Hello everybody!
Welcome to my blog. I’m so thrilled to announce that I was asked to join the Colour INKspiration Challenge Crew!!! Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm (AES/DT) a new colour swatch is uploaded to the Colour INKspiration Facebook Group and the Colour INKspiration Crew will upload their projects into the Crew Album for your inspiration at the start of every challenge. Anyone can join the Colour INKspiration Challenge by uploading photos of their projects to the group. Challenge #CI137 is to use Polished Pink, Balmy Blue, Orchid Oasis, Evening Evergreen.
[All supplies used in this project are shown at the end of this post and are linked to my Stampin’ Up! online store. You can purchase them and create this project too! Thank you for your support of my stamping adventure]
Card Details:
- Base: Balmy Blue cardstock
- Front: 2022-2024 In Color DSP and vellum (12 cm x 3″)
- Insert: Shimmery White cardstock (14.35 x 10 cm)
- White heat emboss the long floral image from Framed Florets stamp set onto Shimmery White cardstock. Water colour in the flowers and leaves. Then watercolour the background in Balmy Blue. Let dry and then die cut out with coordinating die from the Framed Florets Dies.
- Die cut out a tea cup using the Teacup Dies from Balmy Blue cardstock. Stamp the other flower image over 2/3 of the tea cup from the Framed Florets stamp set. I stamped off this image first. Then blend some Balmy Blue ink over the bottom and up the sides of the tea cup.
- Die cut some leaves from the Framed Florets Dies from Evening Evergreen cardstock.
- Onto the the top left corner of the Vellum, White heat emboss the sentiment.
- To assemble the card add the DSP to the card front and then adhere the Velum over the top. This softens the DSP. TIP: add Mini Glue dots behind the sentiment by rolling and elongating them and then add more adhesive where the tea cup and flowers will go.
- Put some Tear & Tape adhesive where the teacup and flowers will go and then adhere the Metallic Mesh Ribbon.
- Adhere the flowers to the teacup with Multipurpose Liquid glue and then add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and add to the card front.
- Add the die cut leaves with Mini Glue Dots.
- Finish off by adding some Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels.
To complete the card I stamped the same flowers in Balmy Blue onto the envelope flap. I also heat embossed and watercolored some flowers onto the insert.
