Stampin' Up Blended Seasons Take Three

Stampin Up Blended Seasons
Hello Crafty friends.  I am back with another card featuring Stampin' Up Blended Seasons stamp set.  This is a simple one layer card.  This card is cased from another company's blog.  I fell in love with the simplicity of leaving the flowers white with a purple outline.  First I created a mask of the floral stamp with masking paper I purchased from Amazon.  I then stamped the flower stamp in the center of the card with Gorgeous grape.  I covered the stamped image with the mask that I created the blended Gorgeous Grape, Blueberry Bushel and Coastal Cabana with a Stamping Sponge over the mask and card front.  Once all of the ink was good and dry I pulled off the mask and had a beautiful crisp white flower.  I stamped a sentiment from the Blended Seasons stamp set with Versamark ink then heat embossed it with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. I added a few of the iridescent white sequins from the Metallics Sequin Assortment for a final touch.  For whatever reason the sequins photographed a magenta color.  I tried everything to capture more of the white color in them but they just kept showing up magenta.

Stampin' Up Blended Seasons Take Two

Stampin Up Blended Seasons

Hello Crafty friends! I am back with another card featuring the Stampin' Up Blended Seasons Stamp set.  My background was inspired by the beautiful custom wood signs I see on Etsy.   While I love the white lettering and accents on the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, I must have color.  I started my card by stamping the "Thinking of You" sentiment from the Stampin' Up Rooted in Nature stamp set and the leaves from the Blended Seasons stamp set using Versamark on a piece of
Wood Textures Designer Series Paper then  heat embossed it with White Stampin' Emboss Powder.  I then mixed a little Whisper White Craft Stampin' Ink Refill with water and splattered a bit on my background.  I stamped the Blended Seasons leaves, a leaf from Rooted in nature and a leaf from Colorful Seasons in Night of Navy and fussy cut them. I colored the leaves with sponge daubers using Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Rich Razzleberry, Gorgeous Grape, Lovely Lipstick and Cajun Craze.  I LOVE all of the rich color! I layered my panel on a Rich Razzleberry card base and Lemon Lime Twist layer.  I added Stampin' Dimensionals to a few of the leaves for a little added dimension.  I added a few silver sequins from the Metallics Sequin Assortment as the finishing touch.

Stampin' Up Blended Seasons Challenge

Stampin Up Blended Seasons
Hello crafty friends!  My card today features the Stampin' Up Blended Seasons Stamp set. The floral stamp in this set is my favorite.  It is beautiful!  My goal today was to keep the card as simple as possible and I believe I succeeded.  I randomly stamped the floral stamp on a 4.25 x 5.5 whisper white panel.   I ended up with a really interesting angle that I liked.  On a  scrap piece of thick whisper white I stamped the full image then fussy cut it.  I used Stampin' Blends to color the fussy cut piece.  To add a little extra color to the background I splattered it with Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green ink and my Aqua Painter.  I popped up the fussy cut piece with some Stampin' Dimensionals.  I stamped the thank you sentiment from the Daisy Delight stamp set with Versamark Ink then heat embossed it with black embossing powder.  I love the pop of color on the simple background.
