Singled colour Lotus Blossom

Good morning all!

As promised on Wednesday, here is the final card we made at my craft class last Friday...

We used the gorgeous free Sale-A-Bration Lotus Blossom stamp for this one, and also did it in two colourways.

These are made in Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana, with a Pear Pizazz stem.

To get the lovely shading in the flowers, I actually used the stamps in the reverse order to the recommended. (each of the 3 stamps has a number order in which to use it printed in the packaging).

I inked up and stamped off stamped the number 3 stamp first (the full flower), then stamped it in place on my card. I then used number 2, then number 1 and got this lovely subtle tone on tone effect, with one ink cartridge. 

Which colour is your favourite? The jury's out on this one for me!

To get your free stamp, simply spend £45 on Stampin' Up! products with me, and you can choose from this, or lots of other gorgeous products! Check out my online shop link in the sidebar >>>>

So I have a girly weekend with som very good friends this weekend, so I may not be around much...it depends how much crafting I get done tonight! I hope you have a fun weekend planned too! Have a good one! :)

A card made from freebies!

Good morning crafty peeps!

I hope you're having a good week so far...I spent the day yesterday decorating my living room, and refreshing walls and paintwork throughout the rest of the house. I still have a lot of glossing to do, but I will get there slowly but surely! 

I do have a card to share with you today though...

I have used the lovely new Lotus Blossom stamp that I got free for spending £45 in Sale-A-Bration! I stamped it in Rose Red, Primrose Petals and Pink Pirouette, starting with the darkest colour. This is a 3 step stamp, and it is available in Polymer so it is really easy to line each part up!

Have you seen that gorgeous Irresistibly Yours DSP in the background? Well guess what? That is free too! It is a beautiful, white, embossed, thick paper, and there are 6 different designs, including stripes, stars and polka dots. It is perfect for sponging, as I have done here, or spritzing, or any other different styles of colouring. It is basically the emboss resist technique made easy!

I mentioned that I got the stamp and paper free? That is because it is currently our Sale-A-Bration promotion, and you can choose any product from the brochure free £45 spend! That means if you spend £90, you get 2 free items! And there are lots of lovely things to choose from, including and embellishment kit and even Blendabilities!! Yes, you can get all the Blendabilities absolutely free! (I am currently working on getting them all!)

If you would like to get your freebies, or would like any more information, feel free to get in touch, or use the links on my sidebar >>>>>

Right, I'm off to work, then I may try a spot more painting....or maybe crafting.... ;)

Have a lovely day!
