Stampin' Up! Climbing Orchids Cards

Earlier this year I entered the Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge with this card, to see the original post click here

I loved the card so much I decided to make it again but I wanted the orchids to stand out more.

To do this I stamped the flowers on a scrap of Whisper White and die cut the three parts before adhering together. I then curled the petals before adhering to the square.

I used the same Layered Leaves 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder as I thought that worked perfectly.

Then I tried to heat embossed the orchids and wondered what it would look like if I dry embossed a sheet of silver foil. I was rather pleased with the result although my husband thought it was too much.

A crafting friend of mine recently promoted to Silver so I thought this card was perfect to send her as a congratulations card.

So which is your favourite, please leave me a comment below.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Thank you for joining us for another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! We’re so excited to be sharing this hop with you. The products used are all available in the current Annual, or seasonal, Stampin’ Up!® Catalogues*. Simply use the buttons at the bottom of the post to keep hopping!

This month we are having another colour challenge, this time set by the lovely Sam Roberts.

I decided to make this card showcasing these beautiful cheerful colours.

I used Whisper White for my base and then dry embossed a layer of Whisper White with the new Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I added a piece of the new Lemon Lime Twist 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon.

I then stamped the smallest Orchid from the Climbing Orchid stamp set in all three colours on Whisper White cardstock. I adhered the squares to a piece of cardstock in the matching colour.

Isn't the detail on the dry embossing stunning, here's a close up.

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you like this weeks card.
