STAMPIN' UP! STIPPLED ROSES BIRTHDAY CARD

 Today I have another Pool Party card to share with you, as I have so enjoyed creating with the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper.  It's a Sale-A-Bration freebie, available if you purchase $90+ of products from Stampin' Up!'s catalogues.

Again, I've used two of the patterned papers for my background.  I sponged the edges in ink that matches the papers - Pool Party and Wild Wheat respectively.

The sentiment, from So Sincere, was white heat-embossed on Pool Party card.  I cropped it with the larger of the two sentiment label dies from the Sending Dies set.  After I had die-cut it, I moved the card strip in the die, and cut it again, to customise the size closer to the sentiment.

I used Everyday Details Dies to cut the Basic White rectangle on which the main design elements of the card sit.  It's mounted on a slightly larger Pool Party rectangle, with edges sponged using Pool Party ink.

The Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs I have added to my card throw all sorts of colours in different light, and from different angles.  I used white discs for the flower centres, and Pool Party discs in the top right-hand corner of my card.

I'd hoped this close-up would better show the roses I stamped in Pool Party ink, on the linen-look Pool Party paper, but they're a bit faint!

I die-cut two clusters of leaves from Wild Wheat card, and all the little flowers from Pool Party card, using Stippled Roses dies.

The focal panel of the card has been raised up on Stampin' Dimensionals, to sit above the Pool Party Crinkle Ribbon.

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.  NB:  Despite the price beside it, the Softly Stippled DSP cannot be purchased.  You can earn it for free by placing a $90+ product order with me before the end of February.

STAMPIN' UP! STIPPLED ROSES CARD FEATURING POOL PARTY

Stampin' Up!'s Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper is just so pretty, I had to have more of a play after last night's Colour Creations blog hop.  These papers (FREE, until the end of the month, with a $90+ Stampin' Up! order) are designed to co-ordinate with the Stippled Roses bundle, so I have used only that bundle (well, with one other die for the sentiment!).

I have used two papers from the pack - the floral background, and the Wild Wheat strip across the middle.  I sponged the edges of both of these pieces of paper, in co-ordinating inks, before matting them on a Pool Party card layer.

I stamped the spray of roses in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White card, and used the co-ordinating die to cut them out.  The flowers were coloured with Pool Party Stampin' Blends, and the leaves and stems with Wild Wheat Stampin' Blends.

From Basic White card, I die-cut some extra leaves, as I am in LOVE with the detail on them!

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink, on Pool Party card.  I sprinkled white embossing powder over the ink, and melted the powder with my heat tool.  The "holey" circle that you'll be seeing so much of on my cards is courtesy of the Everyday Details Dies - my new favourites.

I added a bow made with Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon, and added some Iridescent Pearls.
