Saturday Blog Hop – Nothing but Neutrals

By | 1 Comment

 

Happy Saturday!  It’s time for another Saturday Blog Hop!  Our theme is “Nothing But Neutrals”!  We use neutrals all the time on cards…but can we do an entire card with nothing BUT neutrals?  Let’s see what our Design Team did!

WONDERFUL ROMANCE

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Gray cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • On a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White, 1 x 4 panels of Basic Black, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Gray Granite were added across the front in a paint swatch effect.
  • The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White and cut with the Wonderful Floral circle shape and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The large floral image from Wonderful Romance was stamped with Memento Black, then watercolored with Basic Gray, Gray Granite and Basic Black Markers.  It was cut with the Wonderful Floral Framelits and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals around the circle.
  • A couple leaves were cut from Basic Black and a couple from Smoky Slate cardstock and tucked under the large floral and circle.
  • Black Faceted Gems were added to the center of the flowers.
  • Wink of Stella was added to the flowers, too.
  • Basic Black Baker’s Twine was tied around the stems in a bow.

I think this is quite elegant looking in all neutrals…what do you think?  Now, continue the blog hop to see what our Design Team did with the Nothing But Neutrals Challenge this week! Next up is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa’s fabulous card!

Wonderful Romance

By | 1 Comment

Woohoo!  I had time to do another challenge this week!  I was so excited to see the Freshly Made Sketches for this week.

WONDERFUL ROMANCE

Here’s what I came up with using the Wonderful Romance stamp set and Botanical Butterfly Designer Paper (FREE Level 1 Sale-a-bration!)  If you don’t have this paper, you need to GRAB it before the end of the month!  I’ve punched out the butterflies on one of the sheets and have a container full of them already to “land” on my cards!  lol!  SO easy!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Grapefruit Grove cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Sahara Sand, embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder.
  • A 1-1/2 x 4 piece of the black stripe from Botanical Butterfly DSP was added across the front.
  • The greeting from Wonderful Romance was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White, then cut with the label in the Wonderful Floral Framelits.  It was adhered slightly under the DSP.
  • The leaves were stamped twice on Whisper White, colored with the Dark & Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends, then cut with the Wonderful Floral Framelits and added to the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The butterfly was punched with the Butterfly Duet Punch from the Botanical Butterfly DSP and added with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Pearls were added to the body of the butterfly for a little bling!

LOVE it!!!  SO happy with how it turned out!
