Penned and Painted thinking of you for JAI #345


We got together the other night and did some stamping- no projects specific, just trying different things.
I played around with the Penned and Painted set, and I wasn't really happy with the colours or how they looked so i was going to throw them out. .....

couldn't do it.......

co I cut them out and played some more and came up with a simple card which I quite like now!

I love the Delicate Details heat embossed in White on Kraft..
And the layout works for the challenge at Just Add Ink this week


the enamel dots are the retired sublets dots, and to give them a little gloss I covered each with the fine tip glue pen - just adds a little more dimension.

Thanks for looking, I hope you get some time to be creative today,

Liz

    This is beautiful, Liz. The white embossing on the Kraft cardstock is a stunning contrast and the Elegant Eggplant flowers finish this card on perfectly. Thanks for playing along at Just Add Ink. Rochelle xo

    Liz, I'm so happy you didn't throw these "bits" away! Such a beautiful card. Love all the pretty details (and I think you're very clever, creating your own enamel dots!). Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week!

    I love when something you dont love turns into something you do. I love the cluster of flowers teamed with the rows of embossed lace. A lovely combination & great way to use the sketch. Glad you could play along with us a Just Add Ink.

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration #11, lovely colour combo

I've had a bit of fun this morning playing with a fe new products. I LOVE the new embossing paste- and I've been waiting for ages for SU to bring out some materials for mixed media.  This paste is light and very easy to spread it dries quickly and gives a beautiful finish It can be easily coloured with our refill inks to create a perfect match. This weeks colours are just lovely together.  In my card I have used marina mist ink to colour the paste and used the brick wall mask. This is spread over a watercolour wash using Marina Mist- I just love the layers of colour. To create the leaves I used the 3 ink colours from the challenge and the baby wipe technique to get the variegated leaves using the Colorful Seasons stamp set and framelits. I don't currently have any Early Espresso cardstock but I do have some very old (retired) Early Espresso heat emboss powder, and I have used this for the sentiment on vellum. Of course I ended up with ...
