Happy Birthday Stampin' Up! Mixture

Stampin' Up! Boutique Blossom meets Oh Hello

 

This is a concoction of stamp sets from Stampin' Up! and colours.  Oh Hello is a set I've admired for some time and have only really started to use very recently.  I've used the colours that are coming with a new product that you might spy on this card.  My sentiment is new too and the flower you may remember from this stampingscene post which can be bought as a single stamp in clear mount.  It's called Boutique Blossom and it's available until the end of August.  It's big and bold and is easy for cutting out and then mounting the stamens from the centre onto the flower base.  

This is a bright card that's for my friend Sammy.  She loves butterflies and so I just had to add one which is silver glimmer paper coloured with a marker pen.  This means you can make your silver glimmer paper any colour you want. 

I hope you've had a great day Sammy!  Me well I've spent the day shopping with my lovely Mum and friend Moni.  New shoes all round and a fab day out!

Back soon.

Boutique Blossom - Single Stamp from Stampin' Up!

You might have noticed in my sidebar the information about Single Stamps.  This gorgeous flower stamp is one of that very group. It's called Boutique Blossom and is available as a clear mount stamp until 31 August.  It's a mainly solid stamp and so it's great for trying out the rock and roll technique. 

ROCK AND ROLL TECHNIQUE

• Choose two co-ordinating colours.
• Ink your stamp in the lighter of two colours.
• Roll the edges of the stamp on the darker of your two chosen colours.
• Stamp your image to obtain a two-tone image. 

I used Elegant Eggplant and the soon to arrive C...... C..... for this example and I also added some Elegant Eggplant spots to the centre of the flower with a marker pen.  You'll also notice the embossing folder is new!  But you'll find out more about that in due course!  The border is stamped with the border stamp from Summer Silhouettes and punched with the scallop trim border punch.  A pleated doily, faceted button and whisper white bakers twine along with a spot of dazzling details (no matter how many times I took a picture of this card I just couldn't get the glitter detail or stop the whisper white glare so just believe me....!) add the embellishments and a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Sentiments with my new word window punch. Why new? Well those of you who know my craftroom now that it is a work in progress site 24/7 and so the old one........well it will live again one day I'm sure!!!
