Now would you believe the colours for all my creations were inspired by my winter jacket? Bet you have a pretty good idea which colour will be included then! No not purple but a close run second favourite a lovely dusky pink combined with a sultry grey.
I prepared a trio of atc cards by using the Fun Flowers stencil - one all pink, one all grey and one a combo of the two colours. I then trimmed them down and matted them onto matching card stock.
Out came the Fun Flowers stamps and I hand cut or punched them, popped them on pads and added them to the cards. Last of all I added a word sentiment using Uniko's Simply Said Blocks.
And these tiny pieces of creativity pretty much set the scene for my next two cards. I stamped the large flower and then added two more stamps from the set. Then I coloured and hand cut round the large flowe, popped it on pads and placed it over a die cut window.
I decided to stick with the same sentiment set and added a happy birthday and matted the whole thing onto matching pink card stock.
My final share for today uses the punched smaller flowers from the set placed over the stencilled background flowers.
This time I used a grey base card and added a sentiment and line of hearts from Simply Said Blocks.
I finished off by adding small enamel hearts to echo the stamped hearts.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko Fun Flowers, Simply Said Blocks
Inks: SU, sweet sugarplum, smoky slate
Dies: MFT Die-namics, rectangle peek-a-boo window
Punch: Woodware, circles
Card: SU sweet sugarplum
Pens: Copic, C3, RV63
Enamel shapes: SU, sweet sugarplum

Wow Jane! You made such a bunch of beauties - with only two supplies and two colours! Hopefully I find some more crafting time this weekend - your window card inspired me immediatelly! (Just wrote a scatch of the idea cause I'm not sure if my kids let me go to my craft table soon... we need to do some more Easter decoration first)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Greetings from Wiebke

ReplyDeleteGASP! Breath-taken-away and swooning over the elegant, stylish dusty pink-and-grey delights you've created! Not only are your cards incredibly pretty, but you've showcased the versatility of the stamps and stencil in both solo and paired performances. Love them all!

WOW, Jane ! So many beauties in this post ! First of all I love your colour combo choice, pink and grey really are beautiful together. I have to check in my wardrobe if I can find a gorgeous colour combo too (but I already know that I will find blue and more blue !). What a clever idea to cut the flowers with a round punch and to add them on top of the stencilled ones. Fabulous designs and showcase for these two versatile products. Have a great weekend. Hugs xx
