Monday Montage 188 - Loyal Leaves

Hello friends. Welcome to the Montage Montage Blog hop.

I’ve been in a cardmaking mode lately. I’ve been trying to use all the stamp sets that are retiring to give them some love before they are gone forever. My card today uses the ‘Loyal Leaves’ stamp set. I do love this set and am sad to see it retire. It’s a perfect set for a more masculine looking card. This beauty is only available for purchase until May 3.

The Monday Montage crew is a talented bunch. A quick refresher: the Montage gals host a blog hop every other Monday showing you fun and exciting Stampin’ Up! products.

Ready for more Stampin’ Up! inspiration? Be sure to loop through the entire hop and see all of the amazing artwork created just to inspire! Next up is Cheryl. Thanks for stopping by.

TGIF Challenges 313- Theme Challenge: Dog, Cat or Pet

Hello friends! This week the TGIF Challenges team has a theme challenge TGIFC313 for you to play along with: Pets. Do you have the dog or cat punch? If so you have everything you need to create a card for this challenge. Lol, or at least that’s how I approached it. SNEAK PEEK: I used a few fantastic new products (available My 4th) and paired them up with the cat punch to create this pet sympathy card. The primary flower is from a stamp set are called Hand-Penned Petals (and coordinating dies). The greeting is from the a set called 'Inspired Thoughts. The Designer Series Paper is also called Hand-Penned.

Like this challenge? Play along with us! More inspiration can be found on the TGIF Challenges Blog. Happy Stamping.

Global Design Project - GDP288 - Etched in Nature

Hello and welcome to this week’s Global Design Project challenge. We have a CASE the Designer challenge: Manuela Geiswinkler. Manuela is a true artist and her cards are always a great place to look for inspiration. I was really enchanted by the beautiful background she created on this card using blue, green and pink. I went for a similar look/feel on my card and I love how it turned out. The stamp set shown is called Etched in Nature and will soon be available through Stampin’ Up!

To create the background I used water brushes, classic ink and watercolor paper. I played around a few times until I achieved a similar look to Manuela’s card. I actually colored and cut the bird image out first so I could see where the color might land behind the bird. Colors used are Just Just, Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake.
