Colour combo week 8: Abstract impressions

hi this weeks colour combo is lovely lipstick, granny apple green and pool party
I have used the abstract impressions stamp set and the tufted embossing folder.
I love how quick and easy it is to create a lovely floral scene with this set.

Colour Combo week 7: Making Christmas bright

This week I’ve used a new stamp set making Christmas bright. This also comes bundled with a punch
And will be available 5th September 2018

The colour combo this week is lovely lipstick, pineapple punch and basic grey


Highlighted spot card


This is a highlighted spot card.
You need to have 2 images that are the same.

Firstly I stamped the floral image from the Blended Seasons see on two pieces of whisper white card (9.5cm x 13.8cm)  with black memento.
I used my Stamparatus to ensure that both were exactly the same.
I then coloured one in using my Stampin blends. Colours are lovely lipstick, granny apple green and pool party.
I then punched out several different sized circles from the coloured image.
The circles were then fixed over the black and white image using dimensionals to give a bit of texture. ( I used the waste piece to help with the positioning)
This was matted onto a piece of granny apple green card (10cm x 14.3cm) and then onto a standard portraits white card blank.
If I were to do this technique again I’d make 3 images and then the waste piece could be used to make another card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Colour combo week 3: varied vases

A simple fold back card using the designer series paper and the varied vase bundle.


Hi
I'm entering a challenge so have created these projects,

First are 3 cards





This is a card using the colour coach, Grapefruit Grove, poppy parade and night of navy with a touch of mossy meadow. I have used the painted harvest stamp set stamped onto ww card, matted onto night of navy card and finally mounted onto a piece of whisper white which has been embossed with the tufted folder and sponged with poppy parade. Finished off with a Poppy parade mini striped ribbon bow and a tag from the wood crate framelit tied on with some copper thread.


This card uses the Colour my season bundle. The floral image is stamped and coloured using the watercolour pencils then the image is cut using the label dies. It is reassembled onto a night of navy card using several layers of dimensionals,
Finished with white organza bow.



This card uses share what you love and subtle designer series paper, lined alphabet stamps and dies, beautiful bouquet stamps and dies. I've used petal pin ink, soft sea foam and mint macaron.
I've cut and shaped a flower from the paper and added a punch leaf. 
here they are on a white background








Now for a scrapbook page of our holiday last year to Peru



Scrapbook page of Peru holiday.
Here I have used layering edge thinlets,  bubble over stamps and framelits, Pick a pennant stamps with Birthday fiesta framelits and stamps. The colours I have used are daffodil delight, mango melody, pineapple punch, lemon lime twist, call me clover, blueberry bushel, lovely lipstick and grey granite. I have also used the best route dsp

Finally some 3d projects 

These will be the basis of my Christmas table this year
 I have created this table place setting using old olive card and the Blended Seasons stamps and dies. I have coloured the images using stampin blends in old olive, poppy parade and soft sea foam and added a touch of wink of stella. I created the poinsettia using the small leaf stamp from the Rooted in nature stamp set, in merry merlot and old olive. I fussy cut the leaves, shaped them and added wink of stella to the merry merlot ones and a faceted gem in clear. Before attaching the poinsettia  I added some embossing using the seasonal wreath embossing folder

Sunday tutorial. Monochrome card

Hi everyone this is my second Sunday tutorial. Sorry no video
This weeks card is a simple monochrome card using Crumb cake and very vanilla

The first step is to create a portrait card blank this is a piece of card 14.8cm by 21cm folded to make a 14.8cm by 10.5 cm card blank
The second step is to cut a piece of crumb cake card 13.3cm by 10cm and emboss with an embossing folder of your choice. I’ve used Tin tile dynamic from Stampin Up which will be available in September.
Tie a ribbon around the bottom portion for this I’ve used a spotted tulle
Next I’ve cut the middle label die from the stitched seasons framelits and stamped the wheat image and the ‘wishing you all the best’ sentiment. These are from the Blended Seasons stamp set. I’ve brushed the stamped image with a little water to make it a little softer and then attached it to the card with dimensionals  voila clean and simple.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this tutorial.

If you need any supplies please head to my shop or just ask.
