Pleasant Poppies and the New Blendabilities

Today I have an A5 card to show you made with the background stamp, Pleasant Poppies, and the new SU Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities. I started by stamping the image in black Memento ink onto Whisper White cardstock then used the three Blendabilities pens to colour in the flowers. The stems were coloured using the new 'In Colour' Mossy Meadow marker pen. The panel was matted onto Cherry Cobbler cardstock with a piece of knotted Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon tied around before matting onto the A5 card blank.
I finished the card with a sentiment from Work of Art (another new stamp set available on 1st July). I love the new Blendabilities and look forward to getting some of the other colours - I do find 'colouring in' very therapeutic!

Pleasant Poppies

The LIM challenge today is a card with flowers and I have two cards to show you, made from one background stamp, Pleasant Poppies.
I started by inking the large background stamp with Real Red and Pear Pizzazz markers, stamped onto white cardstock, then coloured the image in using a blender pen. (The whole stamped image is shown top right). I then cut of the panel of three poppies on the right of the image to make my second cut. For the card above I used the Circle Framelits to cut out the image and this was matted onto a larger circle of white cardstock. After fixing to the card blank I did a spot of paper piercing just on the left side of the circles. A sentiment from Simply Sketched and a butterfly from Papillon Potpourri were added.

For the second card I took the panel which had been cut from the large stamped image, matted it onto Real Red and added a sentiment from Four You. Two Basic Rhinestones were added to the banner and job done!!


Have a great weekend, enjoy the sunshine and I'll be back soon

More Poppies

Back again with the Pleasant Poppies background stamp, this time stamped onto a piece of the First Edition Specialty DSP. Firstly it was stamped with Staz-on and then coloured with a blender pen using Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive. The stamped DSP was matted onto Pumpkin Pie cardstock and fixed to a Neutrals Ivory card blank.
A strip of Pumpkin Pie was punched with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch and this was placed across the card before adding a sentiment, punched with the Oval Punch and matted onto a Scallop Oval.
This was a fairly quick card to make and a good card to make if, like me, you find 'colouring-in' therapeutic :0)
Pop back tomorrow to see another quick and easy card which I made for my Mum to give to my nephew on his birthday.

Spotlighting

I bought the Pleasant Poppies background stamp a few weeks ago and have only just got round to using it! I have seen this technique all over blogland and was wanting to have a go so here is my attempt.
I stamped the poppies onto Whisper White using Staz-on and then again on a smaller piece of cardstock. The image was coloured with a blender pen using Raspberry Ripple and Old Olive inks before punching out with the largest circle punch. The larger panel was matted onto Raspberry Ripple cardstock and I added some Stitched Satin Ribbon tied in a knot before placing on a white card blank. The coloured circle was fixed in place with dimensionals and a sentiment added.
I have another design to show you tomorrow using the same stamp so do pop back and take a look.
