Touch of Ink February 2021 S&C challenge

This is another card I made for the Stamp & Chat February challenge.

White basecard was stamped with the leaves with Grey Granite to add some interest to the background.  

I took a layer of Pear Pizazz.  I took a white cardstock and stamped the flower image multiple times as shown and the butterfly in black.  I used water brushes and ink refills on a tray to water color teh flowers and the butterfly in daffodil and pumpkin pie and Calypso coral (also on the flowers) and Pear pizazz on the leaves.

the words are from the retired set Label Me Bold.

 The back graound is done with Balmy Blue ink pad using blender brushes. I have some stencils with cloud shapes and I used that to create the feeling of sky and clouds

Forever & Always

 

Some of our local demonstrators have been getting together monthly for a Stamp & Chat -now a zoom meeting and this was the card I made for our monthly challenge layout.

the base white cardstock was embossed using the Painted Texture embossing folder .

I layered a piece of Melon mambo.  
i took a white cardstock, stamped the leaves from the suite sampler set (Hostess set from the Spring 2021 mini) and from Forever & ALways in old olive and water colored it in.

Used water painters with melon Mambo to color in the flowers and Crushed curry for the center and diecut and mounted with dimensionals.

Used the Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue to create a soft sky color,

The words are from Rooted in Nature set. 

Valentine's Day Treats - Paper Pumpkin Jan 2021 alternative.

For Valentines Day I need little treats for my office staff and the Paper Pumpkin this time was a cardset of 8 which was super cute but I needed treat bags or boxes so I cut the cards in half- thank goodness they were printed front and back so I could do that.

I scored 3/4 inches from the edge on the card halves on all four sides. I cut thick white cardstock into quarters and did the same with it as well.  then I cut the corners to make tabs so I could turn them into boxes.  I needed 16 and it was just perfect.

I diecut the hearts from the Many hearts Die in Real Red for the pink boxes and white cardstock for the red boxes- I stamped the white hearts with

curlycue hearts in Blushing Bride and mounted them on the boxes.

I diecut the banner from the Floral Heart Dies (which I absolutely LOOOOVE!) I', going to use this die for other cards as well - i love the gentle curve, stitched edges and the prescored bend.

The sentiment is from the paper Pumpkin set that came with the kit which I thought would be more universal for my staff than happy Valentines day in case they want to give it away to someone else.

 

I filled the boxes with an assortment of chocolates and candies

I hope they enjoy it!

now I have all these printed mailboxes and hearts from the kit to play with as well......
