BIRTHDAY BONANZA

This is such a bright and colourful suite of products. I love the colour bundle: terracotta tile, grapefruit gove, mango medley, daffodil delight, coastal cabana and bermuda bay.

I wanted to play with the tag dies in the Bonanza Dies Set … to make a gift box to hold one of the clear tiny treat boxes … success. Each side has a square of DSP, as on the front.

i hope that you like the card and gift box as much as I do … tell me what you think.

Thanks for stopping by … happy stamping.

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.
