Seaside INKspirations

Baja Daisies

Hello All!

Here is another card we made for April's class.  I really love the In Colors that Stampin' Up! showcased this year.  I'm already beginning to miss them and they still have two and a half more months before they're gone!  All supplies are © Stampin' Up!.  The card base is made using Pacific Point card stock.  It is such a gorgeous, intense color.  The stamp set used is Upsy Daisy, a very versatile set.  The butterfly is from the set, Flight of the Butterfly.  I hope to be using more of that set in the near future.  I used Sponge Daubers to ink the daisies stamp.  Turn your stamp so the rubber side is facing up on your work surface.  I started by inking a Sponge Dauber (love those) with Baja Breeze Classic ink and dabbing all the blooms.  Next I inked another Dauber with Pacific Point Classic Ink and randomly added some deeper color on some of the blossoms.  I used a Mellow Moss Stampin' Write Marker to color the stems.  You will have to "huff" on the stamp to remoisturize the ink before stamping.  I stamped the image on Whisper White card stock.  This is a terrific method of inking your stamps.  The butterfly is stamped in So Saffron Classic ink.  The greeting is from the set Hugs & Wishes.  I used Pacific Point ink, but stamped off once on a piece of scrap paper before stamping on the card stock.

Upsy Daisy Birthday

Hi Stampers!  Here's a birthday card I made for a friend.  I'm using Stampin' Up!'s set called Upsy Daisy.  I stamped the focal image in Baja Breeze Classic ink on Whisper White card stock.  The greeting is from the retired set, It's Your Birthday, and is stamped in Not Quite Navy Classic ink.  This is layered onto Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze cardstock.  The card base is Baja Breeze.  The next layer is Whisper White.  The top layer of this element is Not Quite Navy on the lower portion and a floral print from the Designer Series Paper, Urban Garden.  The vertical element is another design from Urban Garden and it's layered on Whisper White, Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze card stock.  These two elements are wrapped with the Baja Breeze Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and knotted.  The focal image is attached with Dimensionals.  Hope you like it and thanks so much for stopping by!  If you would like to purchase supplies to make this card, visit my website here and click "SHOP NOW" in the upper right.

Riding Hood Daisies

Hi Stampers!  Here's a card I made combining two challenges found over on SCS - this week's Color Challenge and Sketch Challenge.  The Color Challenge is to use  a combination of Riding Hood Red, Basic Gray and Always Artichoke. I chose to use Basic Gray as my card base and layer with the focal image.  The next layer uses several different papers from the Riding Hood Red Designer Paper.  I added dots around the different boxes with a Signo Gel Pen.  The main image is from the stamp set called Upsy Daisy.  I inked the image in Riding Hood Red Classic Ink, then removed the ink from the stems with a q-tip and added Always Artichoke using a Stampin' Write marker.  After layering to Basic Gray I attached the element using Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment with Versamark, dusted with White Embossing Powder and finished off with the Heat Gun to make a nice white image.  I added a quarter sheet of Whisper White card stock to the inside and stamped the corner with one of the images from Pocket Silhouettes using the Riding Hood Red ink and Always Artichoke marker.  I'm really happy with the way it came out.  What do you think?  Comments are always welcome and appreciated.  Thanks for stopping by!
