In Bloom

In Bloom stamp set by Papertrey Ink, I love how this has come together.

A bit of sponging, a bit of water colouring and a bit of matting and layering.

Of Course once I'd finished one then I couldn't stop and had to make another.

Shooting Star - Congratulations Card

I thought I would end showcasing the stamp set that I will be adding as blog candy tomorrow by giving a variation on the Baby thank you cards that I made, my reasoning behind this is that I also want to give the cards that I have made with the stamp set away too and as the first I made were for baby Jack thank you cards I couldn't add this to the prize.

please come back tomorrow for the chance to win this fabulous set.

Attention to Detail...

I used the wording to make the star look like a shooting star. because the polymer stamps are flexible it allows you to manipulate the stamp in this instant I curved the wording stamp

Visa-Versa Card

Another card showcasing the stamp set that I will be giving away this week, I hope you are following all of this ha ha ha.

I started this by playing with colours and being unsure which one to use, I stamped out the flowers and build them up then couldn't decided which one to use, I got out the plum card and folded it into a base card, still very unsure that I would use it, I then reached for the pink and placed it on top of the plum to place the flowers on top to see which colour would work best, so there is was... they both worked so I combined the two.

Attention to detail...

The flowers were stamped 4 times in each colour then cut out in layers stuck on layer on top of the other using foam pads then added a pearl for the middle of the flower.

The ribbon was a length of each colour folded in half one looped through the other one and pulled across the card then securely fastened with tape one the inside of the card, as the base card is plum coloured I cut out a piece of the pink and covered the taped ribbon inside.

Welcome Little One...

This is the 4th card from Papertrey Ink exclusive Everyday Classics Stamp Set, I hope you are seeing the endless possibilities that this set gives.

This time in aqua and chocolate colours a Welcome Little One.

The larger bird was stamped then an oval Nestabilitie die was used to cut out the image, I punched 2 small holes at the top of the oval and tied and bowed a ribbon through the holes.

Attention to detail... As you can see from this image I stamped an extra wing for the larger bird cut around it and used a foam pad to make it pop.
