Grateful Bunch

Welcome,

The new Wink of Stella Glitter brush is great for accenting stamped images, as I have done on these flowers. Not sure how much it shows on the photo but gives a beautiful fine glitter finish with no mess. I have used the Clear Glitter Brush (#141897) and there is also one in Gold (#141898).

I stamped the flowers from the Grateful Bunch stamp set (#p140691) on Watermelon Wonder card (#138341). The ink is Archival Basic Black (#140931). This is a permanent ink so is perfect if you are doing water colouring. Unfortunately this size flower doesn't have a co-ordinating punch but is easily cut by hand which is what I have done. There are 3 other flowers in this stamp set which have a co-ordinating punch (#140612). One flower was attached to the card with a Stampin' Dimensional (#104430), the other was taped. I added Pearl Basic Jewels (#119247) to the centres. Whisper White card (#106549) was used for the base card, then a piece of Watermelon Wonder, then another piece of white. Happy Birthday from Perfect Pairings (#c141261, #w141258) has also been stamped with the Archival Basic Black ink. The ribbon is Watermelon Wonder 1" Dotted Lace Trim (138425).

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Grateful Bunch

Hi and welcome,

Another of the new bundles from the Occasions catalogue is the Grateful Bunch (#140801). This includes the Grateful Bunch stamp set (#p140691) and the Blossom Bunch Punch (#140612).

The cardstock is Daffodil Delight (#121680), Basic Black (#121688) and Whisper White (#106549). The stem and leaves were stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#126975). The flowers were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Embossing Powder which was heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The flowers were punched with the Blossom Bunch Punch. The butterfly and sentiment were stamped with the Archival Basic Black ink (#140931). Happy Birthday is from the Rose Wonder stamp set (#140697) and I used the Decorative Label to punch this and I used Daffodil Delight ink (#126944) to sponge around the edge. Pearl Basic Jewels (#119247) were added to the centre of the flowers. The corners of the Whisper White card were punched with the Curvy Corner Trio punch (#139683). The flowers and sentiment were attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

Time for this week's weekly deals-
