Instructions

This challenge blog hop utilises the sketch above as the basis for the projects we have all created. I combined the sketch with Sale-a-Bration products – “A Touch of Ink” stamp set and the “Oh So Ombre” Designer Series Paper.

I turned the sketch around, added a layer of the Granny Apple Green ombre paper and a strip of the dotty paper. The flowers and leaves from the stamp set were stamped onto the shimmery white oval with Stazon. These were coloured with Granny Apple Green and Rococo Rose ink.

The butterfly was stamped seperately onto a piece of shimmery white card, painted and then cut out. This was added with dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped onto a piece of Vellum.

A tab of Granny Apple Green spotted paper was added and a banner of Rococo Rose DSP, that had been embossed with the Dainty Diamond Embossing Folder.

The little resin hearts were coloured with Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blend. The larger heart was punched out of Rococo Rose card stock using the Dog Builder punch.

Another Sale-a-Bration Card

Cards created with the Sale-a-Bration sets "Touch of Ink" and "Darling Donkey"

The beautiful butterfly card was created on a Facebook Live, along with a second card. This second card featured the “Darling Donkey” stamp set. Again the images were water coloured with our fabulous water painters. This is such a fun stamp set.
