Miss Pinks Craft Spot

It's the weekend, and after having a tidy and getting the studio organised to make way for my pre-order delivery I decided I needed to create. I got inspiration from this weeks Global Design Challenge , the square image really caught my eye, so I made a note card: I decided on a simple black and white theme, easy to achieve when using the True Love Designer Series Paper - both the background and the flowers are cut from the DSP. I used a stitched circle, but could have just as easily used a plain circle, then laid the arrangement around the edge of the circle, before stamping the sentiment from Well Said on Black cardstock and embossing before I snipped it out.

I said "oh bother", but then my daughter said "hey that looks cool!", how different can two interpretations of a stamping whoopsie be! So yes, I had a whoopsie when stamping the Happy sentiment on my card, I went with "cool, it's like a shadow", I did consider stamping on black and white embossing the sentiment, but hey, I was going to argue with a 13 year old, hahaha! I'm playing along at Freshly Made Sketches , and loved Karen Johnson's card, this is my "variation" on it as a more masculine design. Firstly I used masking to create a crisp edge with each of Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Bermuda Bay and Mango Melody, then I cut that panel using a Stitched Rectangle , then cut a large Stitched Rectangle and mounted that over basic black. cutting a birthday die with a Well Written die, then stamping the last of the sentiment from the  Well Said  stamp set. I couldn't not add some sequins to finish. Thanks for...

If you follow my creations, you will know that masculine themed cards are my nemesis... but I think today I have succeeded with my creation! For the creation I used a mix of the Layered Circle Dies and Stitched Shapes - I cut the circles in halve (with the exception of the small circle) before adhering together, it was quite easy to align the circles by doing this.  Happy is stamped in Sahara Sand using the Well Said Stamp Set, and the coordinating Birthday Sentiment is die cut from Well Written. I decided to add a layer of texture with the new Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder - it give more detail than the Subtle embossing folder, which was perfect for this design.

Welcome back to a fresh challenge at  What Will You Stamp? This weeks showcase features the Well Said stamp set - with 51 mix and match sentiments, ranging from single words to phases, you are bound to have the right sentiment for every occasion. If that's not enough sentiments for you, then you can also pair with the Well Written framelits, that's another 24 dies - I was super excited when I saw these in the Occasions Catalogue. For my creation, I've used a combination of stamping and die cuts, and for something out of the square for me I didn't layer or mat my card base, instead I created the "mat" by stamping the Blushing Bride background (ever so lightly) with the Crackle Paint Stamp. By using VersaMark for the background stamping made it quite delicate, and so that I didn't have straight egdes, I tore paper and created a mask around the edge of the card before stamping. The wood elements and Metallic Pearls fini...
