LOVELY LILY PAD

This is the first time I have used the Lovely Lily Pad products I earned from Sale-a-bration: the stamp set, Lily Pad Dies and coordinating Lily Impressions DSP.

I really like the connected tear drops die (that’s the best way I can think to describe it). Most of this card involves die cutting, with only one stamped image and a thin strip of the DSP.

I carried over the die cut ‘tears’ and DSP strip to quickly create a coordinating gift box.

Tell me what you think …

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.

POPPY GIFT BOX

I imagine this could make a perfect box for a graduation gift.

It has been a long time since I’ve used the Parcels and Petals Bundle (AC p.27) … so, out it came to be combined with the Peaceful Moments Bundle.

I wanted to use some of the So Very Vellum for the floral accents and belly band … a subtle and elegant combination of colours – purple posy and soft sea foam.

Some simple stamping on the box and tag; followed by building the flowers and wrapping the belly band.

Put it all together … the end result.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

POPPIES PAINTED in GOLD FOIL

These cards started with me wanting to colour one of the sheets of paper from the FLOWERING FOILS SPECIALTY DSP packs, from the soon to be available Sale-a-bration Second Release … (March 3).

Today, I decided to use a range of our blues … you should see how inky my fingers are at the moment. My craft space might be clean and tidy now but I’m a mess.

You might not think that blues and flowers are a natural look, yet I’m really pleased with result … what do you think?

Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party; worked into an ombre style using our sponge brayers.

Luckily, I had a small amount of retired rose gold foil in my stash that I could use.

For this card, I simply used Night of Navy and worked the colour from very light to its true colour.

I like the way the blues really make the rose gold foil pop.

In case you haven’t already noticed, I enjoy layering. Layering the leaves behind the poppy was inspired by a video from Emma Goddard, of the Artisan Team. It is wonderful to have so inspiration readily at hand – the SU catalogues, Pinterest, Facebook … so many sources.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
