Here is an adorable sent with love Seaside Spray Tiles card made using the Today’s Tiles stamp set and my fantastic Stamparatus, I love this tool …..

To recreate the Seaside Spray Tiles card you will need :

Seaside Spray card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White – 5⅞” by 2⅝”
Misty Moonlight – 5⅞” by ⅜” x 2

I began by placing the smaller panel of Whisper White card in the Stamparatus and stamping the more solid tiled image in Misty Moonlight ink. With the Stamparatus you have the opportunity to stamp multiple times to get a really good image.

Red Sunflower

Posted on August 11, 2020August 8, 2020 by Mo Rootes

I love sunflowers, they are such cheerful flowers, so big and showy. I did a bit of google searching and discovered to my surprise that you can get a red sunflower ……..who knew!

To recreate the red sunflower card you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Real Red – 4⅜” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 4¼” by 3⅜” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Daffodil Delight, Real Red & Whisper White

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the large sunflower from the Celebrate Sunflower stamp set onto the smaller panel of Whisper White. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the stamparatus so that I could re-stamp to get a darker image. The leaves were stamped in Old Olive ink

I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the sunflower and leaves – Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Mango Melody, Old Olive and Soft Suede. I took a Black Stamp ‘n write marker to spritze the panel.

I wrapped some of the gorgeous Braided Trim around the panel and added a bow to the top. I added a small strip of Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Whisper White card with the ends flagged to the back of the panel using the liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped onto the Crumb Cake card base in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Stamparatus again as I wanted the sentiment to be really dark and could stamp it multiple times.

I added the stamped layer to the card base with Dimensionals and added a trio of Holiday Rhinestones to the card front. A little Clear Wink of Stella was added around the flower centre. So pretty.

Using Real Red ink on a Sponge Dauber I inked up the unicorn’s horn and a small part of the mane and closed the door, stamping the inked portion of the image onto the cardstock.

The next portion of the unicorn was inked in the same way using Pumpkin Pie ink and a Sponge Dauber. I repeated the same step inking up a didderent part of the unicorn and working my way down the unicorn’s body. I used Daffofil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape inks.
