Middle panel: 3 by 4 1/4" (mat with 3 1/4 by 4 1/2")
Base:  4 by 5 1/4

Stamp: Ornamental Pine
Inks: Old Olive, Early Espresso
Papers: Early Espresso, Whisper White

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.

The Open Sea Best Wishes - The Paper Players color challenge #117

Boy, did I struggle with this one!  It took me all day to finally get a card together using the colors of the challenge with The Paper Players (here):  Cajun Craze, Night of Navy, and Bravo Burgundy, plus Very Vanilla. This is the 3rd card and my 4th attempt.  Usually I have no problem, but even my son agreed that my earlier attempts were not up to my usual quality. Not wanting to quit, I finally came up with this card - triple layer stamping.

Triple Stamping - Bird on flower - Inspirational Challenge #1 Stampin' Fun and Friends

This Inspirational Challenge with Stampin' Fun and Friends required a bit of thinking on my part, but I finally opted for a triple stamping card using the colors of the challenge.  The colors I used:  Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit, Early Espresso. I couldn't resist putting a bird with the flower.

Here is my card:

 

Technique:

Flower: Punch 3 of the 1 1/4 Scallop circles in Summer Starburst and using the same color of ink,stamp one of the images of a flower center all over the scallops.  Then snip between every 2 scallops, curl petals downward, and attach 2 of them together with a dimensional- alternating petals.

Punch one each of the smaller flowers of the Boho petal punch.  Snip between petals, bunch the flowers up and glue one inside the other.  Attach this to the inside of the Summer Starburst flower.  Put a pearl at the center of the flower. Spritz with gold smooch.

Attach this to a Gumball Green Scallop circle the scallops of which had been pricked with the mat pack and paper piercer.

The leaves are made using the Sizzlets Little Leaves die

Bird:

On a piece of whisper white paper, sponge some Summer Starburst, and then sponge some Early Espresso above that.  Insert the Bird builder punch maneuvering it until you have the desired color combination for the bird.  The beak is a leaf from this punch. Sponge the top of the bird with Early Espresso, and the belly with Summer Starfruit. The wing is punched the same way and attached to the body of the bird using a dimensional.

A little pearl makes the eye
