Bunch of Flowers

 

Hi everyone,

 

Hope you have had a great weekend or are having a great weekend.

 

We have had a lovely Mother’s Day here today, the weather was a little cool in the shade but the sun was warm.  I think it got to a top of about 19⁰C.

 

Well we have a new challenge at Come and Get It Challenges this week. 
A colour challenge -  Chocolate Chip, Marina Mist and Regal Rose.

 

So I have created my card around this colour challenge and the sketch layout is from Try Stampin On Tuesday.

 

I have changed the layout of the card from Landscape to Portrait and used Chocolate Chip for the base of my card.

 

The layer of Regal Rose card stock has been stamped with the En Francais script stamp in Regal Rose ink.

 

I have coloured the image in using the Aqua Painter and the Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip and Marina Mist inks. 

 

I added a very small touch of Pear Pizzazz to the leaves of the flowers with a cotton ball before I coloured the flowers in with Regal Rose ink. The face of the little boy has also been added with a very small amount of Regal Rose ink rubbed on with a cotton ball.

 

The strip of Chocolate Chip card stock has been embossed using the Big Shot and the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

 

The main image has been added to the Regal Rose cardstock with Dimensionals.

 

Here is my card….

Everyday Enchantment

Hi everyone,

 

I really love the Everyday Enchantment DSP which is available as part of Sale-a-bration.

 

So I have created a card with a sample of the DSP, images from the Elementary Elegance Stamp Set and a sample of the Everyday Enchantment Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon.

 

I am sure you now get the link with title of this posting :)

 

I would describe my card as having a spring feel, being soft flowing and it has been touched with my vintage attempt.  I am happy with it, have a look below:

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Elementary Elegance Stamp Set

Card: Peach Parfait, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Peach Parfait

Accessories:  1/8” (3.2 mm) Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon, Beautiful Winds Embosslits Dies, Everyday Enchantment DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

I have used a dauber and sponged some of the Peach Parfait ink on to the Peach Parfait cardstock after I sanded it back in a few different places.  I have also used the dauber with the Peach Parfait ink on the Very Vanilla card stock.

 

I am still hooked on the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Dies.  The larger butterfly is in Lucky Limeade card stock (even though the photo has it looking a little darker) and the small butterfly is in Very Vanilla cardstock.

 

Oh and don’t forget the added ‘bling’ in the corner and on the butterfly!  I added a little of the Lucky Limeade Organdy Ribbon to a dimensional at the back of the larger butterfly because I wanted it to seem like he was fluttering here and there :)

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.
