Triple Easel Card

I made this Triple Easel Card using the tutorial from Splitcoast stampers.  It was fairly easy to follow, but I must admit that I had to stop, rewind, stop, & rewind the video several times but I finally got the card made. The sentiment was not stamped very straight - but then the card is hand made.

Supplies:
Stamps: Creative Elements, Blooming with Kindness
Inks: Island Indigo, Melon Mambo
Papers: Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight, Gingham Garden designer series paper, Pear Pizzaz, Whisper White
Accessories: Circles framelits, Scallop circles framelits, Bird Builder punch, Dazzling details, rhinestones, Scallop border punch

With Sympathy - Sketch Frenzy Friday

It's been a while since I've posted on a regular basis.  That's because I've had problems sending e-mails to the groups I belong to.  For some reason Yahoo blocked them and all e-mails were returned to me with an error message.  Yesterday the problem was finally resolved and my e-mails are now going through.

This card is for the challenge with Sketch Frenzy Friday here .  As you know I used to be on the design team, but had to resign because of my e-mail problems.  I love the sketches here and they have a good design team.

This A2 card has a base of Island Indigo layered with Whisper White and then Gingham garden DSP.

On the Whisper White image panel I first stamped the swirling background stamp from Creative Elements, using Crushed Curry ink. It was matted with Island Indigo card stock. Then on a separate piece of Whisper White paper I stamped the flower from the same stamp set in Island Indigo - twice.  I cut one of the flowers out in its entirety, but the second flower I only cut the center.  The two were adhered together with a dimensional. The flower was attached to the panel using dimensionals.

I then stamped the butterfly using Crushed Curry ink, and cut it out.  It was attached to the image panel using a glue dot, and rhinestones were added to the butterfly body.

Some dazzling details was added to both the butterfly and the flower.

The image panel was attached to the designer paper overlapping an Island Indigo doilie die cut.

A white taffeta ribbon and bow on the left side finished the card.

Here's a list of the supplies used:

Stamps: Creative Elements, Teeny Tiny wishes

Inks: Island Indigo, Crushed Curry

Papers: Island Indigo, Whisper White, Gingham Garden DSP

Accessories: Pennant die, 3/8" white taffeta ribbon, dazzling details, rhinestones

Create with Creative Elements - Unscripted Sketches #210

Happy Mother's Day!!  I hope all of you have made your telephone calls and/or received them.  My daughter called me early this morning, but she has 3 young children to wake her up.  Fortunately I was up and it was great to talk to her.  My son is spoiling me!  He made me brunch and won't even let me wash the dishes!  He's now out power cleaning the deck.  What a guy!  I'm not supposed to get out of my pjamas today - but probably will.

This card is for the sketch challenge with Unscripted Sketches here

 

The base card is Elegant Eggplant which I layered with a Honeycomb embossed piece of Whisper White card stock.

To create the focal image panel, I first stamped the flower on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock using Wisteria Wonder ink.  The flower was then cut out.  Next I stamped the butterfly using Elegant Eggplant ink, and cut it out.  The word "Create" was stamped on the lower right corner of the panel. The edges of this Whisper White panel were sponged with Wisteria Wonder ink.

The flower was attached to the left side, the butterfly on the right over top of the sentiment.  Some dazzling details was added to the flower, and some rhinestones to the center of the butterfly and on the middle of the upper edge of the panel.

I next cut a piece of Wisteria wonder card stock to mat the image panel and extend below the focal panel.  The lower end was cut freehand as indicated by the sketch.  I then embossed this piece with the Polka dot folder and distressed the edges with Wisteria Wonder ink.

Some ruffled Wisteria Wonder ribbon and a bow was attached to the lower edge, after which it was attached to the card.

The image panel was attached to the embossed Wisteria wonder piece using dimensionals.

Here's a summary of the materials used:

Stamp: Creative Elements

Inks: Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Black Stazon

Papers: Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White, Wisteria Wonder

Accessories: Honeycomb folder, Polka dot folder, 3/8" Wisteria Wonder ruffled ribbon, rhinestones, dimensionals, Dazzling details.

Creative Elements Birthday - Hand Stamped Sentiments #147

The challenge with Hand Stamped Sentiments is to create something in hues of the same color i.e. monochromatic

 

For my monochromatic colors I chose to use various shades of pink: Pretty in Pink, Primrose Petals, and and Raspberry Ripple using the triple stamping technique.

The Pretty in Pink did not show up as well as I would have liked. In the picture you can see the swirls very faintly.  It looks better in real life.

After temporatily attaching all 3 layers together, the swirl stamp was inked with Pretty in Pink and stamped all over the background.  Before doing this the sentiment was stamped with Raspberry Ripple.

The flower was stamped with Raspberry Ripple, and the butterfly with Primrose Petals.

Stamps: Creative elements, Create a Cupcake
Inks: Pretty in Pink, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple
Papers: Primrose Petals, Whisper White
Accessories: 1/4" Primrose Petals stitched satin ribbon, ribbon slide
