Just Wanted to Say I love you Country Bouquet Vintage Inspired Card. International Smart Stampin Instagram Hop.

 Good Afternoon Everyone,

Today I'm sharing yet another card I made a while back. This time it was for the International Smart Stampin Instagram Hop and our theme was 'Love'. 

I immediately knew I had to use the beautiful Country Bouquet Stamp set. I went for a distressed and vintage look with ripped card and some blending with Crumb Cake ink.

What do you think?




Measurements

Crumb Cake Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

1pc - 5 5/8" x 2 1/2" approx

scrap

Basic White Card Stock

2pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

scraps

Real Red Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 2" approx

--------------------------------------------------------

Take the Crumb Cake card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base.

Ink up the outline heart image in real red ink and cover one of the pieces of Basic White. Lightly add Crumb Cake ink with your blending brush around all the edges of this panel and the remaining piece of basic white.

Add the plain blended card piece to the inside of the card.

On your piece of Crumb Cake stamp the smaller hearts in Crumb Cake. Then Gently rip the right hand edge. 

Also rip the right hand edge of the Real Red piece. 

Layer these pieces together making sure you have a nice strip of Real Red showing beneath the  Crumb Cake. 

Adhere this to the Basic White piece that has been stamped with the Heart. Lining up the left edges so they are flush, then place it on the card front.

Using a Blending Brush, add some Crumb Cake ink to the edges.

On scraps of Basic White stamp the sentiments in Real Red ink and trim.

Then create the heart image, by stamping the two large images one on top of each other to create the full shape.  Ink up the leaves and stems in Crumb Cake and add the flower image directly over the top with Real Red ink. 

Fussy cut around the heart, adhere to a scrap of Crumb Cake and trim around that leaving a nice even border.

Add dimensionals to the back of the Sentiment strips and the heart and then arrange on the card front.

Creative Colour Challenges - #133

 Good Evening Everyone,

As you may or may not know - I run the Creative Colour Challenges blog. Each week three Stampin Up Colours are randomly selected and I ask you to create a projects using those colours! Some week's are easier than others - but what I do find is that there's a lot of inspiration given from those who participate, so I thought that on a Sunday, once I have announced the Winner of the Week's Challenge over on Creative Colour Challenges Blog, I'd hop on over here and share the entries with you in the hope that we can give everyone some more inspiration, and I will link to those I can (as anyone can enter, you don't have to have a blog or a website), so It's also my chance to share there work and show some support.

I do hope to continue this as long as possible, with the entry numbers as they are now, this is something I'm happy to work on, but if by some amazing force,  the numbers grow in strength I may have to reassess how I do this!

Sentimental Park Thank you Card. Inspire Create Challenges #163 Colour Challenge

 Good Afternoon Everyone,

Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing a card I've made for the current Inspire Create Challenge - #163 which is a colour challenge. I love this combination of Pretty Peacock, Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Freesia.

I've used lots of layer to create my background interested and added the detailed die cut and sentiment from the Sentimental Park bundle to create my focal point.

What do you think?





Measurements

Pretty Peacock Card Stock

1pc - 5 7/8" x 8 1/4" scored at 4 1/8"

1pc - scrap

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

1pc - 4 3/8" x 3"

1pc - scrap

Lemon Lime Twist Card Stock

1pc - 5 1/2" x 3 3/4"

Fresh Freesia Card Stock

1pc - 5" x 3 5/8"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Take the Pretty Peacock card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding the larger piece of Basic White to the inside. 

On the smaller piece of Basic White stamp the flower all over in Fresh Freesia ink. I used 1st Generation for the outline and 2nd Generation (stamped off once) for the solid in fill to create a slightly lighter tone. 

Also stamp out two flowers on a scrap of Basic White. I chose to fussy cut these as I didn't want a white edge around them, but you could use the coordinating die if you would prefer.

Layer this piece along with the Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Freesia card stock onto the front of the card, offsetting the pieces and making then a little wonky.

Bring in your Mini Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out the Detailed Label in Pretty Peacock and the straight label in Basic White.

Stamp the sentiment into the centre of the Basic White die cut and then layer this to the detailed die cut. If you look closely to the detailed piece, there's two 'slits' where you can tuck the white piece into.

Add dimensionals to the back and place into the centre of the card front.

Pop a Rhinestone into the centre of the two fussy cut flowers and add these to the sentiment panel.

I really enjoyed playing around with this colour combination. If you would like more details on how the challenge works, have a project to enter or would just like to see some more inspiration from the Design Team and other participants - then head over to the Inspire Create Challenge Blog
