Birthday Blooms

Hi everyone,

I have looked and looked at the stamp set Beautiful Blooms, loving it each time I turn to it in the annual catalogue.  I have no idea why I hadn't bought it earlier!

But now I have it and it was the set I turned to when another colour challenge came up recently.

The colours reminded me of gelato!!



Thinking cap on, Beautiful Blooms at the ready and I got to work!
 
  I stamped the bloom and then water coloured the image using the aqua painter and inks to colour it.


 

I wanted to "ground" the image so I used a stencil and blended Lemon Lime Twist and Bermuda Bay as I went to give a type of trellis look. I then raised the bloom on foam dimensionals.

The card was mounted on Sweet sugarplum after  adding a sentiment from the beautiful scripted sentiments included in the set, using Soft suede (which I had also used in the leaves).


I doesn't really show here, but the bloom was finished off with a Wink of Stella that really gave it a nice sheen (ok, it was the bling I love to add!!)


This stamp set does not disappoint.  You can easily make beautiful cards for any occasion.  Get yours now by clicking on my shop link and get making beautiful Birthday Blooms!

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Wendy Cranford

Welcome! This week we have another exciting blog hop with Wendy Cranford from Luvinstampin.com. I really enjoyed looking through her blog finding a project that I was going to CASE (copy and selectively edit). The project I chose was this one: I was taken with the colour blending and the use of the die cut over it. I decided to use a watercolour wash for my colour blending.  I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay, and Soft Sea Foam.   The beautiful die cut is from the Lovely Flowers edgelits, which I put over the top allowing some of the watercolour wash to peek through. I finished it off with some Bermuda Bay ribbon and a sentiment form the Incredible Like You stamp set.  I love these colours but just think how many other colourways you could do this card! Give it a try! But before you do, hop on over to the next blog and see what my fellow Crazy Crafters have designed this week.

Kylie's Demonstrator training February Blog Hop.

Thank you for joining us for our Demonstrator Training Blog Hop this month! We are all part of a training program that has the sole purpose of improving our Stampin' Up!® businesses and to learn from a variety of top Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world. Please be sure to 'HOP' all of the way around to all of the projects on this Blog Hop, there is a list at the bottom of the page that will help you to make your way around. Today I wanted to challenge myself to try something a  bit different by showing the versatility of any stamp set - even if it only has a few images - and do three cards  with either different techniques or use the stamp in a different way.  Maybe even look at the stamps in the set and see what else I can do with them. I thought this would be a good way to show someone, that may be interested in a particular set, or trying to decide, or thinking a particular set didn't do very much, to think again and see the possibilities....
