STAMPIN' UP! FRIENDLY HELLO POOL PARTY CARD

 

Tonight's blog hop is shining a light on Pool Party, a pale greeny-blue in Stampin' Up!'s colour range.

The paper in the Friendly Hello bundle, one of the free products* offered during Sale-a-Bration (running until 16th March in Australia and New Zealand), has some beautiful Pool Party designs.  One of them forms the background of my card.  I have used the flower stamps from the free bundle, also, stamping them in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White card, and colouring them with with Stampin' Blends before fussy-cutting them.

I have used a few new-to-me products on my card.  The sentiment, stamped in Versamark ink on Basic Black card, then heat-embossed in white, is from the Lucky You stamp set.  I used a Tasteful Labels Die to cut it out.  The sweet "ticket" border in Basic Black was cut using a die from the Sports Event Dies.  I white heat-embossed hearts, from the Lucky You stamp set, on the strip of tickets, then adhered it above a Pool Party scalloped border cut using Scalloped Contours Dies.

Tucked behind the Pool Party flowers are some foliage pieces, created with the Flowers of Home Dies, and Basic Black, Basic White, Pool Party card, and vellum.  Added to the flower centres are Elegant Faceted Gems.  I first coloured three of the flower centres with the Dark Pool Party Stampin Blends marker, and the other two with the Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blends marker.
