Shabby Chic Tri Fold Card

Hi everyone! The card I am sharing with you is a tri fold card. I have always wanted to try one. After seeing the latest Waltzingmouse sketch, it was a perfect time to have a go.

I had downloaded some shabby chic papers, and some had a duck egg blue tone, a colour which I adore. After creating the card base, I added the background paper leaving a slight border. I used distress ink to ink the edges.

Here is a view of inside the card.....

I used the main background paper, added a stripe paper border then added some lace.

I used the Fancy Phrases stamp set to add my sentiment. I die cut two scrolls then finished my card front with a flower.

Ink: ColorBox Chalk Rose Coral, Stampin' Up! Soft Suede, Distress Ink Old Paper

Paper: Kaisercraft Duck Egg, Grace Taylor Vintage Collection, Ink & Elm Cottage Rose Collection

Let Friendship Bloom

Hello! I am sharing with you another card that I have created for the Shabby Tea Room Beautiful Roses challenge. The inspiration is to create a project using pink, aqua, white, neutrals and flowers along with the inspiration image.

I die cut a flourish with aqua cardstock and then added some paper roses. I repeated this in the opposite corner as shown below.

I layered my centre elements using foam tape to add dimension. It also gave me room to let the flourish drape nicely over the layers.

Supplies:

Stamps: JustRite Fancy Labels and Friendship Bloom

Paper: Grace Taylor Vintage Collection, DCWV pastel stack

Ink: Versafine Vintage Sepia, Stampin' Up Baja Breeze

Other: Spellbinders Nestabilities standard circles large, labels eighteen and picot edge circles, Die-namics fancy flourish, Prima flowers, Hooked on Craft flowers, paper doily.

Friends and Flowers

Hi everyone. Today has been a dull rainy day. Thankfully the beautiful roses challenge has brightened my day. 

The 'Beautiful Roses' challenge for the Shabby Tea room is to create a project using the colours aqua, pink, neutrals and flowers. It also asks you to use the above image for inspiration.

I started my card by creating the rose image. I stamped the rose using versa mark and embossed it. I then sprayed water over it and applied reinkers to colour in the petals.

Next I layered the background using white card stock and a gorgeous floral patterned paper.

I added a sentiment and some extra flowers to complete the card.

Supplies:

Paper: Grace Taylor Vintage Collection, Stampin’ Up shimmery paper

Ink: Varsamark, Versafine vintage sepia, Stampin’ Up reinkers regal rose and pretty in pink

Waltzingmouse Stamps Challenge #79

The card I am sharing is my interpretation of the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. When I saw the circular motif I knew it was an opportunity to use the cameo stamps that I had purchased. 

For each layer I either stamped or embossed a vintage element to compliment the cameo. A touch of lace and ribbon and pearls just finished of the card.

Following the blue and white theme, I embossed the sentiment and added pearls to finish it off.

Supplies:

Paper : Grace Taylor vintage collection

Ink: Stampin’ Up Baja Breeze

Stamps: Waltzingmouse Cameo To Go, Vintage Label 10 and Fancy Phrases

Other: Spellbinders Nestabiities Labels ten, Classic Ovals large, Spellbinders Shapeabilities Standard Tag, Kaisercraft pearls, lace, blue ribbon, Stampin’ Up emboss white.
