Layer Punch Flowers

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was busy but us girls - my Mum, my daughter and I had a lovely dinner together on Saturday night :)

 

Now on to the card I wanted to share with you.

 

The layout is the Mojo Monday layout # 237 and I have combined it with the colour challenge from Play Date Cafe which is very bright Orange and Pink with White.

 

I used the Triple Layer Punch and I punched out 4 flowers in Tangerine Tango and Melon Mambo.

 

I used the outline of the Melon Mambo flowers and attached them to a Whisper White  strip of card stock.  I added dimensionals to the back of the Tangerine Tango punched flower and lined it up the Melon Mambo outline with some ‘bling’ to the centre of the punched flower. 

 

The base card of Tangerine Tango was embossed with the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and I swiped the Tangerine Tango ink pad across the card stock.

 

I daubered a light touch of Tangerine Tango ink to the edge of the Whisper White strip but I wanted to add a little bit more.  So with a scrap of Melon Mambo card stock I punched out a border with the Lace Ribbon Border punch.  I cut the border in half and daubered some Whisper White craft ink on the Melon Mambo border to soften the colour a little.

 

The sentiment “Cherish” is from the Baroque Motifs stamp set and has been punched out with the Modern Label punch.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Baroque Motifs

Card: Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo, Whisper White
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo, Whisper White Craft Ink

Accessories:  Triple Layer Punch Blossom Bouquet, Modern Label Punch, Lace Ribbon Border Punch, Stripes Textured Impression Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

This is different to my normal cards but I just gave it a try to see what I would get – as a number of my other stamping buddies say “it’s only cardstock” and you don’t know until you try.

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

What a Beautiful Autumn Day..

Hi everyone,

 

It has been a beautiful day today and we have been at the Easter Show.  It was glorious Autumn  weather, we checked out all the animals at the show, wood chopping and Charlize’s best part.. the Show Bags ! 

 

Now on to the card that I want to share a card with you.  The colours are from the colour challenge at  Come and Get It Color Challenge – Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze and Perfect Plum.

 

The sketch layout is from Mojo Monday Blog and it looked really simple but my goodness I changed my mind on how use the colours with the sketch and the stamp sets I was going to use many times.

 

I finally decided on Perfect Plum for the base of the card and added some the Pear Pizzazz 1/2” (1.3 cm) Stitched-Poly Ribbon.

 

The stamped flower is from the Array of Sunshine (Hostess set) and for the first layer I stamped it in Baja Breeze and rocked the stamp around on the edge of the Perfect Plum inkpad.  I then stamped out two more flowers in Baja Breeze and Perfect Plum, cut them out and layered it all together with some dimensionals.

 

The Perfect Plum layer has been embossed with the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder and at the last minute I added a bright shiny Rhinestone, of course :)

 

The sentiment is from the Word Play stamp set and has been stamped in Perfect Plum.

 

Here is my card….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Word Play, Array of Sunshine (Hostess)

Card: Perfect Plum, Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Ink: Perfect Plum, Baja Breeze

Accessories:  1/2” (1.3 cm) Pear Pizzazz Stitched-Poly Ribbon, Elegant Lines, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am really like the flower and even though it takes a little time to cut out the layers, I believe the end result is worth it.
