Colour Creations - Mango Melody

Hi Everyone, Here we are at week 27 of the colour creations hop. This week the colour is Mango Melody, what a lovely colour even though I don't like mango's. I have made this card for my friend Frances whose Birthday in on the 17th December, and as she loves flower and has such a green thumb I thought she would like this one.

I decided to start with a Basic Gray card base and added the Slate Gray as my first layer I then added 3 more layers to the front of the card in Copper Glimmer paper, Mango Melody and Vellum. I used the Beautiful Day Stamp set and stamped the flower using versa mark and Silver Embossing powder. Then coloured in the flower using the Mango Melody Blender pens. I placed the Vellum layer of the Mango Melody layer using glue dots and place the 3 layers on an angle to add to the feature. I placed the faceted gems over where the glue dot were so that you can't see them, and stamped the Happy Birthday on the gray layer using Basic Gray ink.

For my insert I used Whisper White and stamped the flower again along with my sentiment and then used my marker pens to colour in the flower. I added the strip of glimmer paper to finish it off.

Heart of Christmas - Week 8

 

Hi Everyone, Here we are at week 8 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop, and with less than 3 months until the day we will have to get cracking to get all these Christmas Cards made and ready for mailing.

This week I have used the New "Peaceful Poinsettia" Stamp set on page 22 of the Holiday Catalogue.

I started with a Real Red card bade and used whisper white on one and Very Vanilla of the other card at the top before stamping the lovely poinsettia flower. I coloured the flowers using the blender pens.
I used the Joyous Noel DSP on the bottom of the card and the velvet Tranquil Tide Ribbon. I mounted my sentiment onto copper glimmer paper using Oval layering dies.

I stamped my inserts and added them to the inside of the cards. Such a lovely set I can see myself using this set for many years.
