Memorable blooms sneak peak 4

Another Memorable Blooms sneak peak.  This card will be one we make in class this month!

Intricate dies, like this flower look stunning in black with a splash of colour in the background.  A great technique for masking and sponging and with a bit of texture with the Element of Text which fits perfectly in the octagon shaped window.  The flowers really pop and stand out on the sponged masked background.

Painted Trees embossing folder

Todays card is a quick simple card using a new range of papers from Stampin Up - they have introduced some two-toned cardstock and the colour used here is Garden Green. I have cut a base and the top layer out of the the garden green. For the base I used the darker side and top layer the lighter side. The two tones are very elegant with a white layer in between. I have run the light garden green through the Painted Trees 3D embossing folder. I then used sponge daubers to apply ink to the raised trees with granny apple green, old olive, garden green and shaded spruce. To accentuate the trees I’ve added some Wink of Stella to the raised trees. 

Products used:-

Paper: garden green two-tone cardstock 

Ink:  shaded spruce, garden green, old olive, granny apple green

Tools: painted trees 3D embossing folder, sponge daubers, wink of Stella 

Another Decorative Trees CASE

I'm having so much fun playing with the Decorative Trees stamp set and today I have another CASE.  Todays card was inspired by Vicki Boucher and you can see her card here.  

 My card starts with a basic white base and a pretty peacock layer which is stamped with drizzling droplets in whisper white craft ink.  I have die cut the trees from the decorative trees dies and stamped the focal image in pool party (the outline image) and pretty peacock.  Happy Christmas is inked and die cut in pretty peacock.  

Decorative Tree - technique case - inlay technique

Todays card is a CASE.  I saw a card from Lou Kitzelman that I just loved and knew I had to try the technique with the Decorative Tree dies.  I am so happy I did, the technique suits this tree so well.  You can see Lou's card here.
