Thanks for stopping by today. For todays post, Im playing along with the Pals Paper Arts challenge number 271. Its a colour challenge! Below is the inspiration;

Once Id settled on the stamp set, I guess it was watercolour all the way - Butterfly, DSP and sentiment.


Have you used the framelits before? Here is a tip - either stamp the body AFTER you have cut it out. Or, an alternative it to cut a copy of the body out using the framelits and cut the wings off and stick it on top. I added some crystal effects to make the body appear 3d. Did you notice the antennae? I wanted to stamp them, but i thought that it would look cooler if I used some of the Silver Cording Trim.


I stamped the sentiment in all three colours using the sponge dauber on Vellum. Then, I clear embossed the sentiment to make it stand out a little. The burlap and the wooden heart were nice accompaniments to this card.

Hi There and thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Have you subscribed to receive my posts via email?

Now, back to this post - I'm playing along with a colour challenge over on the Pals Paper Arts Challenge Blog. Below is the inspiration for the week;


And, here is the card I came up with;


This is a mini-card. I made the card size match the stamp set. The stamp set is the 'Silhouettes and Script' and is a Host/ess Set.

The pear is stamped in Always Artichoke and embossed in Iridescent Ice on Shimmery White cardstock. The cardstock is an awesome alternative to using whisper white and very vanilla.


The 'Farmers Market' Designer Series Paper fit perfectly with this card.


I used the Itty Bitty Framelits for the small sentiment. It fit perfectly. Also, I found the linen thread to fit perfectly, and used the mini-stapler to fix the thread down.

Now, to the card - I was impressed by the challenge presented by the sketch over at Pals Paper Arts this week. The work done by the design team was amazing; and, it inspired me to have a go. This was the sketch for the week;


Great sketch Nicole. So, here is the card i came up with;


There are many things about this card that I like. I actually am amazed that I used these stamps as they are stamps I would usually overlook. But, they are actually from three different sets and they work great together.

Base

I love this background stamp. However, I have used it before in black and it was a little too overpowering. So, using Soft Sky really gave the effect I was after.

Helm

I had to google the name. I would have called it a 'Ship Steering Wheel' - I tried three different size framelets from the 'Circles' set. And, I added two of them to the card. Then, I cut three strips and assembled a full size helm, which I then cut in half.

Compass, Ship

These stamp sets suited the theme perfectly. I stamped in black. But, it didn't pop as I hoped. So, I added some clear emboss powder and it popped!

Celebrate

I tried a number of different sentiments on this card, but none of them worked well. So, when I tried the timber element, I was happy. This usually has a natural timber colour, but something didn't seem right. So, I added some basic black ink to it and it looked better. But, it wasn't quite there. So, I added some clear emboss powder over the black ink and it popped in the way i imagined.
