GET WELL SOON... Stamp With Us Challenge!

I have made a promise to myself that I am going to make some time each Saturday morning to complete a challenge or at least a dedicated hour to make a card! So this week I decided that I would do the Stamp With Us challenge that I always love doing and I haven't done for ages! I have used the new Stampin Up! colours rich razzleberry and soft suede coupled with summer sun. I have used the stamp set pocket silhouettes and a clear brad to attached a tab of rinbbon.

I have stamped random images of the pocket silhouettes across the base of the card firstly in soft suede stamped off and then in the gaps used summer sun. Across the whole of the bottom of the card I have stamped rich razzleberry. I have then inked the edges of the card and nounted this on soft suede and then again on rich razzleberry inking the edges of the stamped panel. I have attached the tab of ribbon to the left hand side of the card using one of the clear rhinestone brads from stampin' up I love these and use them far more than other ones!

I have then attached the panel off set on the card to the left hand side and stamped the get well soon verse from curvey verses in the bottom right hand side. I have loved using this stamp set in the last couple of weeks - but it has to go away now! I chose to use this set for the get well card bacause even though the flowers are simple used with seperate coours I think that they are really cheery!
My next challenge is stamping candles - eekkkk!
I hope you like the card and thanks for looking your comments are appreciated - Debbi x x x

Babywipe.... some more

The second card that I made using the babywipe I decided to do in rich razzleberry, my best friend has just decorated her bedroom this colour and I have made her a card to match - so I thought it would compliment well! I have used the babywipe for the background of the panel with both rich razzleberry and close to cocoa - I dabbed the babywipe in the ink and then gently tapped this on my grid paper to take some of the excess of as I wanted just a touch of colour. I have then mounted the panel on soft suede and decorated with a ribbon and a clear brad to add a bit of bling. I then mounted this onto rich razzleberry card and I have attached to  a white card blank and stamped the sentiment in rich razzleberry to the bottom left hand side of the card.

INK - close to cocoa, rich razzleberry

Pocket Silhouettes...

For the recent blog hop you saw that I made a card holder and a set of cards - the tutorial that Jo (mainly flowers) came up with used the stamp set pocket silhouettes a set that I love and I was very tempted to use it on Sunday but I decided on the I heart (heart) set.
However got the set out anyway... I have been having a play around over the last few weeks with the babywipe technique there are two reasons for this 1) the effect that you get and how the build up of colour is very subtle and 2) I cannot use my brayer without the card looking like a deckchair - managed it once with the supervision of Helen but practice is needed and I will definately have another go at this in the next couple of weeks.
Over the next week I will be showing you a set of cards that I created Sunday night and they were very quick to complete - firstly I cut card to make the panels and then I babywiped the card to the desired colour. I then left them to dry. This was followed by stamping the panel with pocket silhouettes and adding the sentiments. I have used the colours soft suede, summer sun and melon mambo. I mounted the panel on soft suede and then again on melon mambo, I mounted this panel onto a card blank off centre and added a piece of melon mambo ribbon to the right hand side.
The sentiment is from curvy verses and one of the stamp sets that I earned with the sale-a-bration promotion earlier on in the year! Thanks for looking and your comments are appreciated Debbi x x x
