Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the garden flowers card, you will need:

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner

Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside

I stamped the large leafy image in Garden Green ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. I added one of the smaller leafy images to the left and right.

Using Poppy Parade ink, I added a couple of flowers to the stems. These are rather pale as my Poppy Parade inkpad needed re-inking.

I added another flower stamped in Bumblebee ink. The stamped panel was then added to the Garden Green panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same liquid glue to add the whole piece to the Poppy Parade card base.

The sentiment from the Garden Greenhouse stamp set was stamped in Versamark Ink onto the strip of Basic Gray card, covered with white embossing powder and set with my heat tool. It was added over the twine bow on Dimensionals.

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge and I have chosen to make a pot of daisies card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pot of daisies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Friendly Hello dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 1¾”
Mossy Meadow card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – ¼” strip

I adhered the piece of Friendly Hello dsp to the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next, I added Pale Papaya ink to the small panel of Basic White using a Blending Brush. I had tried a panel of Pale Papaya but the colour was too bright and I wanted something more muted. However, I felt the inked panel was to wishy-washy so I ended up stamping the group of daisies across the inked panel in 2nd generation Pale Papaya ink. I liked this as it gave the subtle texture I was looking for. The panel was then adhered above the dsp panel leaving about ¼” between the two pieces. The strip of Mossy Meadow card was adhered down to cover the edges of both the dsp and the inked panel.

The flowerpot from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Mossy Meadow ink and the group of daisies added in Basic Gray ink.  I used the Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the daisies and So Saffron for the flower centres.

The coloured image was then die cut using the Layering Circle Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and layered onto a larger scalloped circle cut in the same way with the same dies from the square of Mossy Meadow card. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment came from the Kite Delight stamp set ad was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto the strip of Basic White card and trimmed down with scissors before being added to the card using liquid glue.

I hope you like the card.

I have been playing with my Watercolor Pencils today and have used them to make a Batik Beauty stamp set using the Batik Boutique stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Batik Beauty card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Melon Mambo card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper left corner
Crumb Cake card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner

 

Using Crumb Cake ink, I stamped the large outline flower onto the Crumb Cake panel and used pencils from both of our watercolor sets to colour in the image. The colours I used were Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point & Whisper White. I love the soft effect the pencils give.

I wrapped a length of Flowers for Every Season Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape and glued the whole panel to the Crumb Cake card base.

The sentiment from the Eden’s Garden stamp set was stamped in Melon Mambo ink on the punched label. I cut the Melon Mambo label across the middle and glued it to the sentiment. The whole piece was mounted on the card front on Dimensionals.

I added a bow and a scattering of Subtle Sequins to complete the card.

So pretty, I hope you like it.
