Country side Corners- Good Feeling and Petal park builder variations

I had this design in my mind so I made this but not sure it lives up to what I was thinking. This was one of my monthly projects for Stampin' with Lynda.

I took the countryside corners die and used the frame part to use as a stencil and used the blending brush with Balmy Blue inkpad to make a soft background

I stamped the sentiment from Good Feelings in Night of Navy and the flowers in Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous grape and Highland Heather and punched it out using the Petal Park Builder punch. 

For the card below I did the same thing but used the Countryside corners dies to cut the shite and the Hgihland heather piece and put the sentiment die from Wanted to Say dieset using Gorgeous grape. I love how the dot on the i is attached- I an forever looking for the little dot in other dies like this.   

When I stamped the leaves the first time I did it too close to the sentmient and forgot to leave room for the flowers so I had to move the leaves out to the edge and colored it in using watercolor pencils and used the watercolor painters to blend it in- so easy.

Use the Take your Pick tool to curl the petals of the flowers then mount using dimensionals. - add some pearls in the center of the flowers to add some sparkle

 

another Two Tone Flora variation

 

I love this set- lovely flowers and dies to match- basecard is thick white cardstock with a layer of petal pink diecut using the Two Tone Flora dies (so pretty - don't you think?) a strip of black stamped with versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  

 

Stamp the highlight colors with flirty flamingo then lining up the center of the flower, stamp the background color of petal pink  then diecut out. stamp the leaves in old olive and diecut out.

I put some pearls in the center of the large flower. I put some gold nail striping tape ( bought on line- self adhesive in really fine line) to add a little sparkle. 

Two Tone Flora variations

This is a variation on the Two Tone Flora using a variety of different colors - basecards is thick white with a layer of two tone flora diecut on top with a banner sentiment from Season of Chic stampset then just layered the flowers that I made using petal pink and flirty flamingo, Fresh Freesia and highland heather, Daffodil and crushed curry- play with whatever combination pleases you and I just put them all together. layer them with dimensionals and I used some liquid pearls in the center of the flowers - this was an experiment instead of using real pearls and it was interesting- not sure what I prefer.

Leaves in old olive and diecut. 

 

Two Tone Flora

 

The die that coordiates with this set is  so gorgeous with such intricate details I couldn't wait to use it for a class project- this base card is Petal pink with a layer of diecut in white cardstock. 

stamp the flowers in petal pink then with Flirty flamingo - I find stamping the darker color then stamping the lighter color on top matching up the center of the flower was the easiest to do. I stamped some leaves in old olive and diecut it all out.

The sentiment is from  Season of Chic set - which I also love.- stamp with black memento onto a strip of white cardstock and use the Banners pack a punch to to create the angle and put a piece of Flirty flamingo behind to make it pop a little - mount the sentiment banner using dimensionals - and same with the flowers.

I put some tiny perals to accent the center as shown below.

Best Day flap card

I like the birthday cake on this image but my sister really liked the cat and so I had to make a card to show this off. This was a simple card A2 5 1/2x 8 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4 and mounted an image panel on the front to create the flap 

It is now retired but still I wanted to show you.

take the pieces of DSP and glue it down on the outside sections as shown.

Stamp the cat then make a mask by stamping another cat image on a post it or masking paper and place it over the cat then stamp the cake to create the layered look. - color as you please- I took the color lead from the DSP - the back of the DSP has listing of all the colors used in the DSP so very helpful.
