Get Sketchy Challenge #36

It's time for another Get Sketchy Challenge. When I saw this sketch I thought it was a perfect chance to make more tissue paper flowers. Practice makes perfect right?



This time I inked up a brayer with blush blossom ink and rolled it over a big piece of tissue paper. I folded it up and cut out several sizes of the blossom nestabilities. I layered them and attached a button using SU linen thread. I then gathered all the layers up around the button sponged the edges with blush blossom ink. I then flattened the flowers out and attached them to the card using the linen thread.



Supplies Used:
Stamps: Verve Stamps: Flowers of Tomorrow
Ink: SU Chocholate Chip, Tim Holtz Old Paper Distress Ink, Blush Blossom
Cardstock: SU Always Artichoke, Blush Blossom
Paper: Basic Grey Capella
Accessories: Basic Grey Capella Buttons, SU Ribbon, White Tissue Paper, Nestabilities: Blossom, Squares and Fancy Tags, SU Rich Regal Brads, SU Linen Thread

Guess what I made another card using Basic Grey's New Capella paper. I am really digging this stuff. This time it's for the Crazy for Challenge blog, challenge # 34. There were no rules on the challange for the design team members, but we followers do have a rule. We must select one of the projects and CASE (Copy and Share Everything) it. I chose to CASE the card from Frances Byrne. The Capella paper goes well with a number of stampin up colours that are retiring. For this card I chose to use blush blossom and mellow moss. I coloured Stampavie's Bernadette Admiring Spring Flowers with my copics. I used my Copics airbrushing system for the sky. I have not had much practise with the system yet, but I think the sky turned out pretty good. I sponged the edge with Mellow Moss cardstockwith Mellow Moss ink to give it more dimension. I also sponged the edges of the Capella paper with Mellow Moss. In following with the sponging all of the edged theme, I sponged the edges of the blush blossom pieces with blush blossom ink. I added tiny roses from The Art Life Shop and $1 satin ribbon from target. I added a flower charm to the ribbon, but it is hard to see.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Stampavie Bernadette Admiring Spring Flowers (sentiment also from Stampavie)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Soft Mellow Moss, Blush Blossom
Card Stock: Mellow Moss, Blush Blossom, Gina K Pure Luxury
Paper: Basic Grey Capella
Accessories: Mini Roses-The Art of Life Shop, Ribbon-Target, Nestabilities, Flower Charm-my collected charm stash.

Cute Card Thursday

I love the new Basic Grey Capella line. So much so, that you will be seeing several cards with this paper. This card is for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge. I sponged the edges of all the different pieces with Pumice Stone Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I love the two big flowers. I need more practice and I am planning on getting tons. I used papertrey Inks blossom flower dies and cut a folded piece of tissue paper. I attached the various layers using a build a brad from stampin up. I spritzed some watered down Tim Holtz Distress reinker in Vintage Velvet on the flowers. I used my heat gun to dry them. I separated the layers and crunched them up to make them look more realistic. I added some organza ribbon that was a surprise find in the dollar section of Target. I like it so much I might have to get some more!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Stampavie (Image and sentiment)
