Spellbinders - Simple Vintage Flower Shoppe: Flower Cart

Hello everyone.  I am sharing a card featuring the Flower Cart die set from the Simple Vintage Flower Shoppe collection by Spellbinders (SB) with Simple Stories

*affiliate links were used in this post at no extra cost to you… thank you*

I needed a thank you card and this was it.

The cart pieces were die cut from white, black and silver papers, the roses from white and red cardstock and the foliage from green cardstock.  Ink blending with light grey or black dye inks were done on the white and red pieces, respectively. 

The vases and pails were die cut from white and ink blended with light and dark grey dye inks, respectively.  Assembled and glued the scene onto an A2 size sand coloured panel.  To ground the scene, added shading beneath the objects with the same dark grey dye ink used for the pails.  Adhered the panel onto a white card base to finish.  

I don’t remember ever creating a card with just one product, so this was a nice change…. less items to misplace anyway. 😂  Thank you for stopping by.

Whimsy Stamps Valentine’s Day

Hello and happy Valentine’s Day to those who celebrate.  I don’t celebrate it, but I do have a simple Valentine card as part of the Whimsy Stamps (WS) Valentine Instagram (IG) hop.

Here’s my card. 

The penguins image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then fussy cut out. 

Copic markers used:

black - C3/5/7/9 

orange - Y38, YR07 

cheeks - R81 

shading - C00/1/3 

Die cut the Love Heart from hot pink cardstock next, and cut away the inside leaving the frame   Used the negative piece as a stencil to ink blend the heart onto a Bristol panel with Picked Raspberry distress ink.  Stamped “valentine’s day” from the Happy Sayings stamp set in red.  The “happy” from the scallop circle in the Happy Sayings die set was die cut from red cardstock.  Assembled the card onto a white card base and added a few red heart sequins to finish.

Guest Designer for Color Hues Challenge #103 - Pink and Red

Hello everyone.  I’m delighted to be guest designing (GD) at Color Hues (TCH) for their PINK AND RED special collaboration challenge with Inkspiratiinal.

With it being February, these colours are geared towards Valentines, but I don’t really celebrate it, so I made a cute circle-shaped shaker card instead (no hearts) using products from Whimsy Stamps (WS).

The bear from Teddy Bear Christmas Eve (love stretching my supplies😉) was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then die cut out with its matching die.  A white Posca pen was used to add details/highlights to the gifts. 

Copic markers used:

reds - R27/46 

browns - E50/51/53/55/57 

Used the Pierced and Stitched Circles die set to die cut the circle cutouts, frames and card base (did partial die cutting for this).  Backed the opening of the top frame with acetate, then stacked five frames underneath to form the compartment where the shaker bits are contained.  Treated the area with anti-static powder to help the bits to shake freely.  Stamped the Cosmic Swirl Background with pink dye ink and white heat embossed the sentiment onto red cardstock before assembling the card to finish.

I want to thank Nancy and TCH team for having me GD with them.  Remember this is an 2-for-1 challenge… create one card and link up to two challenges.  WS products used for my card are linked below.  Thank you for stopping by.
