Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the rainbow snowflake card, you will need:

Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Misty Moonlight card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner

I started by randomly stamping the largest snowflake in Soft Sea Foam ink across one of the Basic White panels. I added the group of snowflakes in Balmy Blue ink.

The next size snowflake was stamped in Fresh Freesia ink, the next in Pale Papaya ink and finally the smallest in Polished Pink ink.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was added in Balmy Blue ink and the panel added to the Misty Moonlight panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I inked up the trio of flowers from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya ink and added a dab of Polished pink ink to the centre of each flower using a dauber. I repeated this above and below the masked off area. The flower centres were added in Polished Pink ink using one of the smaller flowers.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty peach blossom themed thank you card for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

The leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink. I used the large spray of leaves, only inking up 2 or 3 at a time. I added a few of the tiny pair of leaves in the same ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty peach blossom themed thank you card for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

The trio of tiny flowers was stamped in Polished Pink ink to fill in some of the spaces and the image I used as a flower centre was stamped in Pale Papaya ink. The stamped panel was then glued to the Pale Papaya card layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive before being added on Dimensionals to the Polished Pink card front.

Stampin' Up! Meadow Dies coloured with Sponge Daubers to make a stunning thank you card

Colorful Meadow for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on May 4, 2021May 4, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing a colouring technique. I have made a lovely Colorful Meadow card using the Meadow Dies. You are currently with Mo Rootes from near Cambridge in the UK.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the colourful meadow card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4 ⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Poppy Parade – 5” by 3 ¼” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 4⅞” by 3⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White

Taking the smaller Basic White panel and the spotty stamp from the Quiet Meadow stamp set I randomly stamped in Smoky Slate ink. I die cut a number of the Meadow Dies from scrap Basic White.

www.crafty-rootes.com -The stunning Meadow Dies used with Sponge Daubers to make a pretty thank you card

Using Sponge Daubers, I added colour to each flower. I used Old Olive and Just Jade inks for the stems and leaves. The larger flower was coloured using Poppy Parade and Cherry Cobbler and the smaller flower coloured with Bumblebee and Poppy Parade. I dabbed the colour on and carefully and lightly sponged it over the die cut taking care not to bend or tear the fragile die cut pieces.

The flowers were added to the stamped background using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive which I applied using my Silicon Mat and a piece of Sponge.

The stamped layer was added to the Poppy Parade layer with the same liquid glue. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the layers tying it in a bow. The panel was then mounted onto the Smoky Slate card base on Dimensionals.

The leaves were added in Pretty Peacock ink. The stamped panel was then added to the Pretty Peacock layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Using the same glue I added the layer to the Seaside Spray card front.

www.crafty-rootes.com – 2019 – 2021 Retiring In Colors Blog Hop featuring the Beautiful Friendship stamp set

I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto the small square of Basic White card and die cut it using the Layering Circles Dies and Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

www.crafty-rootes.com – 2019 – 2021 Retiring In Colors Blog Hop featuring the Beautiful Friendship stamp set

Using the same set of dies I cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from the square of Pretty Peacock. The sentiment was glued to the scalloped circle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Garden Wishes stamp set by Stampin’ Up!used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

I decided the image needed something more and added a group of small flowers from the Grace’s Garden stamp set in Old Olive ink and coloured them in using the Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Blends.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Garden Wishes stamp set by Stampin’ Up!used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The stamped layer was added to the Cherry Cobbler layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a strip of Lace Trim to the side of the panel using Tear & Tape before adhering it to the Old Olive card front.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Garden Wishes stamp set by Stampin’ Up!used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The sentiment from the Garden Wishes stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink onto scrap Very Vanilla, trimmed out with sharp scissors. I mounted it on a scrap of Old Olive. It looked a little plain so I die cut the sweet edge strip from the Be Mine dies from a scrap of Cherry Cobbler card and cut it to fit.

I used the So Saffron Blends to colour in a trio of Basic Pearls and added them to the card front.

A pretty birthday card featuring Floating butterflies for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

Floating for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

Posted on January 10, 2021January 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo Blog Hop. Our colours this month are Melon Mambo, Bumblebee and Pool Party, such lovely bright cheerful colours. I have chosen to use the Floating and Fluttering stamp set to make my card. Please continue around the hop to see what inspiration the other demos have for us today.

To recreate the floating card, you will need:

Melon Mambo – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Bumblebee – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner x 2 – one for the inside
Whisper White 4” by 3”

Using the fabulous Blending Brushes, I added some Pool Party ink to one of the large Whisper White panels. I added some speckles using a stamp from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set using the same Pool Party ink. This adds some subtle texture to the image.

I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set in the corner using Melon Mambo ink. The panel was then added to the Bumblebee layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using Basic Gray ink I stamped the butterfly image from the Floating & Fluttering stamp set and die cut it out using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, which I love……. and the Fluttering dies.

I used the infill stamps to colour the butterflies, The largest in Melon Mambo, the smaller two in Bumblebee, 1^st and 2^nd generation ink. I coloured the leaves in using the Pool Party ink. I added them to the card base with Dimensionals.
