Stampin with Shirley G

Here it is Monday, and I hope this week is much better than last. Last Monday we had a flood at our house and it has been a mess all last week and there is still cleaning to be done to finish up all the mess that happened.  My washing machine took revenge on me and let me have it big time.  Didn’t have time for one card until yesterday and then I made one for a little fellow that has been having a hard time.

My card for today is a combination of Crazy 4 Challenges and Tic, Tac, Toe Challenge 044. I used the top row across.

I started with a Rich Razzleberry card base. I cut a mat from the Painted with Love DSP. I cut a wedge out of it by marking from corner to corner on the reverse side, so I would know how far to cut the wedge.

          On the Rich Razzleberry  wedge that shows after adhering the Painted With Love DSP, I stamped using Versa Mark the flowers from the Love What You Do stamp set, (The early release for customers runs 1 – 31 May.)  I then used the white watercolor pencil from the Watercolor Pencil packet to color the flowers.  I thought the flowers would be white, but they have come out a lilac color.  I suppose the white on top of the Rich Razzleberry turns it to that color.

       I also stamp a second flower on a scrap of Rich Razzleberry, after coloring it with the white watercolor pencil, I fussy cut it and popped it half on the Rich Razzleberry wedge and on the Painted  With Love DSP.  I added a bit of bling using the Enamel Shapes Embellishments.

The greeting is from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set, stamped on a scrap of Whisper White paper and popped on the Painted With Love DSP.

         The inside sentiment also from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set is stamped on a panel of Whisper White and adhered to the card base with liquid glue.  I stamped the flower from the Love What You Do stamp set on the panel below the sentiment using Rich Razzleberry ink.

This is the card without a bow.  I like it better I believe with a bow.  What do you think?

That’s it for today.  Hope you enjoy visiting, come again!

Product Used for This Card

It has rained here for the past three days so this is for all those who are having rain!

I love the colors on this card.  My design layout is from SIP Challenge #145.

I like the design of this card, the rose vine with the bird.  It has a very calming effect I believe. The bird makes me think of sitting on my mother-in-law’s front porch watching the birds in the rose bushes.  A very peaceful feeling indeed.

I started with a Tranquil Tide card base.  Cut 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2.  The mat is a panel of Delightful Daisy DSP by Stampin Up.  It is cut 4 x 5.  This is popped on the Tranquil Tide card base. I wrapped a few strands of Linen Thread around the Delightful Daisy DSP.

The art piece with the vine and rose was in a stack of cards I received as a gift when I left my job that was supposedly done away with, only to find it had been given to a board member’s wife.  We’ll save that story for another day.  I colored it using Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, and a Blender Pen. I then fussy cut it, but you know how fussy cuts look there is always a little white border that seems to glare at you.  I used a Blender Pen with Tranquil Tide ink that had been rubbed off until it was faint, then I went over the white edges so they would not glare at me.  I popped this over the linen thread.

The bird was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  I then colored it with Tranquil Tide ink using a Blender Pen.  I colored the beak using a Daffodil Delight Stampin Write Marker.  I fussy cut this also and popped it on the rose which was popped on the panel from the Delighful Daisy DSP.

I cut the decorative piece from a small piece of Whisper White using one of the Thinlits from the Petal Palette Stamp Bundle.  I used liquid glue to adhere it to the panel from the Delightful Daisy DSP.

The inside sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up stamp set that was free during Sale-A-Bration a few years back.  I used it at my friend’s house, so do not remember the name of it, but it was one of those sets you had three steps to make the flowers.

That’s all for today.  Come again and thanks for stopping by.
