Floral Birthday | Stampin' Blends & Petal Passion DSP Part 2

Welcome and thanks for popping by :)

Last week I shared my Admin inspiration for the latest Aussies Who Love Stampin' Up! Facebook Group fortnightly challenge #AWLSU011. You can check out my cards by clicking here.



Well, I had 2 more pieces of this gorgeous Designer Series Paper left over from my original 3 cards and I just had to turn them into cards as well.




What do you think?

I love them.... they are so different than my previous cards due to the simple layout and a lot more white framing the coloured flowers. With just a little touch of shine from the Silver Metallic Edged Ribbon.




To guide my colour palette for each card, I was inspired by the most predominant colours used to colour the flowers in each piece of DSP.




The above card uses Night of Navy for the card base and Bermuda Bay for the Birthday sentiment.

My second card (below) uses Real Red for the card base and Old Olive for the Birthday sentiment.

Stampin' Blends | Aussies Who Love Stampin' Up! Challenge #011


Hi and thanks for visiting :)

This week our latest fortnightly challenge starts over on the Aussies Who Love Stampin' Up! Facebook Group.

Our latest challenge #AWLSU011 is a Technique Challenge, and for this round the technique is Colouring. Just use any Stampin' Up! medium to colour with on your project.




Myself and the other group admins will share our creations to start off each challenge and hopefully help kick-start and inspire your creativity.


If you live in Australia and are interested in participating in our fortnightly challenges, click here to join the group :)

**********

If you've read some of my other posts, you may know that I am a bit of a DSP collector (insert.... hoarder).

One of my favourite sheets of DSP so far in my long collecting history is a black & white floral design from the recently retired Petal Passion Designer Series Paper. Now I am trying to change my ways and to #loveitchopit. So rather than keeping this beautiful paper unused forever, I decided to colour in a 6x12 piece of this DSP that I had in my stash, using my Stampin' Blends.

Once I'd coloured it in, I chopped it up and made a couple of Birthday cards.

Here is what I came up with:




This card uses Daffodil Delight for the card base and Old Olive for the sentiment and ribbon




This card uses Rich Razzleberry for the card base and sentiment, with some Gold Metallic Thread and Gold sequins.




This card uses Bermuda Bay for the card base and sentiment, with some Silver Metallic Thread and Silver sequins.



Thanks so much for your support and for visiting me today :)
