Entry for the Global Design Project Challenge 275 - Love

Hi crafters,

I'm delighted to enter today's card into the Global Design Project's latest challenge.  

I knew I wanted to use the new True Love Designer Series Paper and the floral images were perfect for this theme.  I paired the image with products from the Annual Catalogue and Sale-a-Bration.  

I created a card base with thick white cardstock and then cut a panel of the Blackberry Bliss Oh So Ombre DSP to the same size.  I ran the panel through the Painted Texture Embossing Folder using my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.  I wrapped a piece of the Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon around the spine of the card, adding a knot near to the top left.  I used Purple Posy cardstock and the Stitched Nested Labels Dies to create the panel behind my floral image.  The floral image is from the True Love DSP and I coloured it using Stampin' Blends in Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Mango Melody and Old Olive.  Now that I've coloured the image once, I think my colouring would improve for next time.    Here's hoping anyway!  I ran an embossing tool over the back of the image to curve the flowers and added Stampin' Dimensionals behind to pop it off the card.  I used Purple Posy cardstock with the Well Written Dies to create the sentiment.  I cut three sentiments and stacked these up for dimension.  To finish, I placed some Champagne Rhinestone Jewels on the card.  

I would like to enter this card into the Global Design Project Theme Challenge #275 - Love.

Happy crafting, Rachel x

Global Stamping Friends - Love Blog Hop

Hi Crafters,

The wonderful Global Stamping Friends are back with another international blog hop to inspire your creativity.  This month we are feeling the love.

My project is a wedding congratulations card and I've gone a bit rustic!

I started with Cherry Cobbler card blank for my base card.  I stamped the Tree Rings background stamp in Crumb Cake ink onto Crumb Cake cardstock and then roughed up the edges with a pair of Paper Snips.  This is a really easy way to add texture.  I tore a piece of vellum to create a border and then heat embossed "Congratulations" from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set in gold.  My topper image is from the Always and Forever stamp set which co-ordinates perfectly with the background.  I used Very Vanilla cardstock and heat embossed in gold again.  Taking the smallest heart die from the Sweet and Sassy Framelits, I cut a Cherry Cobbler heart to match the card blank and raised this up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  

I hope you have been inspired by our Blog Hop and are feeling the love too.  Up next is a fabulous project from Amber.  Just click on the image below to keep hopping.  If you get lost there is a list below showing all of the participants this month.  

Happy crafting,
