Best Mother Ever - SUO Challenge #142

Sale-a-bration (SAB) is moving along at a very rapid pace.  The challenge this week is to create something using SAB products.  Since Mother's Day will be upon us before we know it, I thought I would use one of the stamps to make a Mother's Day card.

The products I used:  "What I Love", Botanical Garden Vellum, and Metallic Tape

The flowers were made using the following 3 colours:  Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, and Rose Red.  They were then cut out, the edges sponged with Rose Red ink, and mounted using a dimensional to a 2 1/2" Whisper white circle.  The bird builder punch was used to punch out leaves/branches.  They were sponged with Old Artichoke ink before adhering them to the bottom of the flowers.

The base card is top folded Rose Red cardstock, layered with Whisper White cardstock embossed with the butterfly embossing folder,.  After attaching this embossed layer to the card front, it was lightly brushed with Rose Red ink.  A layer of Botanical Garden Vellum was adhered to the bottom half.  A piece of Metallic Tape was placed at the top end of the vellum layer.

A piece of Rose Red card stock was die cut using the Apothecary die framelet.  The circle was adhered partly over this die cut piece.

Some small flowers were die cut using the metallic tape and added to the middle of each flower, followed by a rhinestone.

Three more small flowers were die cut from the vellum and adhered to the lower right corner of the card.  Rhinestones were added.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: What I Love, And Many More
Inks: Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Rose Red, Always Artichoke
Papers: Rose Red, Whisper White, Botanical Garden vellum, Old Olive
Accessories: 2 1/2" circle punch, Word Window punch, Modern Word Label punch, Bird Builder Punch, small flowers (from accessory pack), rhinestones, metallic tape, Butterfly embossing folder, Apothecary die/framelit.

Hello My Friend - Try Stampin' on Tuesday #256

For this card, made for the challenge with  Try Stampin on Tuesday I used as many SAB products as possible - DSP, and 2 stamp sets. To make this card, I put the sketch on its side.

The card base is Melon Mambo, layered with Whisper White, and then Perfectly Artistic DSP which I stamped all over with a small flower from "Hello" and Melon Mambo ink. 

Using the circles framelit, a large circle was die cut using the "Color Me Irrestibably" DSP with the pattern of the rain drops in it.  A sponge was used to apply a bit of Pink Pirouette, and a bit of Melon Mambo in a random pattern on this circle.

On a small Whisper White rectangle, the word "Hello" was stamped using Black Memento ink.  A flower was stamped using Melon Mambo ink just above the word on the right. Melon Mambe was used to sponge the edges.  This was adhered to the circle using dimensionals.  Then below the circle the rest of the sentiment "My Friend" was stamped .

On a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock, two flowers and two leaf stems were stamped - the flowers using 3 step stamping.  The colours, in order of usage, Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, and Melon Mambo.  The middle of each flower was stamped with Melon Mambo.  Old Olive was used to stamp the leaf stems.  The flowers and leaves were cut out by hand.

One flower was adhered directly to the card front at the edge of the circle at the lower right.  A green leaf was attached to the flower before it was glued down.  The second flower was added using dimensionals, and the accompanying leaf attached to the card front.

Wink of Stella (clear) was applied to the flower centers.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: What I Love, Hello

Inks: Black Memento, Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, Old Olive

Papers: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Perfectly Artistic DSP, Color Me Irrestiably DSP

Accessories: Circles framelits, dimensionals, Wink of Stella glitter brush (clear)

Thoughts of You - Hand - Stamped Sentiments # 277

For the sketch challenge with Hand Stamped Sentiments  a few more sneak peaks of the new catalogue products will be revealed.  I use both the SAB and the Occasions catalogue products.

• The base is Pool Party cardstock, layered with striped gold fancy foil designer vellum
• The stamp set used is "What I Love" a SAB stamp.  The flower is made using 3 step stamping - using 3 colours of pink.
• 
  

Colour 1:  Soft sky
Colour2:  Pool Party
Colour 3:  Pacific Point

Each flower was cut out and added to a 2 1/4 by 2 1/4" Piece of Whisper White cardstock - the second flower slightly overlapping the first flower and attached using dimensionals.  The leaves were stamped using Old Olive ink, and I used a blender pen to fill the leaves in a bit. "It's My Party" enamel dots were added to each corner.
I love glitter, so it was added to each of the petals using the Stella wink glitter brush (clear)

The image panel was matted with Pool Party cardstock and attached to the card front using dimensionals.

A piece of 3/8" piece of Pool Party glitter ribbon was adhered to a 3/4" piece of Pool Party cardstock  which was matted with Whisper White cardstock.  Then some pool party Baker's twine was criss crossed across this strip and a bow glued to the center.  This strip was adhered to the lower part of the card front.

The sentiment is from "A Dozen Thoughts" (retired)
