CI#118 Season's Blessings sparkle


I love green so you would think I would have jumped to create this challenge, but like all things lately it is taking me longer to get started! So I'm late again but no matter, I did find some INKspiration and created a basket of flowers using the beautiful Season's Blessings stampset and dies. 

I am so sad that this bundle will be retiring at the end of April-  it's so lovely to use and just a little bit different to so many floral sets. 

This is the inspiration pic for this challenge


 So here's my card recipe
  • Watercolour wash with Soft Succulent ink on shimmery white cardstock
  • stamp the leaves in Garden Green and paint over sections with Soft Succulent
  • stamp the flower centres (how cute are they) in garden green
  • stamp the flowers with versamark and clear emboss the let the vanilla flowers show through, then paint them with Wink of Stella
  • cut the basket from silver foil ( retired from the Christmas mini- it's a really dark silver)
  • for the rock garden aspect of the Inspo pic I used some of the cool new embellishments.
  • and of course you have to stamp the inside and the envelope for the complete package

For the month of March you can save 20% on the Mini Stampin' cut & Emboss Machine and selected Stamp and Die Bundles - you can see them all in my online store

The mini Emboss machine is $83 instead of $104 for a very limited time


Season's Blessings stamp set is discounted 20% to $29.60


Seasonal Baskets dies is discounted 50% to only $28.00

So it is cheaper to buy them separately instead of the bundle which is not discounted.

I have another 7 blogposts using this beautiful set and you can see more ideas starting here.

Sentiment is from Painted Petals, making the paper roses is made easier using the Spiral Flower Die thanks for looking. Of course these can be mDe to order, liz

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
