Best Wishes for Just Us Girls

It's Saturday and time for me to show you what I made for our

Colour Week at Just Us Girls and hosted by Maria

who chose this lovely photo for your inspiration.

As the graphic says - pick any 3 colours and

neutrals are welcome!

I choice the colours of the flowers and leaves.
For my background I decided to make my own and found
A different shaving cream technique which isn't
quite as messy. I just used the two colours.

I got out my SU Lotus Blossom stamp set
and inked up with SU Yo Yo Yellow,
Tim's Distress Inks in Festive Berries and Mowed Lawn.
Added a few leaves from Kaisercraft.
Here's a close up to show you how nice the
Ranger Red Cinnabar embossing powder is
with the lovely gold fleck which went on last.

This was cut from a Spellbinder Die

as is the scalloped backing. Sentiment is from Cherry Lynn.

Added a tiny Waffle Flower bow

and a white background to green card stock.

Pop over and see what our Guest Eva and the Team created.

Thanks for dropping in. Love reading your comments.

A Blossoming Flower

It's been some time since I have played over at the

CAS Mix Up Card Challenge but this month's technique

Baby Wipe Stamping and Your Choice

has been on my 'To Try List' for a long time

so there was no excuse for me to NOT try it out. 

My Mix is Baby Wipe Technique, Stamping

Die Cutting and Embossing

I used Ramblin' Rose Pink Magicals

on my first baby wipe, wetting it to

activate the crystals and then wiping it on to

card stock several times to get the bright shimmery effect.

The leaves are soaked up with

Tim's Carved Pumpkin

SU Mossy Meadow and Yo Yo Yellow reinkers.

These were die cut from SU Botanical Blooms.

I love this stamp/die set as it is so versatile.

Behind the leaves I inked a few twigs with 

Tea Die Distress Ink as is the lovely sentiment from

STAMPlorations Blossoming

You will see faint embossing to the white card.

I only embossed with one half of the folder

to take away the starkness.

I inked the leaf edges with Nuvo Gold Glitter

which is very hard to see.

Added some tiny beads to the centre of my flower

to finish my card that I adhered to kraft card base.

I had a lot of fun with this technique and 

have made another card using one of the

inked baby wipe colours. I will show that another day.
