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.

Lovely as a Tree

Hello friends,

Firstly, I hope you all had a very happy and safe Christmas, which I did with all the family here. After everyone left I spent the last 2 days re-organising my craft room and couldn't wait to start stamping again. It's only a few more days - 5th January- when you can start ordering from the new catalogue with so many exciting new products on offer. As well as this, Sale-a-bration is here again, so with every $90 worth of products you order you will earn free products of your choice from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. Today I am giving you a sneek peak of one of the stamp sets, Perfect Pairings (#c141261, #w141258) which have a range of sentiments which can be used alone or with a matching pair as I have used here.

I have used Soft Suede ink (#126978) for the sentiment as well as the trees. After stamping the trees from Lovely as a Tree (#c127793, #w128655), I cut this into 3rds and taped them onto the Soft Suede card (#119982) with a small space in between. I also sponged the edges using a dauber and Soft Suede ink. The base card is Whisper White (#106549).

Sale-a-bration runs from 5th January till 31st March 2016. There are some products available throughout this period, however there are some products that are available only till 15th February, then there will be a release of more products for the remaining time. So make sure you don't miss out on the products that you want.
