Stampin' With Michelle Pepper

Today's share is a duo of cards made from one floral die cut from the Artistic Dies     I placed the Basic White Floral diecut from my previous project on to a piece of Basic White. Holding it in place with my fingers, I used blending brushes to blend the colours of Colour INKspiration Challenge #101 (see chart below) onto the floral diecut, being careful not to move the diecut itself.   When it was done, I have a beautiful floral arrangement which I then simply adhered to a piece of Evening Evergreen. I mounted this on top of an Evening Evergreen card base already embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. A generous splash of Wink of Stella gave the card shimmer - and almost a galaxy space look. The sentiment is one of my favourites ever - and is from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set. Now when you lift the diecut off the Basic White, you'll see the floral detail in white. I sponged on the rest of the card in Balmy Blue, taking care not to put colour on the white fl

I didn't even use twine (which you will have noticed features in almost every card I make, even more than rhinestones!). I cut out the intricate floral twice - one in Gold Foil, and another in Basic White. The latter, I saved to use as a stencil on another project (Spoiler alert: that will be my next blogpost). What I wanted was the negative part, which I sponged Balmy Blue on with the blending brush. I then adhere this piece on top of a similar size of Pale Papaya (doesn't have to be exact size, just as long as it is big enough to cover the "hole" or the negative. Then I apply Multipurpose Glue lightly on the gold foil floral die cut, and adhered it inlaid into the negative of the now Balmy Blue piece. Adhere on the Soft Succulent card base, pop o

I was inspired to make a card with a backdrop of three panels (thank you Cindy Schuster @thecraftycarrotco). Since I was working with white, I decided it is a good time to experiment with colours.

You can always emboss to create interest and texture. Here I have used the Greenery Mini Emboss Folders 2: Build your focal motif by grouping different elements together. The flower, feather and greenery were all from the stamp set Tasteful Touches . 3: Popping a bit of yellow of some kind can make a card pop. That strip of yellow pattern paper was from the "discarded" stash - do you have one of those on your stamping desk too? 4: I think I always love the look of white embossed sentiment on a black card. I just think it goes with everything! The sentiment is from Hydrangea Haven. 5: Don't overthink
