Using a Blending Brush, I added Whisper White ink to the centre of the panel using circular motions to blend the ink. I added Soft Succulent ink around the White area, the Evening Evergreen ink and finally Night of Navy ink around the outer edges to give some depth. I removed the Post It Notes and added the rectangle to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Placing the same plain circle die onto one of the Basic White panels and drew round it lightly with a pencil. This marks out the area to stamp around. I positioned it so that it part of the circle would end up being trimmed off.

The Quiet Meadow stamp set and Meadow Dies by Stampin' Up! used to make a pretty card

Shabby Chic Meadow

Today I am sharing a card made for a recent team challenge where our theme was ‘Shabby Chic’. This is so out of my comfort zone. I like clean and simple cards, bright colours so this topic was enough to bring me out in a rash……..

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the shabby chic meadow card, you will need:

Blushing Bride card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Crumb Cake – 5½” by 3¾”
Blushing Bride – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Very Vanilla – 5½” by 3¾”
Very Vanilla – 2¼” by 1¾”
Scrap Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake

Using 2nd generation Blushing Bride ink, I stamped the flower randomly all over the Blushing Bride panel. I added the scripty stamp using 2nd and 3rd generation Crumb Cake ink. Whilst I had the ink out I stamped in Crumb Cake ink in opposite corners of the Blushing Bride card front.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty shabby chic card made using the Quiet Meadow stamp set and Meadow Dies

I ripped down the right side of the stamped panel – quite enjoyed it once I got started…… I inked around the edge of the stamped panel with a Sponge Dauber and Crumb Cake ink. I ripped down the right side of the Crumb Cake panel, stamped down the side with the speckled stamp before inking around the panel using the Dauber and Crumb Cake ink.

Using a Bone Folder, I broke down the fibres in the upper left corner of both the Crumb Cake panel and the Blushing Bride panel. This allowed me to pull the layers apart and curl the corner. The layers were then adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped some of the gorgeous and sadly retired Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon around the panel before adding the panel to the Blushing Bride card base.

I die cut a Very Vanilla Label from scarp Very Vanilla card using the Tasteful Labels dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Blushing Bride ink. I added the scripty image on the label in 2nd & 3rd generation Crumb Cake ink and inked around the edges in Crumb Cake ink and added it over the ribbon on Dimensionals.

Using the Meadow dies I die cut 2 flowers from scrap Very Vanilla card. I stamped the speckled image over the die cut flowers and adhered them to the card front with liquid glue.

To complete the card, I tucked a strip of Lace Trim under the sentiment label and added a trio of Champagne Rhinestones.

Pretty cards made using the Dandy Wishes Dies by Stampin' Up! and made for my May Class in the Mail

Dandy Wishes May Class in the Mail

Today I am sharing the cards I designed for my May Class in the Mail using the gorgeous Dandy Wishes Dies. I have to admit I initially overlooked these dies, it wasn’t until I was working on class idea which didn’t involve stamping that I thought of using them. I am so glad I did as they are stunning.

For the class I die cut all the flowers, leaves, circles and rectangles and punched the small dragonflies.

Flowers And Friendship card for the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop

May be an image of outerwear and text that says "STAMPING inkspirations BLOG HOP GROUP"

Here is a pretty thank you card made using the new Flowers of Friendship stamp set which is available in the new Annual Catalogue which launched earlier this week. This was made for the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop where our theme is ‘All Things Floral’.

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the friendship thank you card, you will need:

Daffodil Delight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5½” by 4⅛”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Granny Apple Green & Basic White

 I mounted both of the small leaves onto the same acrylic and randomly stamped them around the edge of the Daffodil Delight card front in Daffodil Delight ink.

The spray of flowers was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the wider panel of Basic White card. I cleaned the stamp and used a Post It Note to mask off the stem, flower and leaf to the right of the centre stem, inked up with the Early Espresso ink, removed the Post It Note and stamped to the left of the original image.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap strip of Basic White card.  I used the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch to punch the sentiment out and punch a slightly larger label for a strip of Granny Apple Green.

The labels were glued together and a piece of White Bakers Twine was wrapped around and tied in a small bow. The label was added to the card on Dimensionals. I added a scattering of Artistry Bloom Sequins to complete the card.

I hope you like the card.
