Pot of Daisies for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

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”

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.

A pretty campervan congratulations card made for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Mirrored Campervan for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing our favourite Stampin’ Up! Products. So much to choose from – eventually I settled on our fabulous Stamparatus and decided to showcase the mirror technique and make a sweet mirrored campervan card for a friend’s anniversary.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the mirrored campervan card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Balmy Blue card – 5 ½” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Scrap Basic White

 

I mounted the campervan image on the Stamparatus plate and stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the smaller panel of Basic White card.  I moved the plate along 2 hinge steps, placed the Silicon Mat on top of the stamped image, inked up and stamped onto the Silicon Mat. I repeated this step to get a darker image.

The Silicon Mat was turned over, lined up next to the original stamped image inked side down. I then stamped the image down on the back of the Silicon Mat to provide the pressure to imprint the image. Lifted the Silicon Mat and voila we had a mirror image!

I stamped the single daffodil image in Basic Gray ink onto the smaller panels of Basic White card.  The sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set was also stamped in Basic Gray ink. I add a scattering of dots in the same colour ink.

Using the following Blends Alcohol Markers I coloured in the daffodil – Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green. I also used the Color Lifter to lighten up some of the colour. The stamped panel was glued to the Flirty Flaming layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using Sponge Daubers I added Bumblebee ink, Calypso Coral ink and Cherry to Cobbler ink, huffed on it to re-moisten the ink and stamped the image in the centre of the smaller Basic White panel. I love the effect this gives; it looks similar to the effect you would get using the baby wipe technique.

I inked up the sentiment, from the In Bloom stamp set using Versamark ink, I then stamped again with Cherry Cobbler ink and stamped it onto a scrap piece of So Saffron. I covered the stamping with Clear Embossing Powder and Heat Set it with my Heat Tool. I used my sharp Scissors to fussy cut out the image and added the sentiment to the card front with Dimensionals.
