Using the same machine, I ran through one of the Basic White card panels with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to add the embossed panel to the Basic Black layer.

The whole panel was then glued to the Magenta Madness card front using the same liquid glue.

The inked block technique used with the Sheltering Tree stamp set for the Global Design Project #183 Challenge

Sheltering Tree for the GDP #183 challenge

Today I am sharing a card made using the Sheltering Tree stamp set for the Global Design Project #183 challenge, this week’s theme is ‘A Day in the Park’

Making the card

You will need;
Balmy Blue card base
Granny Apple Green 5” by 3⅝”
Early Espresso 4⅝” by 3¼”
Whisper White 4⅜” by 3”
Whisper White 4⅛” by 3”
Whisper White 4⅛” by ½”
Whisper White scrap for the sentiment

I began by taking acrylic block H which is long and thin and inking it by pressing the bottom ⅓ onto a Pear Pizzazz ink pad and the upper ⅔’s onto a Balmy Blue ink pad. Once inked I used a Spritzer filled with water and sprayed the inked block with water until it was wet but not running. The block was then placed on a panel of Whisper White, face down and left for a couple of minutes to let the watery ink soak into the cardstock.

The inked block technique used with the Sheltering Tree stamp set for the Global Design Project #183 Challenge

www.crafty-rootes.com – the Sheltering Tree stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used for the Global Design Project #183 Challenge

Once dry I placed the panel onto the platform of the Stamparatus and positioned the tree image from the Sheltering Tree stamp set, half on and half off the inked panel, I stamped the tree in Early Espresso and used the Stamparatus as it allowed me to stamp the image multiple times to achieve a really dark impression.

The inked block technique used with the Sheltering Tree stamp set for the Global Design Project #183 Challenge

www.crafty-rootes.com – the Sheltering Tree stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used for the Global Design Project #183 Challenge

I used a Post It note to mask off the left side of the panel along the edge of the inked block impression. I then inked up the tree canopy with Pear Pizzazz and stamped it using the Stamparatus. The Post It note ensured that ‘leaves’ were only stamped on the right side of the tree. I wanted to show the tree changing from Winter to Spring. I repeated the stamping with Granny Apple Green ink to give a two-tone effect to the leaves.

I stamped the ‘ground’ image in Pear Pizzazz ink and added ‘grass’ on the right side of the panel. A couple of falling leaves were added to cover a smudge!

I rounded the upper right corner with the Detailed Trio Punch and added the stamped layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a panel of Early Espresso with a rounded upper right corner. This was then glued with the same glue to a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock, with a rounded corner.

I adhered a strip of Whisper White cardstock to the front of a Balmy Blue card base using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added the stamped panel to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Fable Friends stamp set was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched out with a 1¼” Circle Punch. It was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the tree and canopy onto the layer of Whisper White for the inside of the card and the envelope.

An interesting technique. I hope you like the card.

Making the Card

A floral card made using the Four-Petal Punch and the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack

Garden Path for the GDP #175

Today I am sharing a card I made for the Global Design Project #175 the theme being ‘down the garden path’.  I also used the card as my swap for a training event I am at today, I chose to make my swaps using flower and leaf punches.

Making the card

I started by stamping the 2 large flowers from the Pop of Petals stamp set onto scrap Whisper White cardstock using Lovely Lipstick ink. I die cut the adorable doily ring from the Doily Builder set of dies using Whisper White cardstock and adhered it to a panel of Whisper White cardstock (measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”) using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added the small circular centres punched using the same set of punches in either Night of Navy or Daffodil Delight cardstock. I also punched out a couple of the foliage sprigs using the Sprig Punch.

A pretty floral card made for the global design project #174 challenge

GDP#174 challenge – Lasting Lily

Today I am sharing a card made for the Global Design Project (GDP#174) challenge which this week is a sketch. I found myself drawn yet again to the Lasting Lily stamp set for this project, I can’t seem to put this set down, it is gorgeous and FREE with a £90 order from the Sale-a-Bration brochure.

Making the card

I chose to keep the oval from the sketch but changed the orientation making mine a portrait card instead of a landscape card. I die cut the largest stitched oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies and stamped the large lily image from the Lasting Lily stamp set in Poppy Parade ink, this is a distINKtive stamp giving great dimension to the stamped image. I then added the stalk and leaf in Granny Apple Green ink. I had planned to leave the oval with just one flower but felt it looked a bit bare so added the smaller flower and stalk using the same ink.

Using the Big Shot and the Layering Ovals Framelit dies I cut out a slightly larger scalloped oval from Poppy Parade cardstock and adhered it to the stamped panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I then tucked some of the leaves from the gorgeous Butterfly Elements under the sentiment and the oval. To finish off the card front I added some of the Glitter Enamel Dots.

Vibrant Vases for the GDP #173 Colour Challenge

Today I have been playing along with the Global Design Project (GDP#173) colour challenge which this week features Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron and Petal Pink, all from the Subtles collection of colours. I used the gorgeous Vibrant Vases stamp set to make my card.

Making the card

I began with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3 ¾” by 3”. I inked up the solid vase with So Saffron ink, stamped off once onto my Grid Paper then stamped onto the Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the detailed vase image over the top in full strength So Saffron ink. I love the added dimension you get when you stamp off the solid image.

I inked up the outline image of the roses in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it on top of the vase image. The roses were then coloured in with the Petal Pink and the leaves added in Soft Sea Foam.

I die cut the stamped vase image using my Big Shot and the lovely new Stitched Rectangles dies. I chose my sentiment from the vibrant vases stamp set, masked off the word ‘always’ and then inked up the ‘you are loved’ in So Saffron ink and stamped the image at the top of the stitched rectangle. The whole stamped piece was then added to a panel of Petal Pink cardstock measuring 3⅝” by 2¾” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Taking the small bokeh dot image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set I stamped the dots in a wavy line across the front of a Thick Whisper White card base in all 3 colours. The stamped panel was added to the card front on Stampin Dimensionals and a scattering of Iridescent Sequins added to give a little sparkle.

I have to say that these are not colours I would normally have chosen but I really love this card. I hope you like it.
