Tea Time

Posted on February 28, 2015 10:58 AM by Julie Comment

Today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC482) is a Pinterest Board full of Tea images. I didn’t have to go far to pick my inspiration…I chose THIS set. Tea sets usually make me think of lavenders & purples so it really appealed to me.

The tea set was stamped & colored very sparingly with Copics, then die cut & I used a pale lavender Copic around the edge. I used a scallop die twice to cut the lower edge of the larger white panel & also edge the top scallop w/ the same marker. On the top of this panel, I lined up the alphabet dies, die cut them, then trimmed the top down. I used the actual die cut letters, cut in half, for the top part & added a little aqua Copic to them. The tea border was stamped across the bottom of the die cut lavender panel & I added a die cut bow & tea rose on the side. The edge of the large lavender panel was also shaded a bit w/ the lavender marker.The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

This card is also on the Serendipity Blog today because Serendipity is one of the sponsors of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop organized by Amy Tsuruta from Tsuruta Designs. You might want to click the link to the Serendipity Blog and check it out. They’re giving away some really fabulous prizes!

Hot Pink Birthday Flowers

A big congrats to Sue, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! Sue has a wonderful gallery and it took me quite a while to chose one, but I kept coming back to THIS card. I kept the colors and most of the layout, but I used different images, reversed the colors and made mine a birthday card.

For my card, I white embossed the Flower Pops Background on the hot pink paper. I couldn’t find the exact shade of hot pink ink so for the white squares, I tapped the flowers on 2 of the pink inks on the berry blaze pad, then on 2 of the red-orange inks of the desert heat pad. These were all die cut w/ squares then attached to a white layer. The greeting was stamped the same way & I colored some white ribbon to match.

Here’s a look at the stamped inside.

Congrats again, Sue! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Serendipity SSCB#40 pt 2 – All You Need is Love!

Posted on February 18, 2015 12:00 AM by Julie 6 Comments

Welcome to the February Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! This month the challenge is All You Need is Love! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. For the Design Team, we have the added challenge of using vellum. The sale this week is Buy 3, Get the 4th one free sale! It runs through 2/25. The lowest priced item in the cart is free! And as always, we have a have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

All you need is Bunny Love! While I love the look of vellum, it can be a little hard to handle and even harder to attach. With my large vellum overlay, it ended up looking a little wavy (one of the features of vellum after it’s been heat embossed, lol). It doesn’t look anywhere near this wavy in person, but the camera captures things the naked eye doesn’t always see. So anyway, I die cut the vellum with a pierced rectangle then white embossed the Easter Flower Corner in the lower left and colored it with Copics on the back side. The greeting was also white embossed and I put a white die cut Bunny under the vellum but on top of the pink checked paper. I fussy cut a dk pink bunny to put behind the white one so the check pattern wouldn’t show through the cut outs. It just looked better. I added a white Daisy Garden die cut on top & a few satiny sequins to finish it.

Here’s the inside.

And these are the Copics I used.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Easter Flower Corner 842F, Somebunny Loves You 1243D
