Oh So Eclectic on Dot To Dot

I had a bit of my Dot To Dot Brusho background left over after making my baby shower card, so I put it to good use!

Using up the left overs! 
A cheerful and pretty card feating the Dot To Dot embossing folder and Oh So Eclectic stamp set.

The base card is So Saffron with a little strip of (leftover) Lovely Lipstick.

The greeting is from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set, white heat embossed and punch out with the Everyday Label Punch.

The flowers are made with the Oh So Eclectic Bundle and the stems are coloured with a Call Me Clover marker.

Oh So Eclectic Brusho

I made this card to use up a strip of Whisper White card that I'd dipped into a remaining pool of Brusho on my desk after making this card.

Brusho and Oh So Eclectic Bundle

I'd already dipped another strip into the ink (and used it to make this card) and then added a bit more water, so this strip was a little too washed out and blended to be interesting in its own right.

So I used the Background Bits and Oh So Eclectic stamp sets with Island Indigo ink to create a little interest.  I used some Glitter Enamel Dots for flower centres.

I added a flower made with the Oh So Eclectic Bundle and Powder Pink cardstock and Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper.  It has a Metal Rimmed Pearl for the centre and anchors the greeting banner.

The base card is made from Island Indigo cardstock and there are layers of various pieces of Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper.

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

Whether you are starting the blog hop here at my blog, Stephanie Fischer - The Crafty Thinker, or have come from the person before me, be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

Although I'm not a scrapbooker, I have chosen one of Susan's gorgeous memory keeping projects to CASE .... but I've made it into a 5.5" square card.

A great layout can be put to any purpose and using pieces of printed paper makes for a very quick and easy card!

To a base card of Whisper White Thick cardstock, I've added a variety of offcuts from the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper and the Fresh Florals paper stack.

The rectangular focal is a piece that was already sitting on my desk - I made it to use some excess Embossing Paste that I had coloured with Tranquil Tide ink for this card.

The large flower is made from Peekaboo Peach and Calypso Coral cardstock.  The three smaller flowers are made using this method but with Calypso Coral ink.

Embossing paste provides such great depth and textural contrast

I hope you've enjoyed this card and I welcome your comments.

Mediterranean Pattern Party

One of our good friends, my husband's golf buddy, is having a birthday this week and is also preparing for a major European holiday.  So I decided to include a Mediterranean element in his birthday card!

Mediterranean themed masculine birthday card

I added a drop of Smoky Slate ink to some embossing paste and made the background with some Basic Gray cardstock and one of the Pattern Party masks.

The image from Mediterranean Moments was stamped with Basic Black ink and watercoloured before I cut it out with one of the Stitched Shapes framelits and layered it onto Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla panels.

The greeting is from Butterfly Basics .  The foliage was left over from another card and found its home here!  I stamped the image from Oh So Eclectic in Basic Gray ink onto Smoky Slate cardstock and cut them out with the matching die in the Eclectic Layers Thinlits (buy as a bundle to save 10%).

I made a mask with window sheet and die from Eclectic Layers to use on
the flower with Embossing Paste coloured with Smoky Slate ink

The flower in the corner inside the card was also left over from another card!

Detailed Floral Stencilled White on Black

The other day I made this card with embossing paste and a stencil I made with Window Sheet and the Detailed Floral Thinlit.  I made a black and white panel at the same time which I've used in today's card.

A touch of Powder Pink brightens up an otherwise monochromatic card

I added the Basic Gray stripes to the Powder Pink layer by temporarily adhering little strips of cardstock to the panel as a mask and sponging with Basic Gray ink.  I added a small piece of Basic Gray cardstock under the pink and grey panel to put a full stop under that section.

The card base is made with Whisper White Thick A4 cardstock. 
A card suitable for any occasion from birthday to sympathy

I stamped the flowers and foliage from the Oh So Eclectic stamp set with Basic Gray ink onto a mix of Basic Gray and Smoky Slate cardstock pieces and cut them out with the matching Eclectic Layers Thinlits (buy as a bundle to save 10%).  

I had already created a mask for the flowers for this card and used it again with embossing paste coloured with a drop of Smoky Slate ink.  When the embossing paste was dry, I added some shading by watercolouring with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The faux metal medallion made with silver heat embossing impressed with a
black-inked stamp

To create the faux metallic medallion, I added four layers of silver heat embossing to a small piece of cardstock.  Before I heated the fifth (and final) layer, I inked up the stamp with Basic Black ink.  While the silver embossing was still warm and soft, I stamped the greeting.  Once it was cool, I cut out with one of the Stitched Shapes framelits and added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I had some flowers and foliage left over, which I used on the card that I'll share on tomorrow's post.

Thank you for visiting.
