Hello again! I have a card for you that uses a few different sets. I mainly wanted to featured the Knit Together (a background stamp from the Aug-Dec 2021 Mini) which will be carrying over to next year and I combined it with the Peaceful Deer set (also carrying over) and the new set from the upcoming Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalogue (which I have already featured) Blessings of Home. I combined this with the Seasonal Swirls Dies which are now retired, as well as the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper.

Hello again! Today's card is one I have entered into the TGIF Challenges #TGIFC336 Colour Challenge this week. The colours in the challenge this week were Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Blackberry Bliss.

Now this week's challenge was a really tricky one for me. As you would know it is Spring in Australia, so the deep and rich colours for this challenge kind of threw me for a loop for a few days and of course I am entering at the last minute for that reason. I used watercolouring as a technique to diffuse the deep colours and create multiple different shades of the Basic Black and Blackberry Bliss.

For this card I used the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp, Sunflowers Dies, Seasonal Swirls Dies and used techniques such as watercolouring, fussy cutting and heat embossing.

Hello again! Today's card is one I have entered into the Global Design Challenge #GDP310 Sketch Challenge this week. I was a little undecided on what to use to make this card this week, but I ended up using 'scraps from my desk' from previous projects.

For this card I used the Lovely You Stamp Set, Seasonal Swirls and Christmas Cheer Dies, Cork and Be Dazzling Specialty Paper, In Colour Shimmer Vellum and the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.

Hello and welcome back to my blog. You are visiting Ann Alexander from Australia. Today I have a card for the "Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop". Our theme this month is "Pick a Season". I decided to pick Spring as that is the current season here in Australia. My floral card reminded me of some of the beautiful flowers I see in my neighbourhood. 

I used one of the new sets from the Aug-Dec Mini Catalogue, the "Seasonal Swirls Dies" (which coordinates with the Sparkle of the Season Stamp Set). I also used the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration item). I combined it with a sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set, ink blending to add colour to the wreaths and some Loose Flower Flourishes.

Instructions:

- Use a piece of Basic White card A4/Letter cut in half lengthwise and folded. Use a piece of the Beautifully Penned DSP and attach a piece of same sized Vellum to it using Adhesive Sheets. Once adhered, attach to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

- Use a piece of Basic White card and die cut 2 wreaths using the Seasonal Swirls Dies. Use a Blending Brush and add Polished Pink and Pale Papaya to some of the various leaves. Die cut some separate leaves using the same dies and then use the Blending Brush to add Soft Succulent ink to them as well. Adhere the wreaths and leaves using Liquid Glue. Add some Loose Flower Flourishes and adhere with Mini Glue Dots.

- Use a piece of Basic Black card and stamp a sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set with Versamark and heat emboss with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Attach to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. Add some flower flourishes

Measurements:

- Basic White Card base A4/Letter cut in half lengthwise and folded

- Beautifully Penned DSP: A4 5 7/8" x 3 7/8"/ 14.9 x 10 cm or Letter 4" x 5 1/2"

- Vellum: A4 5 7/8" x 3 7/8"/ 14.9 x 10 cm or Letter 4" x 5 1/2"
