Get Well Wishes card – Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop where we have a colour combo to inspire us. I have a made a get-well card for a poorly friend.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the get well wishes card using the following supplies:

Pretty In Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Azure Afternoon – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

I stamped the two birds with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card. I also stamped the birds on Post It Notes, cut them out and placed them over the stamped birds to act as masks,

With the masks in place, I stamped the branches with Pecan Pie ink. The masks were then removed and the leaves added in Granny Apple Green ink.

I used the following Blends Pens to add colour to the birds – Pretty In Pink, Darling Duckling, Azure Afternoon and Granny Apple Green.

The sentiment, from the Friendly Foliage stamp set was stamped at the bottom of the panel with Azure Afternoon ink. I added the same ink around the image using a Blending Brush. The whole panel was then glued to the Azure Afternoon panel. The whole piece was then mounted onto the Pretty In Pink card front on Dimensionals.

Beautiful Halloween – Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamper’s Showcase blog hop. My name is Mo Rootes and I live outside Cambridge in the UK. Our theme this month is Fall/Autumn/Halloween – such a great choice. I have opted to make a beautiful Halloween card using the Life is Beautiful stamp set.

To recreate the Beautiful Halloween card you will need;

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Mango Melody – 5½ ” by 2¾” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 2⅝” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap strips of Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight & Rich Razzelberry

Using the Stamparatus I stamped the tree image from the Life is Beautiful in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I actually stamped it 3 times to get a good dark image.

I used a blending brush – you could use sponges – to apply ink to the smaller Whisper White panel. I started with Daffodil Delight at the bottom, moved on to Mango Melody then Rich Razzelberry. I finished by adding Misty Moonlight across the top and around the edges to darken in up.

The shrubs from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set were added in Memento Tuxedo Black as was the ground from the Life is Beautiful Stamp set. I didn’t have any bats the right size so added the birds from the Sailing Home stamp set in the same ink

The stamped panel was glued to the Mango Melody with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using my lovely Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine I embossed the Basic Black card front using the Old World Paper Embossing Folder. I love this folder……..

I added a flag of Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzelberry  to the back of the stamped panel before adding the layer to the card front. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set was stamped  in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a strip of Mango Melody  card and added to the card front. To finish I added a trio of Holiday Rhinestones.
