Side step card

Hello everyone. I am sharing with a card that I have made for The Shabby Tea Room challenge. This week the theme is 'Pretty Party'.  You are asked to create a card or project inspired by the photo USING PINK AND GREEN PLUS FLOWERS!

I had in mind a paper collection I already had and love, Kaisercraft English Roses. It has a lot of green/pink papers that would be perfect for this challenge.

I made a side step card this week. I followed a tutorial from Splitcoaststampers which you can find here.

For my first side tier, I added a few flowers along with a die cut flourish. Behind it in tier two, I stamped and die cut a sentiment. I replaced the sentiment with a tag as I plan to give this card to my sister for her birthday.

For my third tier, I die cut and embossed a Spellbinders butterfly along with a circular flourish die. I off set the flourish so that things would line up when looking at the card from the front.

A small arrangement of flowers were added along with a flourish to the main side of the card. I wanted the papers to reveal the floral pattern so I left it bare.

Supplies:

Paper: Kaisercraft English Rose 6" paper pad, Stampin' Up! cardstock

Ink: Versa Magic pink petunia, Versfine vintage sepia, Distress ink worn lipstick

Stamps: JustRite stampers You're so Sweet and Just Because set

Other: Die-namics vintage flourish, Spellbinders shapeabilities butterflies, Spellbinders nestabilities circles large, Memory Box Quinn flourish, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, Liquid pearls bisque, Hooked on Craft flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Retreat

Hi everyone. I am sharing a layout that I have just completed. I have been making so many cards lately that it was time to do some scrapbooking. I followed the "#1 June 2012 Saturday Sketch" from Kaisercraft.

I wanted to use to use this particular photo of my sister at a school retreat. I wanted it to be fresh feeling with lots of flowers. I selected papers from the English Rose Collection.

I used a rub on and an element from the paper pad to add my journaling.

I stamped and inked a chipboard hinge using a flourish stamp. I also inked the background paper with a pink ink, to add interest to the main elements of my page.

Some of the collectable die cut pieces from different collections co-ordinate beautifully. I managed to find some floral pieces from Sweet Nothings. I added a die cut  butterfly to both.

I like the edges to look worn. I distress and ink them to create that vintage look. Here I tore, rolled and added lace.

Supplies:

Paper: Kaisercraft English Rose

Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Versa Color Umber, Versa Magic Pink Petunia and ColorBox Chalk Chestnut Roan

Stamp: Kaisercraft Flourishes

Other: Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings collectables, rub on Life, mini paper bloom fairy floss, Vivaldi blossom, Webster's Pages alpha stickers, liquid pearls petal pink and bisque, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, Spellbinders Shapeabilities butterflies, Scrapmatts chipboard hinge, Gesso, lace, paper doily.
