Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting!

I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go.

Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom.  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp.

Next, I die cut an oval out of a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of the coordinating Floral Impressions 12" x 12" DSP, and added a Basic White layer behind it that was dry embossed with a retired embossing folder.

In following this weeks color challenge, I went through my stash of cardstock and found some beloved Mint Melody to use for my flower stems and leaves.  Does anyone remember that color?! Its been around like FOREVER, and yes, I still have it. :0  Note: Over the years, my kids were allowed to hunt and use any cardstock  in my retired section of my filing cabinet for their school and/or personal use.  Double note: I did insist on a hand made card for my birthday using this stash. :)  The flower centers were stamped in Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry ink and I added some cute little die cut flowers using Crushed Curry  cardstock.

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.  

For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears.  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous. 

For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies.

I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well.

I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear.

Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends using one of the patterns of Painterly Pairs 12" x 12" DSP as my color guide.  I followed the same colors and coloring for the large die cut branch which was originally just a Basic White piece.

Below is this weeks new sketch challenge created by Heidi.

 My stamped and colored pears were adhered to a Basic White layer that was embossed with the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder (retired). 

Lastly, I added some Timid Tiger cardstock die cut flowers and a few Pressed Flower Motifs (love these) to pull everything together.

Pretty Florals for Sunday Stamps!

Happy Independence Day weekend!  Today, starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! and this week we are working with a sketch by Lisa.  To me this sketch is perfect to showcase flowers.  I chose to highlight the Florals in Bloom 12" x 12" DSP and added a few other fun products to complete my design.

I hand cut out three flowers from the beautiful DSP and then added some die cut Granny Apple Green leaves and Garden Green sprigs to create a floral scene.

Next, I embossed a Basic White cardstock piece with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder and then added two thin strips of DSP highlighting the color Secret Sea.  This was then added to a piece of Moody Mauve cardstock and finally to a Basic White card base.

For fun, I added a few Moody Mauve and Secret Sea die cut flowers from the Impressions Abloom Bundle and placed them around my floral scene.

Finally, I added my sentiment (stamped in Secret Sea) and a Strawberry Slush Bakers Twine bow.  Here's this weeks new sketch challenge.
