Bloomin’ Lovely

Wow it is hot!  I have just been to the Warehouse to buy a tiny desk so I could put my computer in my bedroom as it has an air-conditioner so I can actually do some work.  It’s not really big enough for crafting, but we’ll see.

Today's card was inspired by a wonderful Dunedin Demonstrator, Megan McDonald.  If you would like to try making these flowers, Megan has created a brilliant Tutorial.

 

I was really pleased with the way the flowers came out and although a bit fiddly, they are quite easy.  The dark flower is made from Rose Red Card Stock & the 2 pink ones are made using Very Vanilla CS that I have coloured with Regal Rose ink, sponges & sponge daubers. I have concentrated the colour in the centre of the lightest one & on the outside of the darkest one. They were all sprayed with water, as it definitely gives them a better appearance. I used the Crimper and 5-Petal Flower Punch to make the leaves.

The card itself is made from Very Vanilla & Always Artichoke CS.  The background is stamp with the script stamp from the Rustic Rooster Hostess Set.   I have also used Sincere Salutations, Frames with a Flourish, Very Vanilla Ribbon, Large Grommets & Rhinestone Brads.

You couldn’t post this card unless you made a box for it to go in, but it is lovely card to give someone for a special occasion.

Happy Stamping!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Hi Everyone
Wow, what a busy week, what with classes, the SENZ papercraft show and of course lots of stamping, my poor husband has hardly seen me!
I have made lots of new samples to show you though.



These 2 cards have been made using the 5th Avenue stamp set. I have stamped the image on vellum card stock and then embossed it in white. I then coloured the back of the image using Stampin' Markers and finally covered the front of the image in Dazzling Diamonds.

This card, using the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set, I copied from our demonstrator newletter. I love the colour combination of Chococlate Chip, Pumpkin Pie and Pixie Pink.


Yes, another Rustic Rooster! I double embossed this image to get multiple layers of colour on his tail. The background had been sponged with multiple colours.

C is for Cat and P is for Paws, this was one of my "just got to have" stamp sets!
