Elements of Style - Get Well

Happy Wednesday everyone... Here is a card I made yesterday morning, I hand delivered this to a dear friend of the family, who is having some health issues. I love this stamp set from Stampin Up - called Elements of Style... Image was stamped with Craft Black and clear embossed on watercolour paper. I coloured the flowers with Cameo Coral and Ruby Red reinkers and the leaves with Old Oliver and Certainly Celery. I sponged and water colored the sky with Tempting Turquoise.
I used the colours from this weeks Colour challenge at Splitcoast Stampers - Cameo Coral, Ruby Red and Tempting Turquoise.. desert option was to use ric rac on your card.. I had some old paper ric rac that I coloured with my Ruby Red marker.
I also used the Midnight Madness sketch #MMSC57 from Priscillastyles Blog - I used the simpler sketch.

Thanks for stopping by,
Happy Stamping and Creating,

Hugs... Pat

Moments in Life

Happy Wednesday everyone..... I wanted to share this with you... I just purchased this beautiful stamp set from Stampin Up called "Elements of Style" and couldn't wait to colour up these beautiful flowers. I made this for the colour challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers #CC273 - barely banana, garden green, close to cocoa and neutrals of choice.... I stamped my flowers onto watercolour paper with versamark and Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossed it. Water coloured my image with reinkers and Tombo markers. Sponged on clouds using Soft Sky. Cut out image with Topnote die and cut out a larger matting in black - with scissors. Stamped Hummingbird with Barely Banana and overstamped the head and tail with Really Rust. Coloured the beak and eye with black marker. Coloured the throat with white gel pen. Cut out hummingbird. Used embossing tool to give Hummer some dimension. Stamped the base Barely Banana panel with the flourished stamp using Barely Banana. Sponged all edges with Close to Cocoa. Sewed all edges. Stamped sentiment and cut out with nestabilities and black scalloped oval mat. Image panel, hummingbird and sentiment are all popped up.

Happy stamping and creating.
