I've shared my first make for the June issue of Craft Stamper magazine and here is the second. The Stampin Up set Beautiful Day is just a small set with BIG WOW. It is home to the beautiful butterfly you've seen in so many places and also this stunning flower and a couple of simple sentiments. I've shortened one to make mine having stamped it and then cut the words I wanted to use free hand.
The design itself started with the flower being embossed with copper embossing powder and then coloured with the Stampin Up Blends. Sadly these are currently unavailable to purchase as the demand was so high we simply ran out and so are waiting for more from the manufacturer, but I wanted to share my design as I was so delighted with it. To add a little more definition I also stamped a spare flower onto a spare piece of card ie thick whisper white which is perfect for use with alcohol markers like the Stampin Up Blends. I embossed and coloured it in the same way and fussy cut it out and then added it to the design using Stampin dimensionals just to lift it and also off set it slightly from the main card. To finish off I colour washed the remaining space and added the sentiment.
I love Craft Stamper magazine not only because I was asked again to design for an article featuring Stampin' Up!, but also as it is such a good read and full of useful techniques and information.
I'm also delighted that this stamp set will remain in the Stampin' Up! new annual catalogue. It's inexpensive, but as I've already said big on the Wow factor. I hope you like it too....
You can contact me to request a copy of the new Stampin' Up! catalogue by emailing me at zoetant@live.co.uk
Thanks for stopping by and one last reminder that the retiring list from Stampin' Up! will disappear on 31 May so don't miss out on those last minute wish list items or you'll be very sad.
more soon
