Daisy Card Sketch Challenge

It's time for another challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches!

https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com

Here is my take on the sketch layout:

I used Pretty Peacock, Whisper White and Granny Apple Green Card Stock. The Pretty Peacock layer is Embossed with the Subtle Embossing folder. The Designer Series Paper layer is the 2019-2021 In Colour 6X6 Paper. I punched out 2 large and 3 medium Daisies in Whisper White with the Daisy Punches and sprinkled them with some Wink Of Stella for a bit of sparkle!!  Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon and a Perennial Essence Floral Centre finishes off this card!

Supplies Used:
Card Stock: Pretty peacock, Whisper White and Granny Apple Green
Accessories: Subtle 3D Embossing Folder, Daisy Punch, Medium Daisy Punch, Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon, Perennial Essence Floral Centerstage, 2019-2021 In Colour DSP and Wink Of Stella.

Happy Stamping and Creating!!

Magnolia Whitewash Technique 

This is such a fun and addicting technique. Get out your Aquapainter and inks and have fun!!

I first stamped the Magnolia Bloom in VersaMark then heat embossed it in Gold Embossing Powder. Then using your Aquapainter with just a small amount of water, paint on a light layer of Whisper White Craft Ink. Let it completely dry. Then using Old Olive and Melon Mambo inks, (squeezing the lid of the ink pad  leaves a little pool of ink inside the lid, this is your palette) colour in the flower and leaves. I started off with a very light coat of ink, then went back and highlighted some areas with a slightly darker layer. I kept the card design very simple, I wanted the flower to be the focus! I also didn't add any sentiment to the card front, this way it can be used for almost any occasion! 

Supplies Used:
Card Stock: Crumb Cake and Basic Black
Ink: Versamark, Whisper White Craft Ink, Old Olive and Melon Mambo Classic Ink
Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Glittered Organdy Black Ribbon

Give this technique a try!!

So Saffron Free As A Bird

I think this might be the first card I have made using So Saffron card stock!! It is so pretty with the Mossy Meadow card stock!! The strip of Designer Series Paper is Magnolia Lane coloured with the So Saffron Stampin' Blends. It completely changes the look of the DSP. So many possibilities!! I adhered the DSP to the Mossy Meadow panel then embossed it with the Subtle 3D embossing folder.

I stamped the Free As A Bird in Memento Black ink and coloured using the Stampin' Blends. They are attached to a Stitched Shape Oval with some pretty Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon behind. The flourish is from the Well Written Dies. I finished it off with some Rhinestones. 

Supplies Used:
Card Stock/DSP: Mossy Meadow, Basic Black, So Saffron and Magnolia Lane DSP
Ink: Memento Black
Stamps: Free As A Bird
Accessories: Stitched Shape Oval Die, Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon, Rhinestones, Well Written Dies and Subtle Embossing Folder.


Happy Stamping and Creating!!
