Tuesday Challenge #7

Hi everyone, it is the 7th week of my 'Tuesday Challenge' to use a stamp set and other goodies from the Annual Catalogue to create a card or other project.

I have used the Rooted in Nature stamp set with the coordinating Nature's Roots Framelits.  I added a few extra bits of foliage from the Sweet Cake Framelits and the sentiment was created using the Stitched Label Framelits with the 'Happy Birthday' from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.

The card base is Crumb Cake with the next layer being a piece of Crumb Cake that I cut out using one of the Rectangle Stitched Framelits.  I then cut out the centre rectangle from this also using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits, this is the piece that I did the floral arrangement on.  I then put the larger piece through the Tin Tile Embossing Folder and then swiped the White Craft ink pad over it until I was happy with the finished look.  I arranged all the floral elements on the small rectangle and then adhere this in place using dimensionals.

I love the added touch of copper from the Leaves Trinkets, Copper Trim and Sequins.

Tuesday Challenge #7

Happy Birthday

I pondered a while on what background to use for my card and decided on the Gray Granite woodgrain patterned paper from the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper pack.  The Gray Granite teamed perfectly with the Highland Heather, Basic Black and Whisper White colour scheme that I had in mind.

I have used several stamp sets and framelits/thinlit sets in making my card:

• Rooted in Nature stamp set
• Beautiful Bouquet stamp set
• Nature's Roots Framelits Dies
• Sweet Cake Framelits
• Stitched Labels Framelits
• Stitched Shaped Framelits

The silver leaves from the Leaves Trinkets add a little dimension to the floral spray behind the sentiment panel.

Needing a Little Inspiration

I cased myself for this card.  I was in need of a little inspiration and I just love the colour combination of Gray Granite, Highland Heather, Whisper White and Basic Black so I used the floral spray I created on a previous card.

I have used a two stamp sets and several framelit sets in making my card.

•  Rooted in Nature stamp set
•  Nature's Roots Framelits
•  Stitched Labels Framelits
•  Sweet Cake Framelits
•  Detailed with Love stamp set

The card sketch is one that found on Pinterest a while ago and had put in my ideas book.  This is a great layout as it uses 2" strips of Designer Series Paper, so you can get 12 cards from one 12" x 12" sheet of paper.

Needing a Little Inspiration

Polished Stone

I had a play with the 'Polished Stone' Technique today using the colours of Soft Suede and Balmy Blue.

I love the finished effect but found it a bit overwhelming to use the entire piece as a card front.  I cut it down to a 10.5cm x 5.5cm piece for the top of my card.  A strip of Champagne Foil Sheet was added beneath this. 

The centre panel, matted onto a piece of Champagne Foil Sheet, was stamped with Soft Suede and Crumb Cake ink.  The leaf spaying was made by stamping the leaves in Soft Suede and die cutting, a Champagne Foil embossed leaf with one of the Leaves Trinkets and a Linen Thread bow added to finish.
