STAMPIN' UP! TO A WILD ROSE THANKS CARD

The last card in my Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper share is a non-Christmas card!  I wanted to use a couple of the patterns of Real Red paper, so consulted my old Stampin' Up! Color Coach to come up with a colour combination.  I accepted the challenge of creating with this rather retro combination:

I stamped the flower outlines in Early Espresso ink, on Whisper White card.  The stamped and die-cut leaves are also in Early Espresso.

When I stamped the two layers of colour on the roses, I first stamped in Pumpkin Pie, then stamped over the top with Real Red ink that I'd stamped off first onto a scrap piece of paper (to reduce the intensity of colour).  Even though I wouldn't have thought to use these colours together, I think it gives quite a lovely result.  The gems I have used to embellish this card are Holiday Rhinestones, in Pumpkin Pie.

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

STAMPIN' UP! PRIZED PEONY MEETS BEST PLAID DIES

When I saw, in the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue, the Best Plaid Dies, I instantly thought of masculine cards.  However, I've employed them in a more feminine way, for my first play!  There are two dies in the set; I cut two from Petal Pink, and two from Gray Granite, card.  The dies created the awesome background on this card:

The gorgeous peony was stamped in Basic Gray ink, on Whisper White card.  I coloured the image using Petal Pink and Gray Granite Stampin' Blends markers.  The sentiment is white-embossed on Basic Gray card.  How pretty a touch are the silver Metallic Pearls, to add a little "something" without sparkle?

STAMPIN' UP! GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIA THANK YOU CARD

Before the current Stampin' Up! annual catalogue ends, I wanted to make more use of the gorgeous magnolia-themed products.  The stamp set, thankfully, will carry over into our new catalogue, but the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper will retire at the beginning of next month.

I stamped the lovely big magnolia image onto watercolour paper, using Versamark ink, then sprinkled white embossing powder over the image, using my heat tool to melt it.  I then used Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow reinkers, and an aquapainter, to watercolour the image.  Only a little bit of patterned paper is used on this card - a delicate-patterned piece cut with an Ornate Borders die.

The sentiment, from Ornate Thanks, was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on the Whisper White panel.  The entire stitched rectangle panel was then embossed with the Scripty 3D embossing folder.

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

Please come back to visit again.  Over the next couple of days, I'll be sharing some more watercoloured magnolia images on cards.
