STAMPIN' UP! FRIENDSHIP CARD FOR PP536

 I love the current colour challenge at The Paper Players so much, I had to make another card.  My first card was masculine, so I decided to go more feminine with this one.  Here are the colours suggested by LeAnne:

The starting point for my card was a leafy panel from the Dandy Laser Cut Paper pack.  I used a Blending Brush to colour it with Crumb Cake ink, then adhered it to a Crumb Cake Stitched Rectangle.  I have rather indulged my love of stitched dies on this card!

The Basic White Stitched Circle piece is stamped with a couple of stamps from Circle Celebration, using Misty Moonlight ink.  The sentiment, from Itty Bitty Greetings, was white-embossed on Misty Moonlight card, and cut out using a Stitched So Sweetly Die.

Using my Pierced Blooms Dies, I die-cut several flowers from Merry Merlot card.  A couple of flower centres, and some tiny flowers, were cut from Basic White card.  I added Misty Moonlight enamel dots to the smallest flowers.

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

I've gone a bit crazy with this colour combination, and made a third card, that I'll share with you tomorrow.

STAMPIN' UP! CIRCLE CELEBRATION IN REAL RED

My original plan, for this week's Real Red Colour Creations Showcase, was to share a card made using the Circle Celebration stamp set.  I wasn't entirely happy with the outcome of this card, though, so decided to share another of my Real Red creations last night.

Bearing in mind that often when I don't like my cards, others do, I decided to share this card after all.  Perhaps it will inspire someone, to use Circle Celebration in a way they hadn't thought of.

My starting point was a large Basic White Stitched Circle, on which I stamped flowers from the Circle Celebration stamp set.  I stamped the larger open flower repeatedly, then filled in space with the small solid-petal flower.

This card was made with my old-time favourite colour combination, of Real Red, Crumb Cake and Basic Black.  Tucked behind the focal circle are some leaves die-cut from Basic Black card using Perennial Petals Dies, and a Circle Celebration flower stamped in Real Red on Basic White card, then die cut using Layering Circles Dies.  As you can see from the above close-up shot, the Crumb Cake card has been embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder.

I stamped and die-cut three more of the circle flower stamps, from Circle Celebration.  These were arranged across the card front, after I'd layered some Real Red Designer Series Paper over the Crumb Cake panel.  Matte Black Dots have been added to some of the flower centres, and the ribbon I used across the card is Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

Listed below are all the products used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

I hope you'll come back to visit tomorrow, to see the third Real Red card I made this week.
