Wild About Flowers - You'll be Missed #PP263 #FMS199

One of my most favourite Stampin' Up! colours is Rich Razzleberry. It combines so well with so many colours, so once I say the Colour challenge over at Pals Paper Arts I knew this was going to be a good card! However I was a litte uncertain about the Tempting Turquoise. I've paired Rich Razzle with greens, yellows, but never blues. So I would never have thought to pair it with Tempting Turquoise myself .  In the right amojjunts I think I have come up with a really lovely, fresh & simple card.

 Here are the card measurements so you too can create this card:

• Standard Australian C6 card base in Whisper White Thick Cardstock (half A4 sheet)
• Pear Pizzazz Frame - 3-3/4" x 5-1/2"
• Whisper White Panel -  3-5/8" x 5-3/8"
• Rich Razzleberry Banner - 1/2" wide

Todays card is inspired by the lovely designers over at Pals Paper Arts 263  & Freshly Made Sketches 199

Carolina's Tip's & Techniques
Flowers -This is a 2 step stamp set, I inked up the stems in Pear Pizzazz and coloured the flower buds in with my Rich Razzle marker.
Sentiment -  I think its much more interesting to play around with the framing pieces, 2 circles halves in different colours to match the rest of the card
Banner - I love the Brights DSP pack but for this card the white writing on the paper was distracting away from the flowers so I sponged over it with Rich Razzle ink.
Blue Dots - I used the dots stamp from the Watercolor Wings Stamp set to softly decorate the bottom, by stamping off in Tempting Turquiose.

Happy Notes - Moving Card #PP262 #FabFri70

We took a lovely walk up to the You Yangs today with the kids and I knew we would return after dark. So cheeky me took my card on the trip and while it was still daylight I took some photos.
A family member recently moved house so this card is going to be perfect for them.

Here's how I created it... (card measurements are detailed further down in this post!)
I stamped the backgound with Tip Top Taupe ink with the dot image from 'Work of Art' - love this!
Next I used my Stampin' Write Markers to colour the very cute and heavily loaded car image from 'Happy Notes' onto the white piece - the sentiment comes as part of the car image stamp and because I wanted a bit of space inbetween so I could add my lovely Pool Party cotton ribbon, I stamped them separately - coloured and stamped the car first, then cleaned my stamp, then coloured and stamped my sentiment further down the paper.

I bet you're asking what I used to create the cute corners? Well I'm excited to say that available soon in the Holiday Catalogue (Sept 1st 2015) you will see the 'Curvy Corner Punch'. 1 punch with 3 designs! I have used 2 here the scalloped edge and the double curve. The other design is a ribbon slide.

 Layer all the pieces together with dimensionals, add some ribbon and a cute button and we're done.!
 Here are the card measurements so you too can create this card:

• Standard Australian C6 card base in Tip Top Taupe Cardstock (half A4 sheet)
• Mint Macaron Frame - 3" x 5"
• Pool Party Frame -  2-1/2" x 4-1/2"
• Whisper White Panel - 2" x 3-1/2"

 My card is inspired by 2 challenges, here are the inspirational pics from Pals Paper Arts 262 & Fab Friday 70

I've added this colour swatch that features the colours on my card. Please feel free to pin it to your pinterest boards!
