Earthen Textures

Hello again my friends,

As a potter (many years ago) I really appreciate this Earthen Elegance Suite Collection (#161518). The designer of this suite actually used clay to create the patterns for the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper (#161503).

I used one of the Gorgeous Garden dies (#161283) to cut the leaves from the Designer Series Paper. The Radiating Stitches Dies (#161595) was used to cut the “frame” from the Very Vanilla card (#106550). The leaves were attached to the back of the frame then this was attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The larger pot was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and the middle pot with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). These are from the Earthen Textures stamp set (#161504) and I fussy cut the pots. The 3rd pot was cut with a die from the Earthen Textures dies (#161513) from the DSP. The top of the middle pot was cut with another of the dies using Pretty Peacock from the Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack (#161750).

The flower centres were stamped with Wild Wheat ink (#161651). “Thanks” from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052) was stamped with Moody Mauve ink.

Radiating Stitches Dies

Welcome again my friends,

I have just received the new Radiating Stitches Dies (#161595) which can be found in the “Online Exclusives”, and I just couldn't wait to use these beautiful dies. I have also realised that they will layer with many other of rectangular dies and I have used a die from the Scalloped Contours dies (#155560) for the Real Red card (#106578) between the 2 pieces cut with the Radiating Stitches Dies.

These are the Radiating Stitches Dies-

I used Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) for the larger die cut and Basic White card (#159228) for the smaller one. I stamped the leaves from the Cottage Rose Stamp set (#159040) onto the rectangular piece of White card with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). I also stamped the leaves and the flower with Tuxedo Black memento ink (#132708). These were coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885), Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). These were cut with the co-ordinating Cottage Flowers Dies (#159047).

The sentiment is from the Nested Friends stamp set (#160322) and I stamped this with Real Red ink (#147084). Another Radiating Stitches Die was used to cut the sentiment.

I layered the 3 rectangular pieces together and attached them to the Basic White base card. The flower, leaves and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add some glimmer to the flower & leaves, and the embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots (#160582).
