A Flourishing Note – GDP #045

Rosanne July 19, 2016 July 19, 2016Cards

The Global Design Project’s challenge this week is a bold and bright color challenge….

My card for this challenge is a clean and simple notecard.

The card base is Smoky Slate with a mat of Basic Black and Whisper White. The sentiment and flower are from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set.

The flower is stamped twice in Melon Mambo. I cut the second flower to create a layered bloom and popped each layer with dimensionals. An enamel dot is added to the center. The black panel was created by adding a strip of Basic Black ribbon (retired) and then topping it with a die cut from the Flourish Thinlits.

Since this is a notecard, I left the inside blank but added the same die cut from the Flourish Thinlits.

Thanks very much for checking in on my project today.

Take care,

Rosanne

Celebrate Your Day – PPA #309

Today’s card is my entry in the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge. What I especially like about color challenges is that they are often color combinations that I would never think of myself but they always look beautiful together. This one is no exception….

This card is pulling double duty as I will be sending it to my sister for her birthday this weekend.

The card size is 5″ x 5″. I don’t make square cards that often but really enjoy it when I do. The card base is Island Indigo with a mat of Sahara Sand Designer Series Paper. Before I adhered the DSP layer to the card base, I cut a scalloped circle from the Layering Circles framelits in the center. Then cut the next larger scalloped circle in Island Indigo and glued it to create a frame. I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Designer Tin of Cards stamp set, in Island Indigo ink on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and centered it in the cut circle. Then I glued the DSP over the sentiment.

The flowers are from the Birthday Blooms stamp set, which is still my favorite set in the catalog! They are stamped in Basic Black ink and colored in using Daffodil Delight and Sweet Sugarplum markers. Although it’s only evident on the flower to the left, all the flowers have that Wink of Stella on them. They actually look quite lovely in person. I popped each of them up with dimensionals and then added a few matching, though not SU, sequins.

The inside sentiment is also from the Birthday Blooms set.

I cheated a bit on the envelope. It’s one I had laying around and was just the perfect size. The front is embellished with another stamp from the Birthday Blooms set and the back flap with a little piece of DSP.

Again, this is not a color combination that I would have put together myself but it is absolutely lovely. I hope you enjoyed these colors and card. Thanks very much for stopping by.

Take care,

Gift of Love – FMS #245

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful summer weekend. It’s been very hot here in PA but I do love summer so you won’t hear me complaining…as long as it’s summer, I don’t care what the weather is!

Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge…..

This is such a straightforward sketch and that’s pretty much my interpretation of it.

The card base is Whisper White Thick cardstock with a mat of Sweet Sugarplum and a pattern from the Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper Pack. The ribbon is Basic Black 3/8″ satin stitched ribbon which is retired.

The stamp set is the Hostess set, Gift of Love. I’m not sure but I think the flowers are Gladiolus. I hope they are because they are one of my favorite flowers. They are stamped in Basic Black and colored with Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Markers. The sentiment is cut out using the banner die from the Large Numbers framelits. I matted the image on Basic Black and Blushing Bride cardstock. A few little black sequins finish the image off.

The inside sentiment is also from the Gift of Love stamp set. The font is really so pretty. This set is very versatile and can be used for so many different occasions. This is one of the few times that I only used one stamp set for the entire card. I think I may have to challenge myself to do this more often. It will be a challenge within a challenge.

Thanks very much for stopping by today and please come back again soon.

Take care,

Rosanne

Hands down….one of my favorite bundles in the new catalog is the Jar of Love stamp set and Everyday Jars framelits. So when I saw the Can You Case It #126 Favorite Die challenge, I know which die I would use. I coupled this card with The Paper Players #301 Sketch challenge.

Here is my card for the two challenges…

The card base is Whisper White thick cardstock with a mat from the Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper Pack.

The sweet little squatty jar is framed using the Lots of Labels framelits in Whisper White and Flirty Flamingo. The jar is stamped in Dapper Denim on blue vellum paper and cut using the Everyday Jars framelits. I stamped the leaves in Emerald Envy directly onto the Label using a jar mask. The flowers are stamped in Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo with a pearl center. A simple baker’s twine bow in Blushing Bride finishes it off.

The sentiment is from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set and is stamped in Flirty Flamingo and punched using the coordinating Duet Banner punch. I popped this up with dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is from the Layering Love stamp set and stamped in Flirty Flamingo. The little flower is actually covering up an ink smudge but don’t tell!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a Happy Day!

Take care,

Rosanne
