What a Beautiful Day for Petal Passion!

I have successfully adopted the #loveitchopit mantra and haven't been guilty of hoarding pretty papers for a long time now!  Instead, I'm finding I have lots of little offcuts that I don't want to waste so I'm tending to build cards around them!

Layering is a great way to use up oddments of pretty paper

This card is all about using up pieces of the gorgeous Petal Passion Designer Series Paper!

I watercoloured one strip and then layered away with Flirty Flamingo cardstock - one of the retiring 2016-2018 In-Colours that I'm trying to use up as well!

To finish the card I stamped the flower from Beautiful Day onto Flirty Flamingo cardstock with Basic Black Archival ink, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set it.  I then watercoloured with Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral inks to add some depth to the flower.  For the leaf, I simply painted over the Flirty Flamingo card with Tranquil Tide ink.

There's a Clear Faceted Gem in the centre of the flower for extra "oomph"!

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Special Guest: Rachel Tessman

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters' Blog Hop with our Special Guest stamper,Rachel Tessman - we are thrilled to have Rachel join us this month and so excited to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by her.

I chose to CASE this pretty card because I felt its simple layout would lend itself well to showcasing a new 2018-2020 In Colour and a sneak peek of a gorgeous new Designer Vellum.

Graceful Glass Vellum and Blueberry Bushel - one of the gorgeous new 2018-2020 In-Colours

This card features one of the new In-Colours called Blueberry Bushel and the stunning printed vellum pack of papers called Graceful Glass which is from the Graceful Glass Suite.  In the next few days I'll be sharing a card I've made using the matching Stained Glass Thinlits dies. 

The Graceful Glass Vellum has been coloured on the back with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers

Since I don't yet have Stampin' Blends in the  In-Colours, I've used some of my existing ones.  It's not a total match but it'll do!

I've placed Whisper White card behind the vellum pieces to show them to their best advantage.  I adhered the strip by sponging a light coat of Liquid MultiPurpose Glue to the back of the vellum.  To adhere the square, I used glue dots strategically placed behind the embellishments.

The inside of the card is decorated with the matching Painted Glass stamp set

I decorated the inside of the card using the matching Painted Glass stamp set and used one of the four greetings - love that font!

I'll be sending this card, with a little gift, as a thank you to a customer.
