STAMPIN' UP! RUSTIC CENTERPIECE SUCCULENT BIRTHDAY CARD

Today's card features the third image in the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set.  I have previously shared cards made using the sunflower and reindeer images.  I love greens, and earthy tones, and am quite happy with how this card turned out.  My photography leaves a bit to be desired, though; this card looks much nicer in real life!

I stamped the succulents in StazOn Jet Black ink, on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  To colour the image, I watercoloured using ink from Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Soft Sea Foam, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow inkpads.  Below the focal image, I adhered a thin strip of Mossy Meadow Designer Series Paper, and cut the entire piece out with an Everyday Arches Die.  Using the next size up Everyday Arches Die, I cut out a mat from Mossy Meadow card.

The leafy background of my card is a piece of Old Olive Designer Series Paper, sponged around the edges with Old Olive ink, then matted on a Soft Suede card panel.

The sentiment, from Simply Said, was stamped in Versamark ink on Crumb Cake card, and white heat-embossed.  I used a Textured Notes Die to cut it out, then sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink.

The sweet embellishments added to my card are a bow made from White 1/2" Woven Ribbon, along with Tiny Bee Trinkets.

STAMPIN' UP! RUSTIC CENTERPIECE & EVERYDAY ARCHES CHRISTMAS CARD

I'm still on a bit of a roll with the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set, working on Christmas cards because I will be away a lot in the coming months (when I'd normally be making Christmas cards).

I watercoloured the image on this one, after stamping it in StazOn Jet Black ink on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.

The card base is Crumb Cake, with a layer of Old Olive card.  I embossed a piece of Real Red Two-Tone card with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder, then sanded some of the raised design to reveal the paper's white core.

I used an Everyday Arches Die to cut out the main image.  On a scrap of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, I stamped the sentiment (from Greetings of the Season) in Real Red ink.  I then trimmed the strip to the width of the base of the arch.

Here's a closer look at the details, and my loose watercolouring.  The Adhesive-Backed Peppermints are just my favourite Christmas embellishment - so cute!

STAMPIN' UP! RUSTIC CENTERPIECE CHRISTMAS CARD #2

 Today's share is a rustic-looking Christmas card, using the lovely Rustic Centerpiece stamp set.

The background is a piece of Woven Textures Designer Series Paper, that has been mounted on Basic White card and a Crumb Cake card base.

The sentiment, from Greetings of the Season, is white heat-embossed on Cherry Cobbler card.  

The main image was stamped on a piece of Crumb Cake card, using Versamark ink.  After heat-embossing it in white, I cut it out using a Countryside Corners Die (just retired from Stampin' Up!'s range this past week), and sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink.

I used Stampin' Blends Markers to colour the image.  My Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Marker was also used to colour the Faux Glass Dots.

To the inside of the card, I adhered a Basic White piece of card, on which I had stamped (in Crumb Cake ink) the same Christmassy image, but off the edge of the card.
