A Christmas flower

How is your week going? Mine is very busy, but looking good!

Here is a card I made for my Stampers 6 this month...I'm only showing one because, as usual, I packed them all before photographing them!

I love this colour combo! I have used the Winter Frost papers and punched out the main flower with the Blossom Punch, and cut the middle out following the pattern.

The ribbon is Coastal Cabana Stretch Ruffle Trim and I finished with some Silver Glass Glitter in the centre of the flower. The sentiment is from Pretty Petites.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White, Smoky Slate

Stamp - Petite Pairs

Ink - Basic Gray

Designer Series Paper - Winter Frost

Ribbon - Coastal Cabana Ruffle Stretch Trim

Punch - Blossom Punch

Glitter - Silver Glass Glitter

An embossed get well card

Hello!
I had a little play with a colour combo I have never thought of, thanks to the Colour Throwdown challenge this week :)

I embossed a piece of Pool Party card with my not very often used Houndstooth EF... I really should use this more often!

The flower is from the Flower Shop set, stamped in Night Of Navy, and punched with the Pansy Punch. The Chevron Ribbon is Calypso Coral and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments, stamped in Night Of Navy and cut out using the Word Window Punch. I finished with some silver glass glitter in the middle of the flower for a bit of sparkle.

So what do you think of the colour combo? I think it has a nice, fresh feel to it!

Supplies

Cardstock - Pool Party, Whisper White

Stamps - Flower Shop, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Punches/Dies - Word Window, Pansy Punch, Circles Collection Framelits

Other - Chevron Ribbon, Silver Glass Glitter

New colours and Designer Series Paper

After work yesterday I came home, hoovered, put my little man to bed, then decided I really should get on with some crafting! I haven't really done much over the last week or so, but I have to say, the little break seems to have done me the world of good as I made this card which I am over the moon happy with!

For this card I decided to showcase some of the stunning new colours and products Stampin' Up! have recently released. Isn't Bermuda Bay just gorgeous?! And the new Smoky Slate is so soft! 

I used a sentiment from the Simply Sketched Hostess stamp set, some of the brand new Neutrals Designer Series Paper and the ever lovely Beautiful Wings Embosslits. The upper butterflies are vellum and finished with Silver Glass Glitter and one of the new Candy Dots.

Supplies

Cardstock - Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Vellum

DSP - Neutrals

Stamp - Simply Sketched

Ink - Basic Black

Dies - Beautiful Wings Embosslits

Other - Silver Glass Glitter, Candy Dots
