HAND STAMPED SENTIMENTS #CC418

A great choice of colours for your inspiration this week from us here at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  I started my card off using my favourite embossing folder from Stampin Up called Painted Texture.  I realise I don't use embossing folders nearly enough.  I think they need a dusting.

I used an old SU set for the flowers and butterflies on the right of the card called Natures Perfection.  The flower in the middle is from Tracy Evans set Worded Petals and the Butterfly is SU from the same set.  I added some sparkle to the main butterfly with Spectrum Noir sparkle pen. I added some red splatters and some sequins.  The sentiment is from Tracy Evans.  I put it on a white background to keep the focus colours bright. 

Hand Stamped Sentiments CC390

Here is our colour challenge for you this week.  I don’t have any of these new SU colours so used what I had in my stash to be as close as I could get them.  I started off by making a watercolour background with some blues from Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks.  I added an old text stamp stamped off so it wasn’t too obvious. 

The flowers are from an old SU set called Nature's Perfection and I added a touch of the coral pink to the flowers.  The butterfly is also from Nature's Perfection and has some Wink of Stella on its wings. I added greenery from an SU stamp High Tide along with the birds.  The sentiment is from Tim Holtz .
