SC243 - Framed Daisy

I stamped the main image twice, once with Pacific Point and Kiwi Kiss and then cut out the pieces I wanted to highlight.  I raised the border and flower on dimensionals so the image resembled a frame and the flower head to give the card a 3D appearance.  Punched the borders, attached the mats, crystals and ribbon and it was done.

Stamps: Artee Bordered Flower 1

Card: Whisper White, Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Good Morning Sunshine DP

Ink: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss

Accessories: EK Success Border Punch, Crystals, Fine Glitter, Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon, Dimensionals

Splitcoast Card Sketch SC232

Another one for today, just catching up with my challenge post's. Can't make up my mind on a sentiment for this one, so I will complete it when I know who is going to receive it. (Does anyone else have this issue when they make a card?) Had some fun with this sketch, tried to add another colour but kept coming back to the Gold and Black, which I like.


I stamped the Kimono on the gold metallic card and then embossed with black. The embossing on the Kimono is shiny and the rest of the black card is matt, so it stands out. the strips at the top and bottom of the card are the scraps from punching the Scalloped Edge.

Stamps: SU Calming Garden, Kimono both retired sets
Card: Black, Metallic Gold
Ink: Versarmark
Accessories: Gold EP, Black EP, Cuttlebug, Provo Craft Vintage Borders, SU Corner Rounder Punch, SU Scallop Edge Punch, Dimensionals

SC231 Purple Coneflower

Hi there,

I have been busy organising my shorter length's of cut ribbon, with the Ribbon Ring Tags from Pink Hedgehog. It certainly makes a difference, it is so easy to see what I have and use the ribbons for my projects. I previously had them filed in draws and boxes, mind you it took me four days to complete the task, with other cleaning and chores thrown in. Besides creating some order in my stamping room I have also made a few cards. This one is for last weeks Splitcoast Card Sketch SC231.



Stamps: Inspired by Nature, Sanded BG
Card: Old Olive, Regal Rose, Whisper White
Ink: Certainly Celery, Regal Rose, Close to Cocoa, Lovely Lilac, Always Artichoke, Old Olive Markers
Accessories: Small & Large Oval Punches, Pearls, Old Olive Ribbon, Computer to generate Sentiment

Hope you like it!

I am catching up on some challenges that I needed to post. I stamped the Hunny Bunny image from Whipper Snapper Designs three times for these cards, it just happened that it suited all three layout's so I created them in similar colours and applied different elements.
