Stamping 411, Saturday Sketch #162

Hey everyone, I subscribe to Stamping 411's blog and every Saturday they have a new sketch challenge.  I liked how simple this one looked and figured I'd give it a try. 

Here is what I came up with.  I played with Poppy Parade, one of this year's In Colors, along with the Hostest Level 1 Designer Series Paper (also in Poppy Parade).  I added a layer of Whisper White ran it through the big shot using the Perfect Details Texturz Plate, for a little added dimension. The flowers were also done with the big shot using the Floral Fusion die. 

The little flowers in the center were punched out with the 4 petal flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  1st done in Whisper White, then again with the same DSP I used for the background. 

Finally I stamped Thanks from the Thank You Kindly stamp set, in Poppy Parade and layered it again on the same DSP!  Let me know what you think. 

 

 

If you want to check out where I got this idea from just go to Stamping 411. 

1st Post

Ok, so this is my very 1st post on my new blog. I'm really just trying things out to see how it all works.

I'm so excited to get this blog up and going. I am a new Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and I'm very excited to share what I love.

I had my 1st Open House this weekend and we had a great time.

This is the make & take that we made! It's 2x4 and fits inside the scalloped envelop that is made with the Big Shot!

The Bird (from Fun & Fast Notes) is colored with the basic black marker, and then colored in with pastels. The colors are Regal Rose, So Saffron, and Basic Black. I also used the Fast Flowers roller, rolled in Versa mark for the background on the Regal Rose cardstock. I also used the Fast Flower roller with Regal Rose ink on the flap of the envelop!

I roughed up the edge of the white cardstock with the Paper Distressing tool from the Cutter Kit. And used the Basic Black from the Pastels.

I hope you like my first card that I posted! Leave me a note and let me know what you think!
