Blended Daisy Birthday

Hiya All
              Here's a sweet little birthday card we made at Stamp Class this month using the new Stampin' Blends.  It's so fun to watercolour with these markers, they have been designed to use with the Stampin' Up! Whisper White card stock and with the Memento Tuxedo Black Archival Ink Pad.

When we made this in class each stamper got to pick their own set of colours as the DSP chosen would co-ordinate with any colour of daisy.  We stamped the sentiment in the same colour as the daisy was coloured.  We added a Clear Faceted Gem to the centre of the flower to finish it off and to break the harsh line where the DSP meets card stock we added the Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon...so sweet.

Bright Lamp Post

Hello Stampers
                         I fell in love with this lamp post die as soon as I saw it in the holiday catalogue.  I always had this image of the lamp post with the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper words in the background.  I wanted to soften the edge of the DSP so I sponged it with Sahara Sand. 

The Lamp post after all that looked a bit lacklustre... so I added a bit of sparkle using Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.  I stamped the sentiment from the Brightly Lit Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink and layered it onto Cherry Cobbler Card Stock to add a bit of festive cheer.

Magical Mermaid

Hiya Everyone
                        Here's the card I made for my niece's birthday recently.  I used the brand new Stampin' Blends Markers the Stampin' Up! version of alcohol markers.  There are twelve exclusive colours available to be purchased as individual markers in Light or Dark Shades or as a Combination pack.
The colours included are: Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Pink Pirhouette, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Smoky Slate.  There are also individual markers in Ivory, Bronze and the colour lifter.


 For the background I used the Marbled Background Stamp and inked it with Lemon Lime Twist,  sponged on Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo to make the mottled background.  I stamped the sentiment from Magical Mermaid in Bermuda Bay on Whisper White and cut out with Stitched Shape Framelits.  I layered it onto a scallop circle in Bermuda Bay from the Layering Circle Framelits. 

The Mermaid I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White card.  Then I used the Bermuda Bay marker to colour the fins on the tail & back, the scales on the tail I coloured with Old Olive.  The arm I coloured with Ivory and the hair I coloured with Ivory, Crumb Cake and Bronze markers.  Then I coloured over the whole lot with Clear Wink of Stella for a totally Magical Mermaid.

Floral Lovely Heart

Hi All
           Sorry I've been away for a bit, I got quite sick for a while and lost track of absolutely everything.  I made this card up to send to my lovely customers who ordered with me last month as a little thank you.

Because the DSP I chose was quite bold being floral with a Basic Black background I wanted to keep the rest of the card simple.  I chose to layer some Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon onto some Tangerine Tango and then onto the DSP layer.  I used the Lovely Words Thinlits to cut out the word "lovely" from Basic Black card and then coloured it with Clear Wink of Stella to continue the sparkly theme.

I layered the word lovely onto the Tangerine Tango Heart that I cut out using the Sweet & Sassy Framelits.  Then I stamped the word Hello from the Thoughtful Banners Stamp Set in Basic Black on the Heart and popped the heart on the card with Dimensionals.



Stamp Set: Thoughtful Banners
Ink: Basic Black
Card: Tangerine Tango, Whole Lot of Lovely DSP, Basic Black
Big Shot: Sweet & Sassy Framelits, Lovely Words Thinlits
