CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF915

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch...

...another great sketch that shows off beautiful DSP from the Brushed With Beauty pack. I picked the colors from the DSP to stamp the bloom in Calypso Coral, the flower center in Darling Duckling, and leaves in Mossy Meadow, as well as the strip of Calypso Coral cardstock between the DSP strips.

A little bit of texture was added by embossing the cardstock strip, and using the Spotlight on Nature die for the Mossy Meadow mat behind the image.

Measurements

Card base: Basic White 4-1/4" x 11", scored/folded at 5-1/2"
DSP strips: Brushed With Beauty 1-3/8" x 4" (x 3)
Narrow strip: Calypso Coral 3/4" x 4-1/4", embossed

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Repetitive Backgrounds

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is making a repetitive background using an image or greeting. One of the top items on my demonstrator preorder (from the upcoming May-Aug catalog) was the All Aflutter stamp and punch bundle because...butterflies!

I used the butterfly trio stamp for the repeating background with Golden Glow ink, stamped off once each time it was inked. Then the butterflies were stamped again with Memento ink, colored with the Golden Glow Stampin' Blends, punched with the coordinating punch, and popped up with dimensionals.

The DSP behind the butterflies was die cut with Scalloped Blooms Dies with one adhered to the card base with multipurpose glue and the top one popped up on dimensionals.

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF914

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge colors are Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, and Granny Apple Green.

These lively, bright colors are perfect for floral images, so I put them to work on the beautiful Flowers Fair stamp. You can use it as a background stamp like I did last Saturday, or choose just part of the image, as I did here, to make a flower border.

The Crumb Cake stripe is part of the Brushed With Beauty DSP, and there's another pattern with the same colors that makes a great background! I stamped the greeting from A Round of Hellos directly on the DSP so it would circle the flower.

Since Stampin' Up! doesn't have a Crushed Curry Stampin' Blend set, the work-around is to layer Dark Darling Duckling and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends for a perfect curry!
