Happy Day! Love What You Do

Happy Day! Love What You Do

Since the Share What You Love DSP is retiring, I am trying to get it used up so you may see it every day for a while.  My card is created with it and the coordinating stamp set, Love What You Do which is not retiring (I’m so happy).

My inspiration comes from the sketch challenge at Fab Friday Stampin Challenge.       

 

My card starts with a Rich Razzleberry card stock base.  This is a color I rarely use, but after creating this card, I have a feeling it will find more use.  You will probably see it more since I am trying to use up the Share What You Love DSP before time is gone to use it.  Maybe I will start posting two cards a day. A panel of the Share What You Love DSP is used as a background piece.  The art piece is from the Love What You Do stamp set and is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has been cut using the Rectangle Stitched Dies.   The leaves are stamped in Old Olive ink.  A Light Rich Razzleberry Blends was used in coloring the flowers along with the Color Lifter.   I discovered that my Color  Lifer was dry out and I had not even used it before, so I poured a bit of alcohol in a bottle cap and dipped the pen in it.  It worked great.  HomeThe butterflies were cut using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies.  I used scraps from the Share What You Love DSP for cutting.    I used a Fine Tip Glue Pen to dab just a drop of glue to the center of each butterfly.  Pearls from the Basic Jewels Pearls were added to the butterfly bodies and various other places on the art piece. Two different strips of card stock were cut to be placed behind the art piece.  The Share What You Love DSP strip is clipped on one end to make it a banner.  The other is a bit of Blackberry Bliss, I mistakenly put used it instead of Rich Razzleberry.  Guess I need to make sure each color is in the proper folder.  The art piece has a Rich Razzleberry mat, you would think I would have noticed that when I put the two short strips behind the art piece.  The art piece is popped on using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is from the Incredible Like You stamp set (retiring June 3) and is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I masked off some of the words to say what I wanted.

 Share What You Love DSP is used on the flap of the envelope so it will match the card front.

Thanks for stopping by today,  I hope you like and can find a bit of inspiration as I did in creating this card.  I saw a similar card on Pinterest and happy I remembered what I could.  It was a beautiful card, I should have saved it but must have gotten side-tracked and didn’t and when I try it again, I could not find, so if you know the person who has a similar card please let me know so I can give credit to that person.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew April Blog Hop

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew April Blog Hop

Welcome everyone—it’s that time —  the second Tuesday of the month— and that means it is time for our Inkin’ Krew monthly team blog hop.  It is going to be exciting to see what all the other team members have created.  I know you are going to see lots of ideas and inspiration for your own creations.   Our theme for April is “Feminine”  we can interpret any way we choose!  Now on to the hop!  Enjoy!!

I have chosen the Beauty Abounds stamp set for my creation today.  I’m hoping it passes the feminine test with the pink and lavender.

One of the challenges for today is the Paper Players as my card has lavender checks.

And…  the Sisterhood of Crafters with Celebrate Spring as their challenge.  Butterflies are spring.

And last but not least… Fusion  Sketch  Challenge.  

My card is basically Whisper White card stock, as the base is Whisper White and the focal art panel is Whisper White with a border from the Gingham Gala 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and a top header from a panel of Highland Heather card stock that has been embossed with the Subtle TIEF.

This looks like an easy card, but for some reason, it was not so with me, I kept having to stamp the image again and could not decide on which butterflies to use. After three tries I had success.

  I used the Delicate Lace Edgelits to make a lace border between the Whisper White focal panel and the Gingham Gala lavender panel.  The image was stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on the Whisper White panel.  I colored the flower flourish using Light Highland Heather, Light Balmy Blue, and Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends pens.  For the butterflies, I used Coastal Cabana ink and Melon Mambo ink.  I stamped the Melon Mambo ink off once to give it a softer pink color instead of a bright pink.

The butterflies are popped around the flourish using Mini Stampin Dimensionals that are cut in half as the butterflies are too small for even a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.  The greeting is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a leftover circle from the March Paper Pumpkin.  It too is popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A bow is made using Whisper White Twine and popped on the flourish with a Glue Dot.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Highland Heather on a panel of Whisper White card stock and matted on a panel of Highland Heather card stock and then adhered to the Whisper White card base.  A butterfly is stamped three times in the corner of the panel without re-inking the stamp.
