IM113 – Lovely Lily Pad

By | Leave a Comment

 

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week’s inspiration is a gorgeous stained glass piece!

And…what else would I use except Stampin’ Up!’s FREE Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set and Dies…Lovely Lily Pad!  I went with a very minimalist look on my card to keep with the clean lines of the inspiration piece.

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Petal Pink cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • On top is a 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 layer of Flirty Flamingo cardstock.
    • The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Whisper White cardstock was stamped and stamped off with the “bubble” image in Gallery Grunge stamp set with Seaside Spray Ink just in the lower right area.
    • The large lily pad and flower from Lovely Lily Pad stamp set (FREE SAB item!) were stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Whisper White cardstock and colored with Light & Dark Petal Pink, Light Flirty Flamingo and Dark Mint Macaron an Light Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends.  They were cut with the Lily Pad Dies (also a FREE SAB item!), then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Happy Birthday from Peaceful Moments stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the background.
    • A trio of Iridescent Sequins were added in the background.

I love the soft colors and how delicate this card looks! OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Happy Thursday!  It’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!  It’s a fun sketch challenge this week…I love sketches!  They make it SO easy to create a card!

This was came together ESPECIALLY easy because the Lily Impressions Designer Paper does all the work with just a little bit of stamping!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Flirty Flamingo cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic Black cardstock.
  • The three Lily Impressions Designer Paper panels are 1-1/2 x 3-3/4 each and adhered to the Basic Black layer.
  • A 1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Pool Party cardstock was stamped with the So Exciting greeting from Itty Bitty Birthdays in Memento Black Ink and added to the front.
  • The lily was stamped with Lovely Lilac Ink and colored with Light & Dark Flirty Flamingo and Dark Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends.
  • The Lily Pad was stamped with Granny Apple Green Ink and colored with Light & Dark Granny Apple Green Blends.
