Hello and welcome to the August Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop, if you have hopped on from Vickie Kello you are now with me, Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. Our theme this month is ‘favourite bundle’. There are so many gorgeous bundles in the new annual catalogue that I struggled to choose only one. After a lot of messing about I have gone for the All Things Fabulous Bundle, purely for it’s versatility and sheer beauty and the fact that I love the three step stamping.
To recreate the favourite bundle card you will need:
Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Pretty Peacock – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower left corner x 2
Scrap Whisper White and Highland Heather
I began by stamping the ‘herringbone’ image from the Comfort & Hope stamp set in 3rd generation Highland Heather ink onto one of the Whisper White panels. I wanted a soft subtle something in the background.
The solid flower image from the All Things Fabulous stamp set was stamped twice in Pool Party ink unto the Whisper White panel. I added the second image over top using Coastal Cabana ink and the third and most detailed image in Pretty Peacock ink. I love the depth and shading the multi-layer stamping gives the flowers.
The leaves were stamped in Gray Granite ink and the small flowers added in Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape ink.
I added the group of buds in 2nd generation Gray Granite and Bermuda Bay ink, before adding the stamped panel to the Pretty Peacock layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the Pool Party card base with Dimensionals.
The sentiment from the All Things Fabulous stamp set was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock about ⅜” wide and trimmed down with scissors. A scrap of Highland Heather ½” wide was used to back the sentiment. The sentiment strip was then added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
I added a scattering of Noble Peacock Rhinestones to complete the card. These are sadly retired but Basic Rhinestones would work just as well. I hope you like the card. Libby Dyson is up next so please hop over to see what she has to share with us this month.
