Rose Wonder Birthday Card - Weekend Blog

Hi all and welcome to my Blog.


Today I have made a beautiful card using the Rose Wonder SU stamp set, embossing and stamping




I started this card with a piece of Garden Green cardstock - 1/2 an A4 sheet, scored half way across and burnished.

I have cut out a matt in Whisper white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" and a similar size piece of watercolour paper




I stamped the watercolour with versamark ink and heat embossed it using silver embossing powder, dont forget to use the Embossing  Buddy



I then painted the rose using drops of ink dripped onto a stamping block and using a Aquapainter to give shadeing to the rose. I have used Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Garden Green re inkers. When I am painting or colouring and then going to fussy cut out, I tend to paint slightly over the outline, so that I do not end up with white edges to my shape



Once dry, I cut out the rose and mounted it on the Whisper White Matt with dimensionals and added a few small flowers stamps and some Faceted Gems for effect. I added a Wink of Stella to the rose and leaves to give a glimmer effect.The inside was stamped with a sentiment and a small flower from the Birthday Blooms set.



I have also done this card using ordinary cardstock instead of watercolour paper. I like both effects. Below is embossed on card and then watercolour


I hope you have enjoyed this post and I would love you to leave a message.

Happy Stampin'

Weekend Blog - Birthday Card, New Spring / Summer Picture Perfect Birthday

Welcome back to my Weekend Blog



Today I made a Birthday Card for my eldest  grandaughter who is 22 - Where did the years go?


I used Night of Navy and Whisper White Cardstock.
I embossed the large matt with embossing paste mixed with Lemon Lime Twist ink and when dry, trimmed and mounted it on the card front.

I cut out 2 matts, one in Night of Navy and a slightly smaller one in Whisper White using the Layering Squares Framelits Dies

I stamped the Whisper White with the very pretty birthday sentiment from the new Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set and added wild rose from the Graceful Garden Stamp set. I love the font of this sentiment. I also stamped the insert with these stamp sets. 




I coloured the roses with stampin' write markers - Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzaz and Garden Green, and added a clear "Wink of Stella" over the top to give a lovely shimmery effect.
Finishing touches are a bow made with the navy checked Gingham ribbon and a couple of Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

Stampin' Up! Thankful Crafty Cupcakes Team Blog Hop


Welcome to the Crafty Cupcakes Team Stampin' Up! Blog Hop for November 2017.
 Each month members of the Team take part in our Team Blog Hop to share with you our cards and projects made using the fabulous Stampin' Up! products. 

You are currently visiting Jenny Dowding in UK and below you will see the full list of everyone taking part. To move to the next blog just click the name after mine in the list.

This month our theme is "Thankful" and as we have just had Remembrance Day in UK, I felt that I had to made a Remembrance card.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.


Making the card

For the card I have used Wild Wasabi and Very Vanilla cardstock and water coloured with Real Red and Wild Wasabi ink and my Aquapainter. I used Birthday Blooms, Thankful Thoughts and the small T in the Back to Basics stamp set for the Crosses. I cut out the matts for the front using the Layering Squares Framelits dies and added an edge of the Vintage Crochet Trim.

I felt quite sad and emotional when making this card, as I feel that we should not just say "Thank You" on Remembrance Day, but should always have the sacrifice of those Servicemen of yesteryear and today in our hearts. 




Thank you once again for visiting my blog and taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss so make sure you carry on hopping through the list.
