STAMPIN' UP! RUSTIC CENTERPIECE SUNFLOWER CARD

Hello!  It has been a while since my last blog post, thanks to this year being a busy year for travel for me.  When I am not travelling, I am planning more travel - so card-making has taken a bit of a back seat. 

I am excited to share with you some cards I have made with a lovely new stamp set called Rustic Centerpiece, just released as an Online Exclusive.  It's different to any other stamp sets I've had, and I am having a lot of fun colouring the sweet images.

For this card, I have paired the Sunflower 3D embossing folder with the sunflower focal image.  I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake card, then used a Blending Brush to add Crumb Cake ink over the raised flowers and leaves.  This panel is mounted on Basic White, and a Crumb Cake card base.

Here's a closer look at my (rather messy!) colouring of the image, using Stampin' Blends.  I white heat-embossed the design on a piece of Crumb Cake card that I'd cut out using a Notes of Texture Die. I then coloured the flowers using Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze Stampin' Blends.  The leaves were coloured in Old Olive, the wood cut base in Crumb Cake, and the vase in Pecan Pie.  I used Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends to colour the apples, to complement the sentiment (from Delightful Wishes) stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.

Faux Glass Dots and a Linen Thread bow finish off the design on the front.

Inside the card, I added a Basic White card panel, stamped with part of the same image in Crumb Cake ink.

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

Tomorrow I will share another card made with this same stamp, but using a different colouring medium.

STAMPIN' UP! DELIGHTFUL WISHES CARD #2

 Along with the beautiful Delightful Wishes bundle, for this next card I have used a couple of gorgeous patterned papers from the Floral Delight DSP pack, and some patterned vellum from the Floral & Gingham Vellum pack.

The card base is Very Vanilla, as is the card on which I stamped the sentiments.  I used Old Olive ink for the "wishing", and Daffodil Delight ink for the rest of the sentiment.  The card panel on which the papers are matted, is Old Olive.

In these close-ups, you'll be able to more clearly see the lovely floral vellum, that is between the top yellow paper layer, and the base layer printed with tiny leaves and flower bursts.  I adhered Adhesive Sheet to the back of the vellum, then peeled off the backing paper to allow me to affix it to the patterned paper without any sign of glue.

The branch was die-cut from Soft Suede card.  I stamped the flowers in Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight inks, before die-cutting them.  Antique Pearls throw quite green, so I coloured them with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Marker before adhering them to some of the flower centres.  I have had this card sitting, waiting to be blogged, for a few weeks, and felt like something was missing, but couldn't put my finger on it.  Now that I have blogged it, I can clearly see - I didn't put any leaves on it!  Oh dear.  Really would've lifted it a bit, LOL.

Tiny Bee Trinkets, and Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon, were also added to my card.  Aren't the bees sweet?!
