INKspired Blog Hop 10

 


Pretty Petals





Hello and welcome,
You may have started here with me or you may have come from Narelle Macey Do make sure you hop all the way around all the girls for some great inspiration.

This week I created a few cards using this sketch.
I found this sketch so challenging that I pushed my self and just kept playing.

Here is the sketch for this INKpried Blog hop






Here is my first interpretation of this sketch.
 I liked the idea but I wasn't completely content with this card.
For the flowers I used the stamp set Painted Petals which is in the new Occasions Catty. This stamp set is available in Wood, Clear and Photopolymer. I personally love Photopolymer. Its clear so you can see to place your stamp
exactly where you wont it to go
the Flower tops are stamped in Pacific Point some are stamped off on a scrap piece of paper first to get a more faded look. The stems are in Pear Pizzazz.
This is a two step stamp making it easy to mix and match colours.





SO.........
With this sketch our lovely up line Teneale ( she is the mastermind behind all these amazing sketches) gave us permission to change the star to any shape we wished.

Of course I changed it to a Flower.
and this is my second attempt at this card. Here I reversed my stamping to the background leaving the panel with more white space.

But one flower wasn't enough
 
so I changed my card
 Again
 
Here I created a flower using the bouquet Bigz Die I cut them out in Whisper White and stamped them with Gorgeous Grunge in Pacific Point. I then sponged around the outside and the inside of each petal in Pacific Point and a little Crumb Cake.
 
The back "frill" of the flower is made up using the Pansy Punch. I punched out two flowers and separated them by scrunching and teasing them apart. I then folded them in half and placed all four behind my flower with a little bakers twine.



 
 
 
 


 
 





I still have so many ideas but for now this is enough. Enjoy..
 
Be sure to comment if you feel. I love to hear from you all.

ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY

 
 
Celebrate!!
 
Hi, and welcome here for a little update on some of my creations.
 
Here is a card I made for my sisters birthday.
She loves blue and I love these two stamp sets.
 
 
 
 
 
For the flowers I used the stamp set Painted Petals which is in the new Occasions Catty. This stamp set is available in Wood, Clear and Photopolymer,
how cool is that!!
the Flower tops are stamped in Marina Mist (love this colour) some are stamped off on a scrap piece of paper first to get a more faded look. The stems are in Pear Pizzazz.
This is a two step stamp making it easy to mix and match colours.
 
The birthday wish is from the stamp set Balloon bash. I stamped the whole thing in So Saffron and then stamped it again on a piece of scrap paper in Pear Pizzazz and cut out the Celebrate banner. I then popped it up with a few dimensionals to make it pop off the page.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This next card is me just playing with the painted petals stamp set.
The possibilities are endless with this stamp set.
With this card I stamped the back ground first with the flowers in Pacific Point then with the leaves in Pear Pizzazz I stamped each flower and leaf set before going on to the next flower so that I could see where they were going to touch.

 
 
 
I then stamped the white panel of the card with the flowers first and then the stems and finally the sentiment. I then punched out two little flags using the Banner punch one in Pacific Point and the other in Whisper White
and tucked them under the white panel.
Such a cute and simple card!!
 
Thanks for stopping by.

I was a bit cheeky this week ant turned this sketch around.
 
With so many new stamps to play with it was hard to know what set to play with first.


This is what I came up with!



 
I'm in LOVE with this butterfly die! I have so many ideas for this die.
With this cute little guy I lightly stamped my Blushing Bride paper before I put it through the Big Shot cutting out the butterfly!
