Hello, Crafters.
I’ve been itching to use this design from the Share What You
Love Designer Series Paper (DSP)! I love the Rich Razzleberry
and Crumb Cake colour combo! I used the triple flower stem as
my image to partner this DSP, because the image is a very
unfussy line art image.
I debated whether to colour the flower heads using the small background stamp, but I decided to use my Rich Razzlebery Marker Pen to colour them. Once I’d painted them I stamped over with the whole image using the large background stamp, using Crumb Cake Ink stamped off once.
I also decided to stamp the flowers twice and then I fussy cut them,
so I could adhere them on top of the original flowers using
Dimensionals. The reason I thought about this was that I wondered if
stamping all over with the background stamp with stamped off Crumb
Cake Ink, might distort the colour of the original flowers in the image.
As it happened, I needn’t have been concerned as the Crumb
Cake was so light and my colouring with the Marker Pen was so
rich, there was no discernable affect. I chose the sentiment from the
Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set because it’s so small; I didn’t want a
sentiment that would over power the image.
I haven’t decorated the inside of the card, but I’ll finish
that off today. I added a medium-sized Basic Rhinestone at the
base of each flower, and a line of three under the sentiment.
I’m finding that the Suite that’s on Early Release this year, is much
easier to work with than last year’s Eastern Palace which I found
quite a challenge. I’ll really loving this Share What You Love Suite
because I think it’s so very versatile! I hope you’re enjoying it too!
Untill tomorrow, happy crafting.
JanB.
Absolutely love everything about this card, including the colour mix … it's simple and just perfect in my personal estimation! Love that DSP!! Wow! Looking forward to this whole suite. TFS
Hi, Geraldine. This year's early release is so much easier to promote than last year's i.e. Eastern Palace. There's just so much that can be done with Share What You Love! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
A beautiful card. Love the new suite.
Hi, Ina. It's a fabulous suite and I'm thoroughly enjoying promoting it! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
Beautiful Jan. I also do ribbon work I wonder how the velvet ribbon would look as a flower.
Hi, Donata. It's not a technique I do, but I imagine a velvet ribbon would look stunning. If you make one please share it in my Facebook Group called Happy crafting. I'd love to see them. ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
A gorgeous DSP the colours are so great together. I think that this is going to be a very popular suite this year because as you say Jan it is very versatile. I have it on my WISH LIST but I will be waiting for the big man in the Red Suit to help me out. Keep those designs coming Jan. :O)
