Hello crafters, a new month, means a new bundle from the All Star Design Team. This month we are showcasing the Mediterranean Blooms suite. The All Star Design Team not only design a Tutorial Project that’s exclusive but we also each design an additional project to share here for further inspiration. I used the masking technique to stamp down the edge of the card front, one of my favourite techniques as it can give a totally different look to a stamped design when it is overlaid multiple times to cover a larger space on your card than just simply stamping. I decided to do a "wash of colour" using watercolour pencils for todays design as my previous projects have had quite vivid colouring, I like to think of it as "less is more". To fill the fruit I lightly applied ink to a blending brush and lightly applied. After stamping the sentiment I added a little bling with rhinestones, and I was done - I was surprised how quickly this card came together. Mediterranean Blooms
Welcome to this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, we are featuring the prettty pastels, Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia - totally in my groove with these colours! I used the Around the Bend Dies to die cut the images from card stock of our colours. To create the base for the arrangement, I cut 2 circles using the largest Everyday Detail Dies , overlapped and offset so Lemon Lolly would show though to give some subtle colour and pull the foliage elements together. I chose the sentiment based on the font, Friends for Life has a beautiful collection of varied fonts and sizes. I silver embossed, and to finish I added some rhinestone bling - it's my thing!
