Vellum Poppies

For this challenge I pulled out my Poppy Moments and Simon Says Keep Smiling die sets. Here is the sketch for the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 539.



Wanting to use whites & vellum with my die set, this is the color palette I chose.


After looking through my papers, I couldn’t find anything with multiple blues that was light enough, so I went with a simple patterned powder blue and cut a mat to go with the white slimline card base I made. Next I die cut the outside of the poppies from white, the backs from vellum, and the centers from black cardstock. I also cut 2 sets of the sentiment & glued them together to give it some depth.



I attached the powder blue mat to the base & added a row of lace washi tape. After attaching the flowers and sentiment, I added some opal sequins to finish it off.

I’ll also enter this in the Simon Says: Anything Goes and The House That Stamps Built - Anything Goes Challenge ~ A2821 challenges.


Thanks for stopping by!

Hydrangea Highlight

The second card I made today was specifically for the  Altenew March 2022 Inspiration Challenge , although I used Colorado Craft Company stamp for it. I had pulled out their Big Hydrangea stamp set to use a sentiment from it so just used the hydrangea part for this. Here is the inspiration picture from Altenew. I went with the colors for this card, as close as I could get, and did a sort of color blocking effect. I’ve seen it before on other cards and thought it looked nice and easy. I started by stamping the hydrangea in black ink on a 4-1/4” x 6” piece of white cardstock. After masking off the edges with low tack tape (I actually used blue painters tape) I masked off the bottom third of the center and blended on Distress Oxide Peeled Paint, masked off the middle portion and used DO Mustard Seed, and used DO Milled Lavender on the top. Using a script Happy Birthday die, I cut it 3 times in white and once in black. After gluing all 3 white pieces together I glued the black piece on th

Candy Cane Deluxe

For the  Simon Says: Food and/or Drink challenge , one of the examples had a candy cane , so I thought I’d use some too. I just got a pine tree frame die & it would be perfect for that. I could make it look like a tree with candy canes & an ornament. Here’s how it turned out: I used my Cricut to cut the candy canes, ornament, some extra pine sprigs, & the Merry Christmas. The frame was die cut, and I used a scrap of green print cardstock for the backing. I embossed the Merry Christmas in black, then put everything together on a green card base. Thanks for stopping by!

Red & White

Image
For the  Simon Says: Red White and/or Blue challenge I decided to stick with red & white since I saw this card that I wanted to use for my inspiration, using white instead of gold. I used Distress Oxide Black Soot to blend around the edges, since it’s an ink that blends easily. I used the Gina K Holiday Tapestry stamp for the background, the label is from the Stampin’ Up Painted Labels die set, and the sentiment from the Colorado Crafts Big Hydrangea set. It’s not as elegant, but did turn out pretty, didn’t it? I’m also going to enter it in the The House That Stamps Built Theme Challenge J3021 ~ Red, White and Blue and the Simon Says: Anything Goes challenge. Thanks for stopping by! Sandy
