What's Up Wednesday ~ Berry Botanical Vellum

Have you seen the May Product of the Month yet?  It's a real WOW! Three sheets each of four beautiful patterns. Rich colors! It's really gorgeous! Let's take a look!

These are the patterns in the pack. I love every one of them! There is so much you can do with each one! How about some ideas? Ok, here we go!

Create a box or cover a ready made box. Make a belly band and secure it with a ribbon and tag. 

Glue the vellum to white CS then die cut letters. Glue to a card base and embellish. You can even snip out sections around some of the letters for a unique look!

Die cut flowers and layer them to create a nice full flower. Add some leaves and embellish. Random stamp a card base to bring it all together!

How about a scrapbook page? Keep the base page simple with a tone on tone look then adding fussy cut flowers from the vellum around your photo. Lovely!

Here's a fun card to celebrate any occasion! Die cut some balloons. Layer the vellum on different colors of CS to create a fun background. Embellish!

Create a bouquet by fussy cutting flowers and leaves. Arrange them on the card base and embellish. 

Those are just a few ideas for this amazing product! I bet you can come up with a lot more on your own! Want a pack of your own to create with?

Butterfly Card ~ Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #681

Good Monday Morning!  Today I'm sharing a sketch from our Team at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Every Monday we go live with a new sketch and our blog opens for entries on Wednesday. I'm on Team B and we do the odd numbered sketches. 

When using our sketch you can do whatever you like with it! Twist, turn rotate, change shapes, etc. We just need to be able to see the sketch in your design. Most of all have fun!

I did a bit of altering to the sketch for my card. I changed shapes and added a couple of layers, but the overall look is on target for the sketch.

The pretty paper is from our new Everyday Essentials pack. This is a very versatile pack of designs! I love this color and pattern combo the most from the pack do that's why I chose it for my card.

Using the pink and yellow flowers as inspiration, I stamped and punched out the butterflies. The scalloped circles are dies and come in many sizes for all sorts of layering! The white circle is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals to create a bit of depth in the design. Finally, the pretty little pink flowers were added. I love the way they accent thee sentiment an during in the flower theme to that layer.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Add your project starting on Wednesday.

There you go with my take on the sketch. It's really nice when y9u have a sketch to get you started! Have fun and we can't wait to see how you use our sketch in your creation!

Flowering Meadow Card ~ Color Dare #703

 Welcome to our newest Color Dare Challenge! Each Friday we give you a new combo of colors to create any paper project you like. For this challenge you must use at least of the colors shown in our graphic. We do offer some FREE colors to use with the graphic colors if you like, BUT do not add any extra colors beyond that. So if you are entering multiple challenges be careful of your colors. Sometimes they sneak in on pattern papers or in other ways!

For my card I went with a color block style of design and used all four of the colors in the graphic. The background layer is from our Two Tone card stock and it's the light side of Pretty Peacock. The other colors I used are Gorgeous Grape, Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo. 

I added a strip of Vellum behind the flowers to give some dimension and separate the flower layers from the background. I placed the glue under the spots where the flower layers would be so it wouldn't show through the Vellum.

The flowers are popped up on Dimensionals and painted with Wink of Stella for a pretty sparkle. It's also very difficult to photo the sparkle! 

The Three Banner Punch was used to make the sentiment banner quick and easy! After adding some Gold Flower Accents I called it finished!

This was a very easy card to make mostly because of the coordinating dies that made it quick and easy to cut out the flower parts. There are many more lovely images in this bundle so be sure to check it out!

Now it's your turn to create and share using our color challenge. We love seeing how our colors inspire you and can't wait to see what you create! Have fun!

Watercolor Leftovers Part 2 ~ Color Dare #702

 Here's another idea for using the leftover Watercolor pieces. Last Friday when our Color Dare Challenge went live, I shared a project that used the leftover inks for watercoloring. I showed how to soak up the ink puddles with watercolor paper. Here is another project using the leftover watercolor paper! Click here to see last Friday's project.

After soaking up the ink puddles and letting the ink dry, I used it to die cut these pretty flowers. The Simply Beautiful Bundle was used for this card and creates ..... well.... simply beautiful images!

The card base is Soft Sea Foam with a strip of DSP in Cloud Cover at the bottom. I added strips of Blackberry Bliss CS to the top and bottom to balance the darker color with the two lighter ones 

The flowers are die cut and layered on Cloud Cover for a base. The flower centers are also die cut but from a Specialty Paper called Lunar Lustre. When paired with Cloud Cover it looks like a shimmery Cloud cover! I added a Rhinestone to the flower just for a bit of sparkle.

The card base was brushed with a Blending Brush and Soft Sea Foam ink to soften the base area where the sentiment goes.

The sentiment is popped up and I used another Blending Brush to ink the edges. The stamping was done using the Stamp Positioner to make sure it was just right before die cutting.
