Hello and thanks for stopping by :)
Today I am participating in the Ink & Share Blog Hop, where every month a number of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world hop together to share our creations to help inspire you in your paper crafting journey. My name is Kirsten, and I am from Canberra, Australia. "G'Day" :)
For todays hop and we will be sharing our projects inspired by this months theme: Spring/Easter
My Spring themed card layout inspiration comes from this weeks Caseing The Catty challenge #CTC170, where I have CASEd the layout of the Happy Easter card on page 30 of the 2018 Occasions Catalogue.
Here is my card:
To get a little colour variation in my stems and flowers, I have inked up the stamp in one colour and using a sponge dauber, added a little bit of darker ink. Looks pretty cool, huh? My flowers use a combination of Pink Pirouette & Flirty Flamingo inks and the flower stems use a combination of Pear Pizzazz and Garden Green.
A couple of flowers were stamped and die cut. To add a little depth, these have been adhered using some dimensionals.
Did you know you can colour ribbon any colour you like? There are a number of products you can use to colour ribbon, but for this card I have used my Flirty Flamingo ink pad and a sponge dauber. Cool... now you can never say you don't have matching ribbon :)
My Congratulations sentiment received the same ink treatment as my flowers and has been cut out using the Petals & More label framelit and adhered using dimensionals.
Before adhering my flower bouquet to my card front, I have added a strip of Silvery DSP, from the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.
Thanks so much for your support and for visiting me today :)

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Pryl :) I too am always looking for new ways to add ribbon to my cards as a bow doesn't always suit. This way is perfect as it looks great and is quick and easy too.
