Petal Palette Collage

Hi Crafters,

I'm back with my favourite all time Stampin' Up! stamp set!  You guessed it - Petal Palette.  There is just so much versatility in this set and I've not even scratched the surface yet!

Today's card is one that I kept thinking about making and finally I've sat down and got creative.  I looks slightly like what I had in mind but they rarely turn out exactly as I've pictured.

I created a card blank in Fresh Fig cardstock and used Crumb Cake for my background which was stamped in Archival Basic Black using the bird image from the Petal Palette stamp set.  I ran this through the Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder which creates a 3D effect.  Next I layered up my focal elements - half a doily inked in Fresh Fig, a punch Decorative Ribbon Border in Fresh Fig and two of the largest circles from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies set.  I stamped the bird again in Fresh Fig and fussy cut using small scissors and then layered onto a Very Vanilla scalloped circle.  

Dont' forget to use the Host Code on the right if you are placing an order under £150.  You will receive an extra special something from me too!  If you have any questions, you can reach me by email or on Facebook or Instagram.

Happy crafting,
Rachel x

Global Stamping Friends Anniversary Blog Hop

Hi Crafters,

We are back at Global Stamping Friends for our One Year Anniversary!  I haven't been part of the blog hop for that long but it's a great achievement and we are celebrating with another hop!

Our theme for this blog hop is anniversary and I've gone traditional with a twist!  

I absolutely adore this paper and knew I had to use it for my card.  I added the scalloped border from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits dies.  To create the crosshatch effect, I used some new washi that will be available in the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue launching on 1 September.  It's pretty special!  

I heat embossed my sentiment in gold and added some leaves from a new Leaf Punch in Pear Pizzazz to match the colours of the DSP.  I used Pool Party for the background piece.  To hop to the next blog simply click the next arrow and head on over to Christina's blog for more inspiration.

I really hope you can join us for our One Year Anniversary blog hop and comment along the way.  A full blog list is shown below.

Happy hopping,
