Hello card

Hi everyone,

 

Just wanted to share with you a card I created using the Elementary Elegance Stamp set and the Everyday Enchantment DSP that is available during Sale-A-Bration.

 

I was looking at the colour challenge at Pals Paper Arts - Lucky Limeade, Always Artichoke and a colour of your choice?  Hmm interesting don’t you think?  What colour would you choose?  I decide on Calypso Coral.

 

The sketch was inspired by Card Patterns Sketch # 155 and my card has Always Artichoke for the base of the card.  The circles were created with the Circle Scissor Plus in Calypso Coral.

 

The leaves/bud image is from the Fabulous Florets stamp set which is in the Summer Mini Catalogue and has been stamped with Lucky Limeade ink.

 

The flowers are from scraps I had from cutting the main DSP and I punched the flowers out using the Boho Blossoms Punch.  The second layer of the flowers has been punched out with the same punch and the card stock is Very Vanilla.

 

Unfortunately you cannot see in the photo but I have coloured the Rhinestones in with the Lucky Limeade marker and they have a light tint of ink – just to be different but still with ‘bling’ !

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Fabulous Florets, Elementary Elegance

Card: Always Artichoke, Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla 
Ink: Always Artichoke, Lucky Limeade

Accessories:  Circle Scissor Plus, Boho Blossoms Punch, Always Artichoke Grosgrain Ribbon (Retired), Lucky Limeade Marker, Everyday Enchantment DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I have a few friends that I need to send a card to so this will be a great card to use for one of them.

Evening everyone, how are things with you?

 

I had planned a night of lots of crafting but I have been reading this book called Unearthly by Cynthia Hand and I couldn’t put it down until I finished it!

 

It was a great book and I am now on to the second novel in the trilogy but I have left that aside to start tomorrow night :)

 

I do have a card a wanted to share with you which I created using the Pals Paper Arts Sketch (PPA) and the colour combo at The Play Date Cafe.

 

I could not resist the colour challenge of Black, White with a splash of Hot Pink at The Play Date Cafe and I have flipped the sketch from PPA.

 

I used Melon Mambo as my splash of hot pink and the Fifth Floral stamp set for the images.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Fifth Avenue Floral, Perfect Punches

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

Accessories:  Eyelet Border Punch, Curly Label Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

There is always a little ‘bling’ on my cards – you should know by now it is one of my favourites, just adds that extra touch.

 

Hope your week is going well… see you next time.. Meg
