still twitterpated!

Wow isn't the weather just glorious! I wish it would remain like this for the summer! I've been sunning myself in the garden and enjoying doing work outside and reading! Ah I love life! 

Okay so today's card is pretty much an exact CASE of a card I found on pinterest, you can see the card here. It was just so pretty and seemed perfect the way it was...

Twitterpated Romance Birthday

Stamp Set: Bordering on Romance, Curly Cute, Apothecary Art

Ink: Basic Grey, Baja Breeze, Island Indigo, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, Riding Hood Red, Basic Black

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Grey, Riding Hood Red

DSP: Twitterpated

Big Shot: Framelits, Adorning Accents Edgelit

Accessories: Pearls

The little frame on the label is done using the Apothecary Art stamp set, just inking up the outer frame. The flowers were stamped, coloured with the stampin' write markers and then cut out for more dimension. I added one simgle little flower by the sentiment to balance the card. The scallop trim is using one of the new edgelits - isn't it pretty with those tiny scallops on the big scallops?! 

Hope you're enjoying the lovely weather!

Happy Stampin',

simply stampin' challenge #60

Simply Stampin' time again guys. This week we are back to a theme challenge once again. And the theme is...

Monochrome with a Splash

When I saw this challenge in the list I thought of yay that sounds like fun, and I had loads of ideas. Then when I actually sat down to make the card all my ideas seemed to abandon me and nothing seemed to work. 

Vellum Doilies

Stamp Set: Delicate Dolies, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Versa Mark

Cardstock: Wisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Velum Paper

Big Shot: Edgelits 

Punch: 1 3/4" Circle, 1 3/8" Circle, Modern Label

Accessories: Pearls

Extras: White Emboss Powder, White Gel Pen

I was thinking about this "lace" card I made for a SSC a little while ago and thought I'd try to do another vellum lace type card. I stamped the doilies all over the vellum and embossed with white embossing powder. I cut out a frame in my card and inserted the vellum. For my "splash" added some elegant eggplant as a doily and for the sentiment. To balance it out I also added a few strips of edgelits near the bottom quarter and a sliver of elegant eggplant cardstock. I added white and eggplant faux stitching and pearls to finish it off. 

What did you think? I hope you enjoyed it and will join in the challenge over at the SSC blog. Thanks for stopping by!
