Congratulations #GDP178

Hello Everyone,

This week’s challenge is a sketch challenge!

See what the Design Team have created with this sketch here

And this is my card…

I began by adhering some Designer Series Paper to a white card base.

A smaller layer of white card stock was cut with a 2 inch circle punch and then added over the top with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Old Olive ink. Some Flax ribbon was adhered behind this with dimensionals. This was in turn secured to the card with another layer of dimensionals.

Leaves were cut from Old Olive, Whisper White and vellum card stocks. A dab of glue held these in place within the aperture.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Spring Flowers

Hello Everyone,

This morning’s project is for a Facebook theme challenge from Jill. She has chosen spring flowers for the challenge.

I picked out the In Every Season stamp set and worked with the little bluebells.

I started by die cutting some Pool Party and vellum card stocks with the Stitched Rectangles dies.

The vellum was then embossed with the Layered Leaves folder and adhered to the Pool Party piece. Adhesive was applied knowing it would be covered by other elements of the card. Some Polka Dot Tulle was added to the piece before adding to the card.

The flowers were stamped with Stazon Ink to allow the use of watercolour pencils. These were then fussy cut and adhered on the left hand side. A small bow was secured over the untidy stems.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut. This adhered with dimensionals. Some matching glitter enamel dots completed the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Welcome to this month’s InspireINK blog hop. If you have joined me from Jill’s lovely project, you will know the theme this time is…

The card base was made from Whisper White card stock. A panel was embossed using the Layered Leaves Dynamic Embossing folder. A strip of So Saffron card was added over the top.

I added the orchids and slipped a Starburst cut from vellum behind them.

Before adhering to the card, I added some Polka Dot Tulle. A knot was tied on the left hand side.

I love the Swirly Bird stamp set…. It can be used for any occasion, gender neutral, and works with just about any colour combination going!

I started with Granny Apple Green ink, stamping the splatter image in both first and second generation ink.

The large swirl was added next with Coastal Cabana ink. The same ink, but second generation, was used for the smaller swirl.

For the sentiment, I used the bold font of the Perennial Birthday set with Melon Mambo ink. I adhered this to the card with dimensionals.

For His Birthday

Hello Everyone,
