Bridal Shower Card

At the craft show this past weekend I had several requests for bridal shower cards, depleting my stock, so I'm taking this opportunity to make some more.
This card uses 2 different stamp sets.

The base card is Baja Breeze card stock, layered with Pretty in Pink card stock embossed with the framed tulips folder.  A White tea lace paper doilie is adhered to the center of this embossed layer.

I used the frame from Papaya Collage to contain the focal image.  It was stamped with Certainly Celery ink and cut out.  On a separate piece of Whisper White card stock, an umbrella and handle were stamped using Baja breeze ink and cut out.  Then inking up the floral stamp with Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery markers, the roses were stamped on another piece of Whisper White and also cut out.
 A piece of Pretty in Pink was embossed using the rectangle designer frames folder and cut out.  Then a piece of Whisper White was also embossed using the same folder, but it was cut out along the second inner line.  The sentiment was stamped on that, and then it was attached to the Pretty in Pink frame.
The entire frame was attached to the larger frame at an angle, and the umbrella was attached at the right upper corner using dimensionals.  The roses were attached at the left upper corner, one with just adhesive, and the bottom one with dimensionals.  Some bling was used in the form of large rhinestones under the sentiment, and dazzling details on the umbrella details.
The focal image was attached to the card centered on the doilie using dimensionals.

Here is a summary of the stamps/materials used:
Stamps: Rain or Shine, Papaya Collage
Inks: Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery, SU markers (Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery)
Papers: Baja Breeze, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, White tea lace paper doilie
Accessories: Framed tulips folder, Designer Frames Folder, Large rhinestones, Dazzling details, dimensionals

French Foliage Sympathy - Try Stampin' on Tuesday # 80

Even though the temperatures have begun to soar again, we have had a taste of the fall to come.  Already some of the leaves on the trees are turning (that could be the drought we had) various hues of browns and reds.  So today, for the challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday here    I thought I would make a fall card - with sympathy that the summer is almost over.

 

Technique:

Base is Cherry Cobbler card stock.  The next layer is Very Vanilla which is embossed with the Framed Tulip folder and the edges sponged first with Crumb Cake ink, and then Early Espresso.  The swirly stamp from Elements of Style was stamped at an angle onto the middle of this layer, using Crumb Cake ink.  

Image Panel This was collage stamped using the stamp set French Foliage and the 3 colors of inks mentioned below.  A double butterfly (Very Vanilla and Cherry Cobbler) was attached at the upper left corner.  Pearls were placed on the body and extended over onto the panel.

Embellishments: Itty Bitty buttons, under which were placed a tiny circle of Cherry Cobbler card stock punch with the Itty Bitty punch (circle).  Pearls were attached to the top of each button.

Stamps:  Elements of Style, French Foliage, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Inks: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler

Papers:  Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Framed Tulips folder, Butterfly punch, Word window punch, Itty Bitty circle punch, 1/2" cherry cobbler scalloped dotted ribbon, Itty bitty buttons, pearls, dimensionals
