Hello and welcome to the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop where were are sharing projects demonstrating the paper piecing technique. I have used the In The Moment stamp set and the Masterfully Made designer series paper.

To recreate the waiting lady card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Masterfully Made dsp – 5½” by 3¾”

The same image was stamped again onto 3 different pieces of the lovely Masterfully Made dsp. Using Scissors I cut the dress from one pattern, The belt and cuffs from another pattern and the hat from the third pattern. These pieces were then glued in place on the original image.

Using the following Blends Pens I coloured in the rest of the image – Petal Pink for the arms, 2 of the darker shades from the Naturals Collection for the hair, Crumb Cake for the railings and Berry Burst for the wine in the glass. I used a light Pool Party Blends Pen to outline the figure and blurred the edges using a Color Lifter.

A strip of Silver Ribbon was wrapped around the panel before it was glued to the Berry Burst layer. The whole piece was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment, from the Earthen Textures stamp set, was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Berry Burst card, I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. The sentiment was then die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added it over the ribbon using Mini Glue Dots.

A ribbon bow and a trio of Glossy Dots completed the card.

Smooched Hydrangea

A sweet card featuring a gorgeous smooched Hydrangea made with the Hydrangea Haven stamp set and Hydrangea Dies and some watercolour ink smooching. Love a bit of smooching.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the smooched Hydrangea card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Flirty Flamingo – 5¾” by 3¼” – Rounded lower right corner
Fluid 100 – 5” by 5½” – Cut down to 5” by 3” after inking – Rounded lower right corner -the remnant used to die cut the individual blooms
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” Rounded lower right corner
Scrap Fluid 100 & Soft Sea Foam

I began by taking my large F Block and pressing the Blushing Bride ink pad onto it. I then dabbed Highland Heather ink in random spots on the block. I then used a Spritzer to spray the inked bloc with water. I laid the panel of Fluid 100 water color paper on top of the wet ink and allowed it to soak into the paper. This was then set aside to dry.

I mounted the Hydrangea image onto my Stampartus plate inked it up with Versamark ink, then inked it again with Memento Tuxedo Black ink before stamping it down onto scrap Fluid 100 paper. I used the stamparatus to do this as it can be difficult to get a good, clear stamped image on textured water colour paper and doing it this way would allow me to re-stamp if I needed too. I then covered the stamped image with Clear Embossing Powder and Heat set it using my Heat Tool. This image was then die cut using the Hydrangea Dies. I cut off the bloom using scissors.

I repeated the same process to stamp the image on the dried water coloured panel. The die cut stalk and leaves were then glued to the panel over top of the stamped image.

I die cut the strip of flower blossoms a number of times from the left-over inked water coloured card, used a bone folder to curl the petals. The flowers were then added to the head of the hydrangea with Mini Glue Dots.

The decorated panel was added to the layer of Flirty Flamingo with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I then wrapped some of the lovely Blushing Bride Snail Mail Twine around the panel and tied a bow. The panel was then added to the Soft Sea Foam card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink, die cut using the sweet tag from the Hydrangea dies. The tag was added to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot. I used the Flirty Flamingo Blends Markers to colour some Basic Pearls and added them to the centre of each small petal cluster to complete the card.

Such a soft and pretty card, I hope you like it.
