To recreate the puffin birthday card, you will need:

Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Design a Daydream dsp – 5½” by 3¾”

Pot of Daisies for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge and I have chosen to make a pot of daisies card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pot of daisies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Friendly Hello dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅞” by ⅜”

Next, I added Pale Papaya ink to the small panel of Basic White using a Blending Brush. I had tried a panel of Pale Papaya but the colour was too bright and I wanted something more muted. However, I felt the inked panel was to wishy-washy so I ended up stamping the group of daisies across the inked panel in 2nd generation Pale Papaya ink. I liked this as it gave the subtle texture I was looking for. The panel was then adhered above the dsp panel leaving about ¼” between the two pieces. The strip of Mossy Meadow card was adhered down to cover the edges of both the dsp and the inked panel.

The flowerpot from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Mossy Meadow ink and the group of daisies added in Basic Gray ink.  I used the Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the daisies and So Saffron for the flower centres.

I used the following dark Blends Markers – Magenta Madness, Blackberry Bliss, Night of Navy and Fresh Freesia to scribble blocks of colour onto the Vellum. I dipped an almost empty Clear Wink of Stella Brush to splatter and dab 90% alcohol onto the Vellum allowing the ink to spread and pool. The panel was then set aside to dry.

When the Vellum was dry, I trimmed off ¼” from the side and the bottom to decorate the inside panel and the envelope. The Vellum was then added to one the Basic White panels using tiny dabs of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The panel was then added to the Basic Black panel using the same liquid glue. I used Dimensionals to add the panel to the Magenta Madness card base.

The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool. I flagged the end and added the sentiment to the card front with liquid glue.

I love this card; The colours work so well together and I especially love the slight sparkle the Clear Wink of Stella has given to the Vellum. So pretty.

Eden’s Garden

Today I am sharing a pretty card made using an early release bundle called Eden’s Garden. This bundle includes the Eden’s Garden stamp set and Eden Dies. This is bundle will be available in the January to June mini catalogue but the accompanying Ever Eden dsp, cotton paper and Garden Gems are only available whilst supplies last and will not be in the new catalogue.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Eden’s Garden card, you will need:

Basic White card Base – 11¾” by 4⅛” scored at 5⅞” – Rounded upper left corner
Coastal Cabana card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” – Rounded upper left corner
Gold Foil – 4” by 1½”

Using the large foliage image, I stamped randomly all over the small panel of Basic White in Coastal Cabana ink.
