A card for twins! using soft and bright Primary Colours for SUO#156

I was asked to create a card for twins- a boy and a girl! How lovely.
I used my sponge daubers to create the background and a very old stamp to create the romper suits - the current framelits were just a bit too large to have both sitting comfortably on the card together.I decided to use a mix of bright and soft colours




I'm not sure if this quite qualifies for the Stampin' Up! Only challenge to use Primary Colours#156 (of any tone,) since Green is not strictly a primary but I'm going to include it as my entry this week anyway. It just needs the green to soften it- and to me green is a basic colour which I use all the time! Lets call it artistic license!

It's easy to create the background using the Irresistibly Floral  DSP. Just add colour in patches  and blend gently together, Keep gradually increasing the depth until you are happy with the overall look.  Wipe over with a tissue or soft cloth and the white design underneath shows through. The paper pack has spots, stripes and florals and is super fun to use. The Mint Macaron Mini striped ribbon is perfect too.




A little wink of Stella and some in-colour enamel shapes and this came together very quickly.

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
