Beautiful Friendship for a special friend

Posted on August 2, 2019July 28, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a pretty card made for one of my oldest and dearest friends using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set.

To recreate the Beautiful Friendship card you will need;

Thick Whisper White card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Basic Gray cardstock 4⅛” by 3 ⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White cardstock 4” by 3” – rounded upper right corner

Using some temporary adhesive I adhered the Whisper White piece to the card front. I then stamped the flowers and leaves beginning with the largest images and making sure to stamp overlapping on to the card base.

I used Rococo Rose ink for the large and small roses, Seaside Spray for the hydrangea, Purple Posy for the long flower spays and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.

The frame was then lifted away abd foam adhesive strips added all round the rectangular aperture making sure to leave no gaps.

To a Wild Rose

Posted on May 29, 2019May 28, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Here is a card made for our latest team challenge – the theme of the challenge is ‘pre-order’. I chose to use the gorgeous ‘To a Wild Rose’ stamp set and co-ordinating Wild Rose dies which will be available for my online store from 4^th June 2019.

To recreate the To a Wild Rose card you will need;

Rococco Rose card base 5⅞” by 8¼” scored at 4⅛”

The images in this gorgeous stamp set are triple layered. The first is an outline image, the second a more detailed image and the third a solid base layer. I randomly stamped the second layer image in Rococco Rose ink – I am loving this new in-color – onto one of the larger Whisper White layers. I really love the effect this gives.

The rose was added to the die cut circles on Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Wonderful Moments stamp set was stamped in Merry Merlot ink onto scrap Whisper White and trimmed out with scissors. It was added to the card front with the same liquid glue.
