We have a sketch for you today at SUO Challenge #SUOC221 and this one was designed by me. I hope you can have fun with it.
I started off my card using an stamp from a retired SU set called Fresh Vintage - this is a wooden set. I'm surprised how quickly I got used to working with cling stamps, photopolymer stamps and blocks - I really thought I would stick with the wood -but now sadly my old wooden blocks rarely get used. I also used Timeless Textures as part of the background and I tried to use the same colours as the Die Cut Swirls. These were a RAK so I wasn't exactly sure of the colours but I went with Pear Pizazz, Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay. I added some retired SU satin ribbon behind the swirls and the sentiment is from another retired set Cottage Greetings. I'm all about the old lol!
I was sad to see the Botanical Blooms and the Framelits on the retiring list so I thought I would break them out for one last challenge before the end of May. The challenge over at SUO Challenges this week is All That's Feminine. We have already had Mother's Day here in the UK which falls in March for us. This card would be just as suitable for a birthday card or an anyday love you card.
I've been inspired to make some Fun Fold cards this week thanks to Dawn Griffiths - she's always my number one go to for Videos and she never fails to get me crafting. I've done a few of her fun folds lately which can't be disclosed yet as they are for some future challenge blogs but here's one I can show.
I used Crumb Cake as my base and some of the retiring DSP Falling in Love papers which are so pretty. I also used the words from Picture Perfect which is also sadly retiring.
These images show what the card is like when it is standing up.
I have thrown the lot at these cards, there is Wink of Stella on the flowers, Very Vanilla Lace Trim , Basic Pearls and Enamel Dots and Hearts and Copper Metallic Thread.
