SOMETHING A LITTLE SIMPLER

Hello – I’m so pleased that you have popped by for this project share.

I wanted to use the TRANQUIL THOUGHTS BUNDLE again but using a different colour palette to the projects I have shared over the past few days. And, a card that is a little simpler.

I chose Pretty Peacock as the main colour and a sheet of paper from the FINE ART FLORAL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER to cut the corner leaves die. The brushstroke style of this piece of DSP adds wonderful colour variation to the front of the card.

I don’t think that you can ever have too many Thank You cards on hand. I stamped the sentiment on Pretty Peacock and cut it out using one of the oval STITICHED SHAPES DIES. For a backing piece, I used a larger oval to cut a pice of vellum.

The Coastal Cabana ribbon is from the PLAYING WITH PATTERNS RIBBON COMBO PACK.

The finishing touch was to place a few FROSTED CLEAR EPOXY DROPLETS on the card front.

And, you know me – no naked card insert or envelope.

Definitely a pretty card.

Happy stamping.

SHIMMERING LEAVES

Hello and welcome to my latest post. I appreciate you popping by.

I have made another card using the TRANQUIL THOUGHTS BUNDLE, using a colour palette similar to the last two projects I shared.

This time, I chose the corner die from the set. I cut two corner pieces in Basic White so that could colour them and use them as a frame for the sentiment. Dimensionals were used to lift the leaves frame up off the card base.

One of the features of this die set is that three of them both cut and emboss the card stock.

I stamped one of the leaves, in Crumb Cake, across the front of the card base.

The colours I used were Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green. I used a Blending Brush to colour the leaves before applying Frost White Shimmer Paint over one of the corner pieces.

The greeting is stamped usng Crumb Cake and cut using a die from the STITCHED SO SWEETLY DIES.

I love using LINEN THREAD to create a bow from mulitple lengths of thread. After I attached the bow to the card front, I added a few ELEGANT FACETED GEMS.

Not all the leaves were adhered – I wanted to be able to curl some of them up to create more ‘texture’ to the card.

I am so pleased with the way this card turned out. What do you think? Let me know.

Happy stamping.

THINKING OF YOU

Hello and thank you for popping by! I hope that you like what see and continue to visit me.

Today I am still featuring the TRANQUIL THOUGHTS BUNDLE and have a large slimline card to share.

I had an idea floating around in my mind – I wanted to have a Basic White panel that I could cut one of the square leaf dies three times, rotating it as I went. This idea reminds me of tryptich art works, a bit like this example I found.

After the three dies were cut, I added some Granny Apple Green using a BLENDING BRUSH and then painted FROST WHITE SHIMMER PAINT over the leaves as well.

The SHIMMER PAINT leaves such a stunning effect.

I stamped the sentiments in Crumb Cake and cut them down using my stampin’ Trimmer. I almost always use dimensionals to pop my greetings up on. Finally, I added some ELEGANT FACETED GEMS in each space.

Using Crumb Cake again, I stamped one of the leaves on the inside white panel and on the envelope.
