For my project I decided to challenge myself to create a card using products from the Beautiful Gallery Suite and use the challenge colours more gently, in keeping with the vintage feel of this suite. I also wanted to use the Designer Series Paper that coordinates with the suite and found the perfect piece.

The card base is Gray Granite as is the frame. The designer Series Paper was cut as a mat layer and glued to the card front. I stamped the detailed image repeatedly on the frame once die cut. I love the texture and depth this gave to the frame. I cut a piece of Fluid 100 card stock to fit inside the frame and used a Blending Brush anD Coastal Cabana Ink to gently colour it before gluing to the frame. The frame was adhered to the top of the DSP layer using Dimensionals.

I stamped the floral image in Gray Granite ink on Fluid 100 card stock and coloured it using a Water Painter and Gray Granite, Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger ink. I then Die cut it along with four of the small detailed die cuts in Gray Granite card stock.

I tied a length of the Basic Beige Ribbon in a bow and adhered it to the bottom right of the frame using GlueDots™. I then adhered the smaller die cut pieces to the back of the floral piece using glue. I then adhered the floral piece to the top of the bow using Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Gray Granite ink on Fluid 100 card stock. I then cut it down to size using scissors and adhered to the card front using Dimensionals. Then added three of the Holographic Resin Dots around the sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you join us for this challenge! Have a great week.

Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop - Seasons

Hello and welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop for May. The 5 year celebrations continue for our crew and this month we are CASeing my lovely friend and fellow Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop member, Cheryll Miller. 

I love Cheryll's creative expertise and have been huge fan of her work for many years. She is also a fellow Australian and I love catching up with her at our events. I feel very fortunate to call Cheryll a friend. There is always a lot of fun when we catch up.

there were so many wonderful projects to CASe when I looked through Cheryll's Blog.  I decided to use my new Impressions Abloom Bundle and set about looking for something I could CASe. I love this card that Cheryll made and found it to be very elegant. I managed to make it work with my chosen bundle and used the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder on the background as well as the coordinating stitched die cut oval.

I used similar colours to Cheryll's car as I love the freshness of them together. Representing Spring to me! The card base is Blueberry Bushel with an Azure Afternoon mat layer. The embossed layer is Basic White as is the oval stitched piece that I glued down on top of the embossed layer.

I die cut the leaves and the blooms from Blueberry Bushel, Azure Afternoon and Old Olive card stock. They are just gorgeous die cut elements. Then I cut some leaves from Vellum. I stamped the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink on a piece of Basic White card stock and used Paper Snips to trim. I adhered all these pieces to the card front using glue. Then I adhered the sentiment layer on top using Dimensionals.

I tied a piece of Linen Thread in a double bow and glued it to the top of the blooms on the left hand side of the card. The final touch was three Azure Afternoon Adhesive Backed Dots.
