Catherine's Birthday

This is the card I sent Catherine for her Birthday, she is another one of Julies Jems that lives North of the border like me,  her Birthday was on Thursday so I should be ok to post it on here,as it should have arrived by now - I hope it got there ok and that she had a lovely day whatever she did.

I used the SU Growing Green stamp set and stuck with two of the' in colours' pear pizzazz and blushing bride, I used my marvellous markers and my waterbrush to colour the images in, the flowers were then cut out and raised on foam pads -the sentiment is from the perfect punches set

Growing Green

We all need thank you cards and it is nice to have a little stash of them handy, so set about adding some to my box to have on hand, White base card matted with Rich razzleberry DSP from the Brights stack, used the delicious matching Rich razzleberry ribbon - this ribbon is amazing it ties so wonderfully well, think i will need to invest in some other colours!

I have stamped the flower in matching SU Rich Razzleberry ink and used my water brush to pull some colour into the petals and then torn the edges to distress it a little, the sentiment is from the very versatile For Everything set.  This would be a quick and simple card to make in batches and would look equally as good in a whole range of colours.

see you soon

Growing Green

Hi everyone

I have had a couple of stamp sets that hadn't seen any ink and decided that the time had come to introduce them to each other!  Both sets are currently available from the SU catalogue and can be ordered through me if you would like them.  The sets, are called Growing Green and buterfly prints and i am sure the detectives amongst you will be able to decide which is which!

I have used the gorgeous  SU Rich razzleberry design series paper from the Brights DSPstack and have used the matching Rich razleberry ink - my favourite thing about Stampin' Up! is that they have everything that co-ordinates,card, papers, ribbons,ink,buttons, pens - it just makes it all soooooo much easier!

i have randomly stamepd around the edge of some whisper white card - and used my waterbrush to pull the colour into the flower design, i have then stamped  2 butterflies on another piece of card,  which have been punched out with the matching punch and have had some pearls added.  The sentiment is from the butterfly prints set and is just perfect.

i have added this card to enfys week long party challenge for day 1 - your card was to have a bug/butterfly etc - hope she likes it x
