18 (Breathtaking Bouquet)

Hi everyone, when my niece turned 18 last month, I had been busy creating a card for the Stampers Anonymous Colour Challenge.  I realised that the colours for the challenge were similar to the kinds of colours Abbey loves.  I decided to work with my original design but change it up a little so that it was perfect for her.  Regular readers might recognise that I have created a couple of similar cards using this technique.  You can see them here and here.

For this card, I used Seaside Spray, Purple Posy and Melon Mambo.  Now, Melon Mambo is by far the most dominant of the three colours so you need only use a little bit.  I didn’t add much at all and you can see that it has definitely dominated the card.  In fact, I actually made the background twice as the first time it ended up completely pink which wasn’t the effect I was looking for.

I embossed the Breathtaking Bouquet image over my watercoloured piece.  When stamping such a large image, and especially on stamping on a textured cardstock like watercolour paper, I always use the Stamparatus.  This way if the image doesn’t stamp properly you can re-ink and re-stamp as many times as necessary.  This time I added Silver embossing powder to the image and it looks sooooo pretty!  I finished off the card with silver die-cut numbers (unfortunately, these dies are no longer available).

Here’s the card…

 

This card is SO much prettier in real life!  It is difficult (for me) to take photographs of shimmery, shiny cards.  And if you were wondering, Abbey LOVED the card and she had a wonderful 18th birthday!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day!

BirthdaysBloom & GrowBreathtaking BouquetSending Your Thoughts

Happy Birthday (Bloom & Grow / Sending You Thoughts / Breathtaking Bouquet)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a simple card created with the Bloom & Grow, Breathtaking Bouquet and Sending You Thoughts stamp sets.  Whilst the Bloom & Grow stamp set does have some lovely sentiments in addition to the gorgeous floral image, I wanted a simple “Happy Birthday” which is why I reached for the Sending You Thoughts stamp set.  I recently decided I was going to send birthday cards to everyone in the Stampers Anonymous team so I need to make quite a few birthday cards.  I created my own background paper by using Versamark, and the Breathtaking Bouquet stamp set.  You could also use an ink the same colour as your cardstock however I find the Versamark gives a softer appearance.

Here’s the card…

 

Despite the fact I used three different stamp sets, it was actually a really simple card to create.  The design is also really simple and one you could change up a bit.  You could have the blue section at the bottom and the sentiment at the top.  Or you could have the blue section on the side and the white bit with the sentiment on the right side and have the card open this way.  Such a versatile design.  I hope you will give it a try!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day!

Hi everyone, for the recent Stampers Anonymous Team Blog Hop, we had a challenge to use Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy only (with Whisper White, Very Vanilla, and Basic Black).  At first, I found it really difficult to come up with an idea but then I was struck by the idea to create a really pretty watercolour background.  After I finished my card which you can see here, I thought it might be fun to see how the card would look with Basic Black rather than Whisper White.

Here’s the card…

 

It is so pretty, isn’t it?!  I think it would look so good with brighter colours too.  My big tip for this card is that I used my Stamparatus as I really wanted a crisp black look.  The texture of the Watercolour paper is a little rough so I need to repeat stamp the image a few times and the Stamparatus ensured I was stamping in the same place every time.  I then cleaned my stamp and added a layer of Versamark so I could add clear embossing powder to get a pretty black embossed look.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day!

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 15: Colour Challenge

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day!  Thanks so much for hopping with us.  The theme for today’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge.  We had to use Purple Posy, Seaside Spray, and Rococo Rose on our project.  We could also add Whisper White, Basic Black or Very Vanilla as our neutral.

Here’s our Challenge…

When the colours were first announced I was stumped.  I had absolutely no idea which way to go.  While the colours themselves are all gorgeous, it isn’t a colour combination I would have chosen for myself.  I guess this challenge just goes to support why I take part in them – they *challenge* you to think about things in a different way, and step out of your norm.

Here’s my card…

 

I have to say I am so pleased with how this card turned out.  I would never have thought to combine these colours in such a way and yet, look how pretty they look together!  Now, I want to try and recreate this card but use black in place of the white stamping.  How cool is that?!  From stumped to inspired!  My big tip for creating card like this is to be aware of which colours are most dominant and likely to take over from the others.  For this card, the Rococo Rose is the dominant colour so I only put a little bit down compared with the other two colours.

Let’s continue on the hop…
