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.

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.

PPA301 – A Color Challenge from Rae Harper

#PPA301 'Thank You'

A Color Challenge from Rae Harper 

I thoroughly adore colour challenges & this one is just gorgeous! The challenges always make me think outside my comfort zone....because when it comes to some colour combos I tend to get a little shy!

Well today's card was a last minute decision and was made after dinner tonight 23/5! 

I only just scraped in before the cut off time lol

Here is my card.

'THANK You' 

#watercolorwash #kocreationscards #helpingmegrow  #layeringsquaresframelits

I have been wanting to use the back ground stamp Watercolor Wash for quite some time and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to showcase it!

#watercolorwash #kocreationscards #helpingmegrow #layeringsquaresframelits

I coloured the stamp by using both Pool Party & Bermuda Bay on the stamp....overlapping the colours a little in the center of the stamp. I dabbed the stamp with a wet wipe in places before stamping very lightly onto a scrap piece of paper. I then stamped completely onto my Whisper White card stock & trimmed to required size.

When I coloured my flower I scribbled my Crushed Curry Stampin' Write marker on a large stamping block & used the Aqua Painter to pick up the colour. This enabled me to layer the colour how I wanted. I added Gold Wink of Stella to the flower centers. 

I fussy cut (rather roughly) around the flowers...as I wanted the effect of being die cut. Stamped the sentiment 'THANKS' onto Crushed Curry and used the rose garden thinlits for the sentiment shape. I stamped the small 'you' onto the bottom of the background.

After layering my Bermuda Bay & Crushed Curry cardstock under the Waterwash background I thought it looked a bit plain. So I grabbed some scrap crushed curry and my Layering Squares Framelits - available in the new catty June 1st - I cut one square and trimmed the edges down and placed them at the bottom of the centerpiece. To add a little more interest I added 3 Pool Party candy dots under the sentiment 'you'.

I stamped the same flowers slightly off the page on the inside of the card and colored the petals the same as the front.

To finish my card I tied Bermuda Bay thick bakers twine around the front of the card, but in a way so that you can see the colour on the inside too.

Thank you for stopping by my Blog, I do hope you enjoyed my card tonight and hopefully found some inspiration too

Here is a list of most of the items I used to make tonight's card. You can find the Layering Squares Framelits (item #141708) will become available on the 1st of July 2016
