Hello and welcome to my blog. The cards I am sharing today are for two wonderful people who are simply wonderful! Last weekend I travelled to a team training get together and these cards are my way of saying thank you to the fabulous organisers. I thoroughly enjoyed my day creating beautiful cards and chatting.
The theme over on the Global Design Project this week is Bloom and Grow, so I am joining in with their challenge because, by coincidence, the sentiment I have used comes from one of my favourite stamp sets Bloom & Grow.
Over the summer I used this set again and again using bright summery colours. Now the crisper Autumnal days are here I wanted to use a different colour palette. Simple changes give a refreshed look and I love the lustre of the Celestial Copper ink on the Soft Suede card.
The flower image is heat embossed with copper embossing powder and then die cut using the coordinating Budding Blooms dies. The images are 'watercoloured', or perhaps I should say 'glittered' because I used my Wink of Stella glitter brush to paint with. I pressed a little ink from an ink pad onto a clear block and used that as my palette. The colours are Rich Razzleberry and Shaded Spruce. The remaining foliage is coloured using Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.
The Very Vanilla panel is layered onto copper foil and both layers are cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. The outer border is decorated using the new Celestial Copper ink and one of the smaller foliage stamps from the stamp set. Perhaps I should go on to make a winter version using these stamps?
