Good Morning Magnolia for #PCC356

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you my project for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge.  The sketch for this week is a great one that's open to so many possibilities.  For my Card today I used products from the Magnolia Lane Suite.  Here's a look at my card.

I decided to do a little no line stampin' blend coloring on my card today.  Here's a look at the sketch that inspired my card today.  You can click on the image below to visit the Paper Craft Crew Website and see what the other design team members created this week, and if you want to play along you can do that there as well.

Tips & Tricks: 

I started my card with a Purple Posy card base cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  I stamped the small magnolia from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set around my card base in Purple Posy ink.  Yes, Purple Posy is officially out and able to be purchased.  The issue with the ink has been fixed and it's working great now.  Once I had that image stamped all out I stamped it on a scrap of Thick Whisper white cardstock so that I could do a little no line stampin' blend coloring.  
But, before I did my no line coloring I colored a piece of the Magnolia Lane Designer series paper with my Purple Posy Stampin' Blends.  This is a great way to alter your designer series paper to match your projects.  I used another pattern from the same pack of paper matted to a piece of Mossy Meadow Cardstock.  I have another piece of Mossy Meadow behind that as well.  I also added a small strip of basic black between the card base and the designer series paper.  
To do my no line coloring I stamped the image in Purple Posy Ink.  But, to get the shade light enough I stamped it on a scrap paper and then onto my thick whisper white cardstock.  Even with Purple Posy being a super light color I still wanted it to be just a little lighter.  I started my coloring with the stem and leaves.  For that I used my Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends in both light and dark.  For the flower I used Purple Posy Light and dark and Highland Heather Light and Dark.  The flower took the longest time to color.  The thing with no line coloring is that you have to color the image dark enough so that you have a clear divide between each petal.  Basically you have to have a clear difference between your shadows and highlights, maybe that will make it more understandable.  
To finish off my card I popped up the magnolia bloom using a Stampin' Dimensional, and added the sentiment strip and a few basic Rhinestones.  I hope that you have enjoyed my little card today, and that you will give it a try.  Thanks for dropping by I am happy that you did.  Just a little side note today kicked off the 24 Hour Stamp Sale over at my online store.  You will find a select section of stamps there.  The sale ends tonight at 11:59 Mountain Time.  
Happy Stampin'

Stampin' Blends Coloring - Christmastime is Here

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card I made with the upcoming Christmastime Is Here Suite of products that will release for a limited time in November.  The stamp set in this suite is a duo configuration stamp set; meaning you get two stamp sets one is a Cling Mount set and one is a Photopolymer set.  With this configuration you get both styles.  The cling stamp is just the outline image and the photopolymer set is designed to layer the colors into the outline.  I just stamped the outline image and colored it with my stampin' blends.  Here's a look at my card.

I love this stamp set and love the Christmas feel.  As I mentioned this is from a Limited Time Release coming in November.  In the suite that is coming there's the two stamp sets, matching dies, enamel dots, ribbon and designer series paper.  I will share another post next week with all the products from this suite.  I stamped the outline image onto a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock using my Stamparatus and some Tuxedo Black Ink.  I did this because it's a larger stamp and I wanted to be able to stamp it twice if I didn't get a good impression the first time.
Once I got it stamped out I used my Stampin' Blends to color the image.  I colored the rose first using the light and dark Cherry Cobbler Combo Pack.  I colored the entire rose image with Cherry Cobbler Light first and put down a base color.  I then came back with my dark to add my shadows, and then went back in with my light to blend it out.  I did this on each petal, one at a time.
Next I worked on the leaves and colored them with Pretty Peacock light and dark blends.  This time I did them a little different.  I started with the dark and then came back in with the light.  With both I flicked in the colors and let the ink blend together.  Next I worked on the pine cones.  They were colored with Crumb Cake and Soft Suede stampin blends.  I then colored the pine branches with Shaded Spruce, put both light and dark in not really blending, but picking certain needles to be each color.  This gives the illusion of light and dark needles.  I wanted a different shade berry so I used Poppy Parade to color them.
To embellish my card I did some ink platter on my Whisper White Thick panel with my Shaded Spruce Blends.  And let that dry and then added some of the gold enamel dots in the limited time release suite, and popped the rose bundle up on dimensionals.

Thanks for dropping by by today, I hope that you have enjoyed the little walk through of my card.
Remember that the products in the Christmastime is Here Suite will release on November 1, 2019.  And they are only while supplies last.  I will be back again tomorrow with a new project for you see you then.

Hello Floral Card-To A Wild Rose

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card that I made yesterday using the To A Wild Rose Stamp Set and some of my Stampin' Blends.  To A Wild Rose is a great layering stamp set that actually is a Million Dollar Sales Achiever Set that is currently in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  I love this card that I created it just makes me happy.  Here's a look at my card.

For my card today I stamped the outline of the rose from the stamp set three times using Tuxedo black ink and the leaves cluster three times and a couple other times so that I could have some extra leaves.  Once the ink dried I started the coloring process.  All the leaves where colored with Soft Suede light & dark Stampin' Blends.  I then colored the flowers next.  For the lighter pink flower I colored with my Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick combo blends.  The darkest areas were done with the Dark Lovely Lipstick and blended out until I got to the lightest area.
The two darkest roses were colored with just the Lovely Lipstick light and dark blends.  Once I had everything colored I colored in the centers of the roses with my dark Daffodil Delight.  I then took a white gel pen and added some little white dots to the centers.
Once all the coloring was done it was time to use the matching dies to cut out the roses and leaves.  The leaves that I stamped that was just the the single leaf I cut out with my paper snips.  I laid out my arrangement onto the card and then used press and seal to hold it into place while I worked on my card base.
I used the Decorative Mask Stencils and did a little ink blending in Flirty Flamingo ink on the area that the flowers were going to be at.  I then flicked on some Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick ink.  Once the ink had dried I added a little liquid glue behind the leaves and flowers that was facing up on the press and seal.  I then placed the cluster of flowers (still on the press and seal) onto the card base.  I then pulled the press and seal back up with the remaining flower and a couple leaves up and added a few Stampin' Dimensionals behind them.  I then placed that flower and leaf back onto the arrangement.
I stamped my sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink in the bottom third of the card base.  I then added a few sequins to finish off the arrangement.  I trimmed off the leaves that were over hanging off the card.
Thanks for dropping by today, I hope that you have enjoyed my little card for today.
