Stampin' Up! Sunshine Wishes Wedding Card

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Here is another Personalised wedding card I made recently. The brief was to make a card in earthy tones with a splash of blue and purple.

I used a base of Crumb Card with Marina Mist and Perfect Plum as my splashes of colour. I didn't want to put the personalised text on the front of the card as I though it would detract from the simplicity of the card so I decided to make an Easel card. I love making easel cards but do think they need have instructions on how they stand up!

The personalised text was printed on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and mounted on Gold Foil.

I really love how this turned out. It would also make a lovely Anniversary card.

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

Stampin' Up! Tranquil Tulips Birthday Card

I have been sending lots of birthday cards this month, someone turning 60 and a special crafting friend who turned 70 as well as eight other people who celebrated their birthday this month.

My birthday was back in August and I received a beautiful card from Donna Willows, a fellow Pootler, using the Tranquil Tulips stamp set. I decided to case this card for my October birthday cards. I have made it in various different colourways and just love each of them.

Although I must admit to perhaps liking this purple one a little more than the others, not sure why that should be!

I usually steer away from two step stamping but this stamp set is so easy and very forgiving, I just love the watercolour effect.

What do you think?

Which is your favourite colourway?

Simply Sketched Saturday May Challenge

Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Jillian Selwood

The lovely Kathleen Rintoul-Waite designed our sketch this month and here it is:

When I saw the four layers I knew I wanted to do an ombre effect. Purple is my favourite colour, just in case you didn't realise! So I went with three shades of purple, the difficulty was deciding on going from dark to light or light to dark. In the end I thought the light to dark was more striking so here is my interpretation.

I have used a Thick Whisper White base, the next layer is Wisteria Wonder, then Perfect Plum and then on top is Elegant Eggplant. The ribbon is Wisteria Wonder and the flowers are die cut with the Botanical Builder framelit dies. I love white heat embossing on dark colours it just looks amazing.
