I made the Granny Apple Green four leaf clover using the little heart in the Punch Party stamp set, free during Sale-A-Bration which ends today.  I used the Stitched Shapes Framelets to cut out the square.  The little blades of grass are from Nature's Beauty and are a combination of Granny Apple Green and Just Jade, on a 4 x 1 strip.  The 'good luck'  is from Art Gallery stamp set, and cut out with the Floral Gallery dies.  I used Stampin' Blends Markers and the narrowest  watercolour painter to create the spots of colour.  The Granny Apple Green card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 with a Just Jade layer 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and Basic White layer 4 x 5 1/4. 

Thx for visiting and have a super day! 

Global Design Project #280 - Positive Thoughts (#GDP280)

 Hello, thx for visiting!  I hope todays post will inspire you to create!  This weeks GDP is a CASE the designer challenge.  CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit.  

Originally I made a pack of these simple design cards while up north last summer using few supplies.  I love the colour combo of Pear Pizzaz, Smoky Slate and Basic White with a pop of colour.  When I saw the challenge for this week I decided to re-visit the card and add in some additional greys.  

Please click on the picture to be taken to the Global Design Challenge #280.

Here's the details:

Basic White Thick cardstock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 portrait card base; Smoky Slate layer 3 3/4 x 5; Basic White Thick 3 5/8 x 4 7/8 layer.

The fern leaf is stamped in Pear Pizzazz with a light wash of Mint Macaron brushed over with the Blending Brushes.  The butterfly is from Butterfly Gala and coloured with Stampin' Blends Markers in Light Balmy Blue, Light Seaside Spray and Light Pool Party and punched out with the Butterfly Duet punch.  

The Well Suited Designer Series Paper is cut in 3/4 x 4 1/4 pieces punched twice with the Banner Triple Punch.  I added Shimmer Ribbon to the back of the 1 x 3 3/4 piece of basic white and popped up the sentiment with dimensionals. 

And here is a picture of the original card, which do you prefer?  Have a super day!

Fab Friday 207 Entry - Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder & Best Year Stamp Set

 Hello,  todays card is inspired by the simplicity of the Fab Fri 207 sketch.  

Click on the image to go to the Fab Friday 207 site

I started with Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and embossed it with the fabulous Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.  I tried to enhance the colour around the folds of texture, similar to what I thought a painters palette might look like as colour is blended.  Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Balmy Blue are blended with Water Painters.  I spritzed the watercolour paper first with the Stampin' Spritzers to relax the paper fibers and enhance the 3D effect. 

The sentiment is from Best Year stamp set.  I carefully stamped Granny Apple Green on the bottom and Coastal Cabana on the top of the Thank you, then stamped off, hoping to mimic the watercoloured look on the embossed layer.  Then I cut the image in half and raised the 'Thank You' on dimensionals.  The bottom script font,  'for all that you are'  is  Granny Apple Green and adhered to Reversible Ribbon, (pretty Peacock side) and then glued onto the embossed layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The Bermuda Bay card base is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4, with a 4 5/8 x 3 3/8 layer of Coastal Cabana, topped with the Fluid 100 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 layer. 

Enjoy, and have a super day!
