Posted on September 12, 2022September 7, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Thank You Blog Hop where we are sharing…………you’ve guessed it, thank you cards! I have used the card from my blog yesterday as inspiration for today’s butterfly silhouette card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the butterfly silhouettes card, you will need:

Melon Mambo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Daffodil Delight card – 8⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower left corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded lower left corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3¾” – rounded lower left corner – for the inside
Basic Black card – 2” by 2”
Basic White card – 2“by 2”

I stamped the pretty butterfly from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set, randomly all over the smaller panel of Basic White card in Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo ink. I love these colours together.

Mount the stamped panel onto the Daffodil Delight card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a piece of Black Gingham Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to the Melon Mambo card front using the same glue.

The sentiment, from the Charming Sentiments stamp set, was stamped in Melon Mambo ink onto the square of Basic White card. I die cut this out using the Layering Circle Dies. I die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from the Basic Black square. The two circles were glued together and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Autumn Sunflower for the Stamping With Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on September 8, 2022August 31, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing Autumn themed projects. I have used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set to make my card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Autumn sunflower card, you will need:

Soft Succulent card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – Rounded lower left corner
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded lower left corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – Rounded lower left corner

Scrap Basic White & Basic Black card

I placed one of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks onto the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and used a Blending Brush to add So Saffron ink to the panel. Looks like I used the brush with a orange colour before as the background has a touch of peach colour! The inked panel was added to the Basic Black layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment, from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped onto a scrap of Basic Black card, after I had used the Embossing Buddy, in Versamark ink. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front.
