NATURE’S HARVEST THANK YOU CARD

When I saw the images in the Nature’s Harvest Stamp Set, I knew they would coordinate beautifully with those in the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set.

Thanks fro popping by today. I hope you like the card that I am sharing with you today.

I stamped one of the images from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set directly on to a 6″x 6″ piece of Harvest Meadow 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. This is a Cling Stamp Set and I used my Stamparatus to stamp the image evenly. I stamped it three times, hinge-stepping with a double space, at one height then shifted the DSP so that I could stamp it again at a lower level.

I coloured the flowers using the Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend and Light Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend, before cutting the front DSP panel using the largest Scalloped Contours Dies.

The white edge of a length of Pale Papaya & White Woven Ribbon was cut away so that I could create a frayed effect. This length was then threaded through the scalloped sides of the stamped panel.

The large floral image from the Nature’s Harvest Stamp Set was stamped and then coloured using Light Cajun Craze, Light Pumpkin Pie, Light Soft Succulent and Dark Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. After colouring the image I fussy cut the floral trio and added it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The card insert and envelope each had half the remaining stamped DSP added.

The sentiment, from Nature’s Harvest, was stamped and trimmed down to place in the bottom right-hand corner of the card.

The final touch was to add some Soft Succulent jewels from the 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels.

Well, I have certainly come a long way in 12 months when it comes to fussy cutting. I still need to refine this technique but I am very pleased with my progress.

Make sure you let me know what think of this thank you card. If you live in Australai and would like me to send this card to you, leave a comment and I will make a random selection.

Until next time, happy stamping.

THANK YOU

Hello and welcome to Friday! I am delighted that you have taken some time to pop by today.

Today I have a project that I made for the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #107.

May be an image of fruit and text that says '#107 So Saffron InkSPRATION L COLOUR SPIRATION CHALLENGES Rich Razzleberry Blackberry Bliss Mossy Meadow'

I think this is one of the best colour combinations that Colour INKspiration has challenged us with. The photo, chosen by Cheryl Miller, is such a great source of inspiration. I love the succulent combination of fruits!

I decided to use the Nature’s Harvest and Textures & Frames Stamp Sets for this project.

I started by placing the irregular lines image, from Textures & Frames, on my Stamparatus. This way, I knew that I could create an evenly spaced background layer. After each stamped image I cleaned the stamp, re-inked it in the next colour and used the hinge step technique to progress the background down the Basic White piece of card.

As soon as the first side was completed, I rotated the card and repeated the stamping sequence. Then I trimmed this background layer, as you can see.

The Mossy Meadow card layer was passed through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Bark 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered the stamped Basic White layer, over the embossed Mossy Meadow layer, at an angle.

Then I stamped, coloured and die cut the floral image. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop this up over the stamped background.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut from items in the same bundle.

I stamped the flower inside the card and on the envelope. Then I added some Artistry Blooms Sequins to the card and also tied a double bow using Linen Thread and Basic White Twine.

This is quite different to most cards I make and I am really pleased with the end result. What do you think?

Until next time, happy stamping.
