POPPIES PAINTED in GOLD FOIL

These cards started with me wanting to colour one of the sheets of paper from the FLOWERING FOILS SPECIALTY DSP packs, from the soon to be available Sale-a-bration Second Release … (March 3).

Today, I decided to use a range of our blues … you should see how inky my fingers are at the moment. My craft space might be clean and tidy now but I’m a mess.

You might not think that blues and flowers are a natural look, yet I’m really pleased with result … what do you think?

Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party; worked into an ombre style using our sponge brayers.

Luckily, I had a small amount of retired rose gold foil in my stash that I could use.

For this card, I simply used Night of Navy and worked the colour from very light to its true colour.

I like the way the blues really make the rose gold foil pop.

In case you haven’t already noticed, I enjoy layering. Layering the leaves behind the poppy was inspired by a video from Emma Goddard, of the Artisan Team. It is wonderful to have so inspiration readily at hand – the SU catalogues, Pinterest, Facebook … so many sources.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

SUNDAY STAMPIN’ SESSION

Today I am holding my first Brisbane workshop … after quite a long search, I have found a great meeting room at the Bulimba Library. It is a large, air conditioned space, with an outdoor courtyard and kitchenette.

The workshops will be held once a month at this stage … on the fourth Sunday of the month from 12pm until 4pm (except for March, when we can access the room at 12.30pm).

Our projects, for this workshop, will be based on the BEST DRESSED SUITE.

We will be making a set of four cards, using Note Cards and Envelopes with a coordinating gift box.

An easel card will be our final project, inspired by a card I saw on a video post from Frenchie Stamps.

There is a stamped Whisper White panel on the back of the card for birthday greetings.

If you are interested in coming to this, or future, workshops … contact me. I look forward to sharing information with you and answering any questions you might have.

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.

BEST DRESSED in BLOOM

This card is a bit different … I wanted to see how I could use the SO VERY VELLUM with the BEST DRESSED DSP.

I chose a piece of the handbags paper, because I hadn’t used it already, and then cut the vellum into squares and layered them … there was no plan, just see where it goes.

The “Happiness looks gorgeous on you”, from the TAGS IN BLOOM stamp set, seemed a perfect match for Best Dressed.

Cutting, layering and colouring … add some Wink and coloured pearls bling … and this is the result.

If you live in Australia and want to order any of these, or other Stampin’ Up! products, let me know … I would be happy to help you.

Thanks for stopping by … happy stamping.
