Memorable Blooms

 Hello again friends,

As I write this, the wind is starting to build as the cyclone comes closer to the Queensland coast and is expected to cross the coast tomorrow night. My craft room is the most exposed so we have boarded the windows and doors, just to be on the safe side. It is very rare for a cyclone to come this far south, so we are hoping it isn't too vicious. I hope everyone in the affected areas will be safe.

I have used the Baby Wipes technique again on today’s card. Check yesterdays blog for all the details on this technique. I usually stamp a variety of images when I use this technique so I don't waste the ink I have used to create the “ink pad”.

I stamped the image from the Memorable Blooms stamp set (#164816) onto Basic White card (#159228). This was cut with a Textured Notes Die (#165555).

The Real Red card (#106578) was dry embossed with the Modern Herringbone Embossing Folder (#164908) and attached to the Basic White base card. The stamped image was attached to the Real Red card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Congratulations” from the Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). The sentiment and the Azure Afternoon card (#161728) were also cut with Textured Notes dies. These were taped to the card. The Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) were added to the card.

Scrapbook page

 Hello,

I have stamped on the background page for this scrapbook page using images from the Kiss Of Texture stamp set (#164759) and the Memorable Blooms stamp set (#164816).

I cut the circles from Basic White card (#159228) and Basic Black card (#121688) using an electronic cutter. I placed the white card on the 12”x12” Basic White card (#159231) - which I had trimmed to 11&1/4” square - and marked the circle with a pencil. This was to show me where to stamp the images around the circle. The circle was removed to do the stamping. I stamped the flowers & leaves alternately on the base page using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708).

I also stamped 2 flowers on the white circle and coloured these with Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends (#163827)  and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885).

I was trying to decide if I would colour all the flowers & leaves around the circle, but decided to just leave them uncoloured, especially as my top was just black & white.

The circles were taped to the Base White card and the White card was matted with Peach Pie 12”x12” card (#163805). The photos were matted with Basic Black card.

The dragonflies were cut with the retired Detailed Dragonflies dies. The large dragonfly was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the small group of Dragonflies had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) attached to the back of the card making these easy to attach to the page.
