Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the metallic holly leaves card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Vellum – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

Using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, I embossed the piece of Vellum and adhered it to the Soft Sea Foam card base using Seal +, one strip in the centre of the card base where it would be hidden.

Basket of Blooms card

Posted on October 2, 2022September 21, 2022 by Mo Rootes

I love combining elements from different stamp sets to create something new and different and have created a basket of blooms using the Cheerful Basket stamp set and Wisteria Wishes stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the basket of blooms stamp set, you will need:

Pale Papaya card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Sweet Sorbet card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White& Old Olive card

I saw a Youtube video a while ago showing how to colour using ordinary colouring pencils with Vaseline which helps them to blend. I wondered if it would work with our Watercolor pencils and thought I would give it a go.

The basket from the Cheerful Basket stamp set was stamped in Sahara Sand ink and used the Early Espresso and Cajun Craze watercolor pencils to add colour to the basket. I dipped the tip of the pencil into a small pot of Vaseline before applying the colour, dipping again as needed. The colour went on really smoothly and I was able to get a really rich colour by building up the layers. The basket was die cut using the Full Basket dies.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Wisteria Wishes and the Cheerful Basket stamp sets used to make a pretty basket of blooms card

The stems and leaves were stamped on the smaller panel of Basic White card in Old Olive ink and the die cut basket added with .Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then glued to the Sweet Sorbet layer.

I wrapped a length of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then adhered to the Pale Papaya card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Wisteria Wishes and the Cheerful Basket stamp sets used to make a pretty basket of blooms card

The flower spikes from the Wisteria Wishes stamp set were inked with Pale Papaya ink and I added Sweet Sorbet ink to the tops with a Stampin’ Write Marker. The flowers were then stamped onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Wisteria Dies. They were added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Wisteria Wishes and the Cheerful Basket stamp sets used to make a pretty basket of blooms card

The sentiment, from the Charming Sentiments was stamped in Old Olive ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut with one of Stylish Shapes Dies. A slightly larger scalloped circle was adhered to the reverse and the sentiment was then added to the card front.

Such a pretty card. I really enjoyed colouring with Vaseline and will definitely try it again.

A framed occasions card made for the Ink. Stamp. Share colour challenge Blog Hop using the Framed Occasions stamp set and Beautiful Shapes Dies by Stampin' Up!

Occasion Framed card for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on September 24, 2022September 12, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we have a colour challenge. We were asked to create something using 3 of the following 5 colours:

I couldn’t pick just 3, I mean which 3 would you choose?……..so….. I used them all + Basic White to create an occasion framed card.

To recreate the occasion framed card, you will need:

Thick Basic White care base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Design A Daydream dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Polished Pink card – Smidgeon under 5” by smidgeon under 3¼”
Basic White card – 4⅞ by 3⅛”
Scrap Basic White card

The layer of Design A Daydream designer series paper (dsp) was glued to the Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the hexagonal frame in Blackberry Bliss ink onto the scrap Basic White card an added the sentiment in Tahitian Tide ink. This was then die cut using the Beautiful Shapes dies.

The die was then placed on the panel of Basic White card and using a pencil, I drew lightly around the inside. This helps when positioning the stamped images.

Th flowers were stamped first in Polished Pink ink, I always like to stamp the larger images first. The leafy sprig was then stamped in Parakeet Party, the outer image in full strength and the infill image in 2^nd generation ink.

The smaller sprig was stamped in Daffodil Delight ink, the long thin, sprig added in Parakeet Party and finally, the trio of dots in Tahitian Tide. The pencil lines were then erased and the stamped panel added to the Polished Pink layer.

A length of 2022 – 2024 In Color Twine were wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape and the panel added to the card front using the same liquid glue.

The sentiment piece was then added to the card front on Dimensionals. A double bow, made using the 2022-2024 In Color Twine was added with a Mini Glue Dot. I coloured three basic rhinestones using the Polished Pink Blends Pens and added them to complete the card.
