Aound the World on Wednesday Blog Hop - March Blues



Hello and welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop for March.

This month we are celebrating the colour blue with March Blues Monochrome Colour Challenge.

Below is an image of where the crew are from around the globe. Such a wonderful group of creatives wanting to inspire you with our March Blues Monochrome Colour Challenge.



The beautiful blues chosen for this months hop are

Pool Party
Balmy Blue 
Boho Blue
Misty Moonlight
Night of Navy




I love all the colours for this challenge and wanted to make a blue floral card. The Stippled Roses Bundle was perfect for this colour challenge. I have teamed it with the Perrenial Postage Dies.




I have kept the card fairly simple with a white card base and mat layer. I cut out a Perennial Postage rectangle in Basic White and blended some Pool Party ink on it lightly with a blending brush. I then adheres to the centre of the card using Dimensionals.

I stamped the roses and leaves in Night of Navy before cutting them out using the coordinating dies. I then coloured  the roses image only in Balmy Blue, Boho Blue and Mist Moonlight Stampin' Blends.

I also cut two of the smaller leves in Basic White card stock. I arranged all pieces and adhered to the front of the Perrenial Postage rectangle using Dimensionals and glue.





I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on Basic White card stock before Die cutting it with the small Perrenial Postage rectangle. I cut a length of Night of Navy bordereed ribbon 1cm larger on either side of the sentiment label. Bannered the ends and adhere to the bottom right of the larger Perrenial Postage rectangle.

I settled on the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle and coordinating Designer Series Paper for this card. The bloom is so easy to work with and colour. And the labels perfect for any occasion.




The card base is Moody Mauve. The base layer Crumb cake and the DSP Moody Mauve. I stamped the image in Memento™ Tuxedo Black ink and coloured in with Stampin' Blends. The centre of the Bloom Melon Mambo and the petals Moody Mauve. The leaves are coloured with the Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker. I cut out the bloom using the coordinating dir. I also cut some solid leaves from Garden Green card stock to place around the bloom. I adhered the bloom and leaves to a Basic White label from the coordiating dies using Dimensionals and glue. Then adhere the label with blooms to the centre of the card using Dimensionals




Adhere a large Linen Thread bow to the right hand side of the blooms using glue. The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green on Basic White card stock and I used a Die cut from the coordinating dies to cut it out. Adhere to the right hand side of the bottom layer using Dimensionals. Sewcure three of the Moody Mauve In Colour Dots around the sentiment and bloom.

Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop - Technique Challenge

 



Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop for March 2023. 

This month the crew have a wonderful technique to share with you. One that I have not tried before this challenge and now I love it and want to use it more. The technique is Etching. A perfect way to colour your stamped images beautifully and easily.




I love the beautiful details of the teacup from the Everyday Details stamp set and decided that this would be the perfect image to colour using this technique for the first time. I really love how it has turned out.

The card base and mat layer are Pool Party and the Designer Series Paper is from the Subtles DSP. I cut a Pool Party strip to place behind the central circle from the Nested Essentials Dies. Love the shapes in this die set. I wrapped two lengths of Linen Thread around the centre of the die cut piece and tied it in a bow on the left hand side before gluing to the card base.

I stamped the teacup image in Memento™Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock and die cut it with a circle from the Everyday Detail Dies. To colour it I have used Stampin' Write Markers. To Etch I flicked the narrow tip of the Stampin' Write Marker from the top or side of the stamped image and let it taper out tothe centre of the area I was colouring. So quick, easy and fun!!

I stamped the sentiment in Pool Party ink on Basic White card stock and cut it out with a circle die from the every Details Dies. Adhere both circles using Dimensionals.
