A Little Note, #PP488, Ornate Floral

This is the most amazing suite! It's made up of 2 bundles, both fabulous, both have dies that are fabulous!  The dies are unlike any we have previously seen from SU.   But I didn't use the dies here, just the wonderful floral.  

I'm playing with Paper Players this week for their sketch challenge.
Come on over and see the teams cards, lots of inspiration over there.

 
It can be easily and fairly quickly colored in or just stamped. Even better stamped and embossed.  Here I've stamped using my white craft ink pad with allows me to see what I've stamped, and embossed in white powder.    Then I used the white ink and my Aqua brush to fill the leaves in with white ink.  As you see, the dark color and probably the pink cast, left it with a pretty lighter cast of the Blackberry Bliss paper.

To get the effect on my embossing folder, the new one that is part of the suite, I used my brayer to roll on color to the folder and put my paper inside.  You get different effects depending on the folder.
I love playing with my tools and different effects, give it a try.

A Little Note, FMS#369

I know, my posts have been few and far between lately, but there has been so much going on here. My health, hubbies health, car health. LOL. I'm sensing a pattern here.  But today I sat down and  started thinking about the FMS sketch and ideas started popping up in my head so I had to sit down and do something about that.

Check out the challenge HERE.

I get so into making Christmas cards when the Holiday catalog comes out each year, that I forget about all the wonderful things in the  Annual catalog.  One was this gorgeous laser cut paper we got.  It's very delicate, and can be hard to pull out, but it's worth the effort! We do have a whole new set of it in the Occasions catalog as well and if it is possible, it's even prettier.
I also used this gorgeous DSP called Petal Promenade, while there are whole sheets of gorgeousness, there are also some different shapes to be had, like this wreath shape, and squares ect.  I cut the wreath shape out using one of the layering circle dies, it wasn't perfect, but I think it worked.

The ribbon is one of 5 in a set of different colors that are FREE, yup, it's in the SAB catalog and free with a $50 order from any current catalog if you choose it.

My colors are: Whisper White, Grapefruit Grove, Tranquil Tide, Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo.

The butterfly is in Butterfly Gala bundle and has a punch to go with. They are gorgeous and I love the sentiments as well, also the price is pretty good too.

Thanks for stopping by, if I can answer any questions just ask.

#FestiveFriday0024, A little note

Since Hubby and I don't do the New Years eve thing, we are all low key right about now.  He is recovering from an illness and I just took a break from making cards.

This was really a fun little card, here is the challenge, come on over and play, there are prizes involved.

I think I covered both bases with my little Post Card Pals image.  I just think he is the cutest thing. The sentiment which worked out so well is from Butterfly Gala, in the new Occasions catalog.  That, along with the SAB goes live on Jan 3rd!   It's is hands down the best yet!  The free product in the SAB will blow you away.  Once again they have a $100 catagory, but not too much there, most of it is buy $50 in product and choose something from the SAB. 

You can buy the new Tea stamp set and get the framelits free with a $100 purchase, that is pretty cool.  I'm taking them up on that offer, it's the nicest tea set we have ever had.

On with the card.  I made up a piece of Watercolor paper using both Balmy blue and Pacific point then let that dry and stamped my image in black, cut it out with one of the new rectangle stitched framelits, then added a piece of DSP from the Subtles DSP set in Balmy Blue under it.  I turned the stripes so I cut it crooked to have the angle I wanted. I used the next size up in the rectangle set.

The ribbon is one of 5 in this set of free ribbon in the SAB, 5 different colors in the one set. I love when we get more then a single ribbon in a set!
So, if you are not in love with coloring, this idea should help you if there is a set you love but just don't love that you need to color it.   I do usually enjoy coloring but this time I just didn't.
