Flowers & Butterflies

Hi everyone,

 

Hope that your week is going fine and that you are all well.

 

I have posted before that at times I take my inspiration from the colour choices in Design Series Papers and I must say one of my favourite papers at the moment is the Attic Boutique DSP in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.

 

The paper has colours: Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla and Whisper White.

 

I wanted to use some yellow and I knew I had some Daffodil Delight ribbon, so used a section of the DSP with some Daffodil Delight on it.

 

So my colour choices are Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. 

 

I have used my ribbon, ‘bling’ of course and something that I rarely use - some pearls, so I have gone very girly!  I am collecting a number of cards Mum would like, so my choice for Mother’s Day will be interesting :)

 

The sketch for my card is from Sketchy Colors and you can see it here.

 

I have used the Just Believe stamp set and my Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.  If you haven’t used this die, it embosses the butterflies and cuts them out in one go!  I keep the extra butterflies that I do not use in a container and they always come in handy.

 

The image was stamped in Daffodil Delight and sort of wiped with the Soft Suede inkpad before I stamped it on Very Vanilla card stock.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Just Believe

Card: Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Very Vanilla

Accessories:  Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die, 1/4” (6.4 mm) Daffodil Delight Grosgrain Ribbon, Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon (Retired), Basic Rhinestones, Pearls, Attic Boutique DSP,  Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I nearly gave up with the layout because I could get the right look but once I added the other piece of DSP on the top section of the card, I was happy.

Clean & Simple – My Friend

HI everyone,

 

I have a quick Clean and Simple (CAS) card to share with you.

 

The layout of the card is from the Less is More challenges and I have used the square sketch.

 

The main cardstock and ink used is Perfect Plum and the sentiment is from the My Friend stamp set.

 

The square is 6.5 cm x 6.5 cm and I have scored a single line at 0.5 cm on each side which you can just see in the photo.

 

I have stamped the flower image from the Creative Elements stamp set in the middle of the square.  I then stamped the image a further 2 times on scrap paper and cut out a few different sections and layered them on the main image with dimensionals. 

 

Here’s my card:

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Creative Elements, My Friend

Card: Perfect Plum, Whisper White
Ink: Perfect Plum

Accessories:  Modern Label Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I am really happy with this card and it was so quick to do.  This layout would be great to create a couple of cards for a gift….. hmm Mother’s Day is not far away!
