International Blog Highlights - Change Of Life Circumstances

Welcome back everyone 😊

Today I am taking part in Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights.

Our theme this month is Life Changing Events or Circumstances.
As some friends of mine are soon holding an engagements party, They just made the first step towards a life together.
 I thought the card I created for them would be perfect for this hop.

Anyone in the world can vote for the card they love the best in the gallery available.

Love is in the Air - #CI18

Welcome back everyone 😊

I had some time to create yesterday so once again I looked through my list of upcoming events that I have in my Diary.

I found that I have an engagement party to attend soon as well as a wedding.

So I got cracking and created two gorgeously sweet cards just for these purposes. You will only see one here today though.

I am entering them both into the colour challenge at Colour Inkspiration challenge this week #CI18

The colours are Powder Pink, Basic Grey, Sahara Sand and Sweet Sugarplum.

I have entered one card already, but as I used the above colours again for this card I thought, why not enter again 😊

and here it is.

Love Tabs Gift Set

#KOCreationscards #Tabsforeverything #Gracefulgarden #Sheetmusic #Vintage #Roses #Garden #Cardmaking #Stampinup

My card base is thick Whisper White card stock with a layer of Chocolate Chip card stock.
I stamped my Sheet Music onto normal whisper white using the stamping off technique.
This gave me a faded and patchy look which lent itself more to the vintage feel I was after.

Using the stamp-a-ma-jig so I could stamp 2 colours on the same stamp I stamped my rose in Rich Razzleberry first cleaning off any excess colour from the leaf area before stamping. I then cleaned my stamp and inked it in Lemon Lime Twist again wiping of any excess only this time from the petals.
Once completely stamped I water coloured the whole flower, stem and leaves. Blending Rich Razzleberry, Lemon Lime Twist Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight. I added clear Wink of Stella around the highlights of the rose plus 3 clear Perfect Accents..I made them clear by removing the white backing!
When all of the colour was dry I stamped the rose outline again in Rich Razzleberry to redefine the image and then fussy cut it out.

Pillow Box

I decorated my pillow box to match my card. I used the same elements from the card just on a smaller scale.

I have also added this gift set to the Global Design Project challenge this week #GDP099 with the theme of Wedding/Anniversary, this gift set fitted their theme to perfection!

The layers beneath the rose are wide black dotted white Washi Tape, Linen Thread, Black Mini Sequins and a doily cut in half. I placed the rose on top mounted on Mini Dimensionals.

I used the Tabs For Everything as a means to attach my sentiment and placed it beside the rose with multipurpose glue.

 For the inside of my card I simply stamped the smaller rose and quickly gave it a colour wash to match the front.
