I was very impressed with the results, even though I'm still learning how to use them. I was most impressed with the fact that you can use them on ordinary Whisper White cardstock and they don't cause the paper to pill or warp or separate. Here's how my entry turned out:
- The flower stamp is new in the 2014/15 Annual Catalogue and it is made for using with the Stampin' Blendabilities. It's called Blended Bloom and it only comes in wood mount. I inked it up with Memento Tuxedo Black, which is a water-based ink that won't bleed when using alcohol-based markers like Stampin' Blendabilities. I used Whisper White cardstock. I used the Coastal Cabana trio to do the colouring the bloom and the Old Olive set for the center.
- I fussy cut the flower. Normally, I leave a narrow margin around the flower, but it just didn't look right, so I cut it out right on the outside of the stamp line and it looked much better.
- Love this colour palette of Coastal Cabana, the new Hello Honey, and Baked Brown Sugar.
- The sentiment is from a new set from the new catalogue called Something To Say. It has some really versatile greetings in it.
- The DSP is also new. It's called Lullaby, and it has quite a mix of designs. It was the perfect choice for this card because of the diagonal ribbon on the Baked Brown Sugar panel. The ribbon is 3/8" Stitched Satin ribbon in all the new In Colours. Here, you see the Hello Honey version.
Here are this week's weekly deals:
I know I'm going to pick up some more of the burlap ribbon, for sure!
