Beautiful Blooms

This is another card that started out as testing some stamps, I love the leaves in the Beautiful Blooms set by PTI, I also like the fact that they come with a few different overlay stamps that can also be used on their own too.

I started by stamping the leaves in different direction from each of the corners of the card then used the dotted overlay stamp in a darker shade of the green to highlight the leaves. I then started adding the blooms by stamping the solid shape in lemon chalk ink then added the ouline blooms in a perlescent orange shade.

I made a focal point by stamping the largest of the blooms on a seperate piece of white card stock and added the individual leaves around it, I then added glossy accents to the bloom and matted and layered onto white and matching green card tying a lemon grosgrain ribbon between the layers.

Remember When... (Too much) Time at the Bar

May Blog Hop - Decorative Score Lines

I used a square 6" x 6" tent folded card and using the Scor-Pal I placed the top corner of the card into the 4" score line I then scored diagonally to the opposite corner and then scored at every inch score line until I had completed half of the card in a triangle shape, I then repeated the scoring from the other top corner.

I used the Wedding Day and the Boxes, Bags and Tags Stamp sets by Papertrey Ink to stamp the card using the Sweet Blush ink. I cut a scalloped circle from the Sweet Blush card stock and A plain circle from the Basic White card stock and stamped these using the above stamp sets.

I finished the card by adding some pale pink pearls and a white net ribbon.

Loving to Stamp

Do you know the time when you are on your own everything is peaceful and no-one around to disturb you? well this is what I love to do with my spare quiet time, create a card for no-one in particular just with ink and stamps building up an image untill I get the look I want.
This stamp set is perfect for that, it is Spiral Bouquet by PTI I love the cleaness of the stamps in this set.
