I love the watercolor effect the Artistically Inked Stamp Set gives, a great texture stamp, flowers and leaves and 4 very useful greetings. Today’s card uses this set and is the result of a color challenge I took part in a few weeks ago the result is a very pretty feminine card.
Continue readingI am doing it again ~ using my Designer Series Paper!!! This time I have pared the Color and Contour Stamp Set with Harvest Meadow DSP.
Each time a new catalog is launched I look at Punches, Ribbon and then the DSP before anything else. Now you may be wondering what I mean by DSP………. basically it is double-sided decorated paper similar to that used for scrapbook layouts – and I have used it for this but it also works to decorate your handmade greeting cards.

The new 2014 ~ 2015 Stampin’ Up! catalog brought a new selection of ribbons and embellishments. Each year I host a ‘share’ which I call ‘Buttons and Bows”- which runs over 4 months. Last month I shared Septembers selection of goodies and I thought I would share those for this month!
It has been a week or so since I last posted…… my computer went blank on me, just a white, winking arrow……nothing worked until a friend had a close look at it, fixed and then gave me a severe lecture on NOT using ‘clean disk’ and ‘defrag’ 😦

A card made for an acquaintance who was recently diagnosed.
The base card is Stampin’ Up’s Blushing Bride card, dry embossed with the Decorative Dots embossing folder then topped with a Tea Time paper doily.
The ‘You’re Lovely stamp set was used for the center embellishment layered on to Sahara Sand card both of which were cut with the Deco Labels Framelits. Basic Gray ink was used then Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz ink and a blender pen used to water color the flowers.
This was adhered using stampin dimensionals with a twist of 1\4 stitched Blushing Bride grosgrain ribbon and a gentle sprinkling of pearls to finish off. Hopefully it conveys encouragement for her upcoming treatment.
Happy Stamping 🙂
