ELEGANT CARDS WITH THE PEACEFUL POPPIES DSP

Hello and welcome.  Thank you for stopping by my blog post today.  

Today I would like to share with you a beautiful and simple card created with the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper (DSP) and some of the elements from the Peaceful Poppies Elements.

I knew as soon as I saw these gorgeous papers that they would definitely be  one of my first purchases from the January-June Mini Catalogue.   

I started with a piece of the DSP and chose a card base of Blackberry Bliss.

From the elements I chose some of the flowers and and leaves from the vellum pieces and added some colour with markers.  I also stamped a sentiment on a Black Banner piece and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

To finish off I added a small bow created from the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (another must have on my list) and added some Wink of Stella to the flowers.

Voila, one simple and elegant card completed.

Working on my next project now with these gorgeous papers.  How do you think this one will turn out?  So far this is as far as I have gotten.  I will post the finished card soon.  For this one I plan to add in lots of embellishments etc.  

These products aren't available to purchase until the 3rd January, however, if you would like to Join My Team, you can get any of the new products right now.  Just ask me how?

JUST ADD INK CHALLENGE #451 ... "INSPIRATION"

Today's card has been created as part of this week's Just Add Ink Challenge #451 "Inspiration".  

This photo and the colours are just gorgeous and just my sort of colours.  I really, really, really love the soft colour palette.

Here is the card I created:

My inspiration came from the colours and I knew instantly I wanted to use Mint Macaron and Powder Pink.

I wanted to create something with a very soft and pretty feel so the stamp set I chose to use is His Grace from the Occasions Catalogue.  I originally bought this set so I would have a religious set I could create Easter cards with, however, the flower and leaves image is so versatile that it can be used for any occasion.

Steps to create this card were:

1. Using Mint Macaron ink stamp the flower and leaves image twice on to the Whisper White layer.  Using a Blender Pen I lightly coloured the leaves with Mint Macaron Ink and the flowers in Powder Pink Ink.
2. Die cut two different size hearts and "Happy" from Mint Macaron Cardstock and "Birthday" and a Butterfly from Powder Pink Cardstock.
3. Adhere the small heart at the bottom left flat and the larger heart at the top right with dimensionals.
4. Adhere the "Happy Birthday" and Butterfly as shown in the photo.
5. Add some diamantes to the body of the Butterfly.
6. Adhere the Whisper White layer to the Powder Pink layer flat and then to the Mint Macaron Base Card with dimensionals.

These are the supplies I have used:

His Grace Cling Stamp Set [148676] $34.00	Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies [148527] $61.00	Well Written Framelits Dies [148534] $70.00	Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies [148536] $68.00	Mint Macaron A4 Cardstock [138344] $14.75
