STAMPIN' UP! SUNNY SENTIMENTS - CALYPSO CORAL

 

Tonight's Colour Creations blog hop is focussing on Calypso Coral.  This colour features heavily in the You're A Peach Designer Series Paper, that I had yet to cut into, so that decided for me what the basis of my project would be!

The only stamping on my card is the sentiment.  I fussy cut a couple of floral clusters, and a spray, from one of the DSP sheets, and arranged them around the focal die cut piece that holds the sentiment.  



I added Calypso Coral sequins to some of the flower centres:


The sentiment was stamped in Calypso Coral ink on a piece of Basic White card, that I then cut out using a Hippo & Friends Die.  I added a couple of larger sequins, once I'd adhered the fussy-cut flower bough at the top of the sentiment label.


Using my Dark Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends marker, I coloured some Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding.  I laid one length of ribbon flat on my card front, vertically, between the two patterned papers.  I used two shorter lengths to make a double bow.

  1. Christine I really love your "almost no stamping" card - that DSP is so gorgeous and you're really showcased it beautifully on this card. Love that stitched label and your home made Calypso Coral ribbon too!

  6. A gorgeous card, Christine and I love that you coloured your ribbon to coordinate. The extra fussy cut flowers from the DSP are lovely around your sentiment.

  7. Such a pretty card love. The fussy cut flower bundles soften the sentiment panel beautifully. Great idea to colour the seam binding when a matching colour doesnt exist

  8. This is such a pretty card, Christine. And a perfect sentiment especially with the cold, wet conditions we’ve been having this Winter. Love the addition of the sequins.

  10. Ok I think I need these hippo and Friends dies now. I love all your fussy cutting to frame your sentiment and let it compliment the rest of your DSP background! Love a good colouring of seam binding or ribbon! Lovely card!
