LOVE AND AFFECTION PANEL CARD - GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #081

I'm loving the Love and Affection (no pun intended) stamp set that I've just rediscovered.  I found it in the bottom or my drawer when I was sorting out my stamp sets.  I don't have a huge range of sets so there was really no excuse to have forgotten this little beauty.

The challenge over at Global Design Project #081 is a Colour Challenge.








I don't find myself using Night of Navy much even though I love the colour so this was a great challenge for me. I decided to do another panel card - you will find the You Tube tutorial for my panel card at the bottom of this post.

I used some of the lovely Designer Series Paper Stack in Regals for the DSP for my card and used the flower side rather than the stripes to go with the Love and Affection set.  I stamped the flower on to Crumb Cake as my third colour choice.  It was stamped in Night of Navy and clear embossed to make it pop a bit more.  I added a Basic Pearl just to finish it off.

DELICATE DETAILS - TIME OUT CHALLENGE 76

One of the wonderful sets in Sale-A-Bration is Delicate Details. I must admit I overlooked this set the first time I browsed through the catalogue but now I love using it.

 This card started out as a piece of Very Vanilla and I inked it up - yep I went mad with the inks!  Pink isn't normally my colour but hey - it's nearly Valentine's so love is in the air!

I'm afraid I used quite a few stamp sets here for the various backgrounds but it does show how versatile all your sets can be.

After I had inked the background I used the Versamark to edge the paper with the Delicate Details and used White Embossing Powder. Do make sure to use an Embossing Buddy before hand otherwise all your inked paper will take the powder.

I used Painter's Palette and Best Birds for some of the background images.  

The Elegant Butterfly Punch and the Bitty Butterfly punch were used for the butterflies.  I punched them out of Designer Series Paper Stacks  and then inked them up.  They have a touch of Dazzling Diamonds on their wings.

I used Jar of Love and Painter's Palette for the sentiments.  The little heart comes from Bookcase Builder - and there are a few Enamel Shapes on there also.  Phew!  Don't think this will be going in to a category challenge of Clean and Simple lol!

However, I am going to put it forward for the following challenges:
