STAMPIN' UP! COUNTRY FLOWERS BIRTHDAY CARD WITH TIMELESS PLAID

 I've paired Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper with the Country Flowers bundle, for today's card.  This colour combo was decided by the patterned papers I chose to use:

The main plaid background paper was sponged around the edges with Crumb Cake ink, before being matted on a piece of Early Espresso card.  I cut a strip of Crumb Cake plaid paper, and stamped the leafy image in Crumb Cake ink directly onto the DSP.  After sponging the edges with Crumb Cake ink, I adhered this strip down the left-hand side of the card front.

The sentiment, from Country Birdhouse, was stamped in Early Espresso ink on a piece of Boho Blue plaid paper.  I die-cut the sentiment using a Delightful Wishes Die, and sponged the edges with Boho Blue ink.  A single Tinsel Gem was added to the sentiment label.

The main images were stamped twice, on Basic White card, using Early Espresso ink.  I coloured the flowers and leaves using Stampin' Blends Markers, in Boho Blue and Crumb Cake. 

The bucket was also stamped in Early Espresso ink on Basic White card.  I coloured it using Natural Tones Stampin' Blends Markers (Deep 100 and Medium Deep 300), and the Color Lifter.

As well as die-cutting the coloured pieces, I cut some extra foliage from Basic White and Crumb Cake card.

Using an Around it All Die, I cut a large wonky circle from the same Boho Blue paper that was used for the sentiment.  In Early Espresso ink, I stamped some splatters (from the Country Birdhouse stamp set) to ground the bucket.  I sponged the edges of the wonky circle with Boho Blue ink.

More Tinsel Gems, and a Linen Thread bow, finish off the card front.

Inside the card, I added a Basic White panel, stamped with some of the floral image in Boho Blue.

STAMPIN' UP! LAYERS OF BEAUTY CARD IN PETUNIA POP

 Today I am sharing card number 2 in my Layers of Beauty series.  Again I have stamped the main image in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, on Basic White card.  I used the masks to colour the image, applying ink with Blending Brushes.  There are five masks in the bundle - 3 layers of colour for the flowers, and 2 for the leaves.  I used only Petunia Pop ink for the flowers, applying a little more ink and pressure each time to provide depth of colour.  The leaves were first coloured with Granny Apple Green ink, and I used Old Olive ink for the second layer.

Isn't this new In Color just gorgeous?  Check out the sweet Petunia Pop Shimmer Gems:

Here's a closer look at the roses, and the three layers of ink applied.  The masks really make you feel like you're an artist, but in reality it's a super-simple process that anyone can do!

I used two patterned papers from the In Color 6"x6" DSP pack, and covered the join between them with a sliver of Granny Apple Green card.  Using the leaf dies from the Layers of Beauty bundle, I cut some extra foliage from Granny Apple Green card, and tucked it behind the main stamped and die-cut image.

The sentiment is from the Country Flowers stamp set.  I used Versamark ink to stamp it on a strip of Basic Black card.  After sprinkling white embossing powder over the ink (and tapping off the excess), I set it using my heat tool.  The sentiment was then cropped with an Unbounded Love die, and embellished with a Shimmer Gem and a bow made from Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon.
