Inspire. Create challenge #24 "Florals" Using Healing Hugs.

Hello!
Wow! Another week, another fun challenge at Inspire. Create and this weeks theme is Florals :-)

I needed a "Thank you" card recently so I turned to the very lovely Healing Hugs stamp set and made this...

 I made the background myself using watercolour paper with Smoky Slate and Powder Pink ink pads. It actually ended up looking a bit like marble, don't you think?

I stamped the roses in Lovely Lipstick and the leaves in Mint Macaron before fussy cutting! It was super quick though, please don't be put off by fussy cutting ;-)

 I stamped the sentiment from Thankful Thoughts in basic grey, using my Stamparatus so I could repeat stamp (which I did) if it didn't stamp fully over the background.

So, that's my card for the challenge this week. Head over to the challenge blog to see what the other DT have made and please do share your "Floral" creations with us! We'd love to see :-)

Dandelion Wishes with Bokeh Background in Pink

Hi there,
Today I have a super pretty card today using Dandelion Wishes teamed with the Bokeh Dots stamps in a smoky slate and blushing bride colourway...

These Bokeh background stamps are some of the new "Distinktive" photo-realistic style stamps. They are sized to fit in the centre of an ink pad (to avoid having to go over the edges to ink)

 TIP: I have found that they stamp the best when the ink pad is not too wet, so if your ink pad is new or just a bit juicy, simply press the ink down in your pad with a bone folder (as seen HERE) or the back of a spoon before inking your stamp.

Finish with a few of the very pretty, pink tiny sequins from the Iridescent assortment...

...And a strip of card embossed with the "Tufted" folder.

Rhino Card with Tufted Embossing Folder

Hello there and Happy Sunday!
Today's card uses the very lovely Animal Expedition DSP teamed with the Animal Friends dies which (happily) fit the images on one of the sheets of this paper as well as the stamps, of course! I've teamed the die cut image with the new tufted embossing folder and I couldn't resist adding a little sparkle ;-)  Let's see...

Loving the tufted embossing folder for simple textured backgrounds...

  I love how simply die cutting these DSP images are so handy for a card in a hurry.

 Add a vellum stitch edge circle, silver thread and a tiny strip of glimmer paper.

I'm loving this layout for cards at the moment so I really hope you are too because there's more where this came from, lol!
Well, thanks for looking today, I'll be back tomorrow with another new card.
