This month we had a sketch to work from and this is it, clean and simple, just my style. 

 I started off with a base of Calypso Coral and a Smoky Slate layer which I dry embossed with the Scattered Sequins Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder.

I tied a piece of the Sale-a-Bration Calypso Coral ribbon around the Smoky Slate layer before adhering it to the base.

The Thank you sentiment comes from the Southern Serenade Stamp set, I stamped it in Calypso Coral ink on Smoky Slate cardstock before die cutting with my stitched shaped framelits. I layered it onto a scalloped circle of Calypso Coral.

I then added some of the basic Rhinestones but I didn't like the look of them so I painted them with the Calypso Coral dark Stampin' Blend to give them a hint of colour. I think they look perfect now.

Here's a close up of the fabulous ribbon, coloured rhinestones and the embossed sequins.

Stampin' Up! Graceful Garden card

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 I was my turn to design the sketch and this is what I came up with - I do like clean and simple cards and you can't get more clean and simple than this!

I started off with a Card base of Powder Pink and stamped a layer of Whisper White with the background stamp from Graceful Garden. I cut three squares with the Stitched Shapes framelits dies of differing sizes and scalloped  squares from Powder Pink cardstock. 

I used the large rose from the Graceful Garden stamp set for the largest square, the smaller rose for the medium sized square and then the sentiment 'for you' for the smallest square.

I then decided to add some ribbon, the 1/2" Finely woven ribbon in Powder pink worked perfectly. When I lined all the squares up I didn't really like how it looked so I adhered the white stitched squares at an angle. I also adhered the smallest square at an angle as well. 

I'm really pleased with how this has turned out and can't wait to see what everyone else has come up with.

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

Pootlers Annual Catalogue Blog Hop June 2017

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

Welcome to our third Blog Hop of 2017. This time we are celebrating the brand new Annual Catalogue that launched on 1st June.

I absolutely love pigs, I think they are beautiful animals so when I first saw the This Little Piggy Stamp set I wanted it. It's made a perfect thank you card for a special friend.

I used one of the new 2017-2019 In Colours, Berry Burst for the card which is topped with the ombre Berry Burst Colour Theory DSP Stack. I stamped the 'This little Piggy' piggy and the 'Says Thanks' onto Whisper White card and then die cut them using the Stitched Shapes framelits. I coloured the piggy with Powder Pink and the grass with Tranquil Tide, these are also new colours. I also gave the piggy a bit of a shine with some Wink of Stella.

I used some Berry Burst ribbon under the piggy and then adhered the piggy and sentiment on the front of the card with stampin' Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card I stamped just the body of the piggy and coloured him in the same way.

I hope my friend likes the card although I suspect she will prefer the homemade biscuits which I sent her as well!
