers.

 

I also stamped the image twice, the first one was on Whisper White cardstock in Kiwi Kiss ink and the second on Whisper White cardstock with Baja Breeze ink.

 

Both pieces of  the Whisper White cardstock were the same size prior to being stamped on so I cut them down the middle and then matched the images up to get the two tone effect.

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Hello Blossoms

Card: Always Artichoke, Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Ink: Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss (Retired)

Accessories:  5/8” (1.6 cm) Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Always Artichoke Grosgrain Ribbon (Retired), Mat Pack for Paper-Piercing, Scallop Edge Border Punch, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

This was a quick card to make with this great sketch layout.

 

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

 

 

 

PS - This little stamp set is such great value and is currently available Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue which you can view via the link on my blog or if you would like a copy of the mini catalogue email me and I will send one to you.

 

 

Take care….. Meg x

Hello Blossoms

Hi everyone,

 

Hope your weekend is going great….. :)

 

I have created a card based on the Colour Challenge from Picture Perfect Creations # 54 and the sketch layout from Sketch Saturday # 149.

 

Both inspirations are below:

 

 

 

I have used Melon Mambo as the base of my card and the new Hello Blossoms stamp set from the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.

 

I think my card is close to the sketch and the colours from the combo challenge look great together.  Of course I have added my favourite “bling” with some of the rhinestones.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Hello Blossoms

Card: Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo

Accessories:  5/8” (1.6 cm) Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Mat Pack for paper-piercing, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

A happy little card – don’t you think?  Leave me a comment and let me know.

 

Keep creating…. Meg x
