His Grace Delicate Florals

January 22, 2019 6 Comments

When I first get a new Stampin’ Up! catalogue I always flick through it to get a feel for the contents. Then I go through it again and make a note of things to add to my wish list. I probably go through the catalogue at least a couple of times a week after that. Sometimes I’m just reminding myself about coordinating items, or looking at the sample project photos. I also look back to see if I’ve overlooked something, as happened with the His Grace Stamp Set.

When looking at this set I immediately saw the religious sentiments. These are great for some, but not all of my customers. But then I looked more closely. I was particularly taken with the delicate floral images which weren’t like anything I already had. So although the set hadn’t made it onto my initial wish list, it did end up on my order. What’s more it was the first thing I thought of when I saw two design challenges this week.

Simple card created using floral images from the His Grace Stamp Set and wishing you well sentiment from the free Lasting Lily Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

HIS GRACE FLORAL BORDER

I began this project with the 3 sided floral border from the His Grace Stamp Set. To get the border just right I mounted it onto my Stamparatus and placed the stamp carefully in one half of 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer. Next I inked up the stamp with Soft Sea Foam ink and stamped the image. Then I turned the card around so that I could stamp the image in the other half of the layer. The result was a gorgeous floral border.

With that done all I needed was to add some subtle colouring using Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I coloured the flowers using the light and dark Petal Pink combo, and the leaves using light Soft Sea Foam. Then I went over one side of each divided leaf again with the light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends just to add a little definition.

For my card base I used my Stampin’ Trimmer to cut and score a piece of Thick Whisper White Card. Next I folded the card along the scored line and sharpened the crease with my Bone Folder. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to attached a layer of So Saffron Card to the front, then added the floral panel.

WISHING YOU WELL

I found the perfect ‘Wishing you well’ sentiment in the Lasting Lily Stamp Set and stamped it using Soft Sea Foam ink onto a piece of Thick Whisper White Card. Then using my Big Shot and Magnetic Platform I cut out the sentiment with the #2 oval die from the Stitched Shapes Framelits (counting from the smallest up).

I wanted to keep everything very simple so I used a few Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the sentiment straight onto the front of the card.

FINISHING TOUCHES

To complete my project I went back to the His Grace Stamp Set and the single flower image.

I stamped the image in the bottom right corner of a layer of Whisper White Card using Soft Sea Foam ink. Next I stamped the flower again on the front of a Whisper White Medium Envelope so the two would coordinate.

Then using the Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends markers I coloured in the images to match the border on the card front.

Finally I used liquid glue to fix the Whisper White layer inside the card base and my project was finished.

Looking at it now it has occurred to me that I could have recreated the border on the inside of my card and on the envelope instead of using the smaller flower. In fact that would look pretty special don’t you think?

DESIGN CHALLENGES

It’s been a while since I’ve taken part in two design challenges with the same project, but today’s one of those days.

Global Design Project challenge logo GDP173 - Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron and Petal Pink (21-28 January, 2019)

First I saw the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP173. It’s a colour challenge using Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron and Petal Pink.

Just Us Girls challenge logo JUGS471 - Pastels (19-31 January, 2019)

The second challenge comes from the Just Us Girls color week #JUGS471 – Pastels.

It was obviously meant to be!

SALE-A-BRATION CONTINUES

The Lasting Lily Stamp Set I used for my sentiment is only available until March 31st. It’s one of the free items that you can choose from the 2019 Sale-A-Bration Brochure. To get this 16 piece photopolymer stamp set you just need to place an order for $120 before shipping and taxes.

Today with the temperature forecast to be colder than my deep freeze I plan to stay in and work on some ideas for 3D projects. Whatever you have planned I hope you’re able to find a little crafting time for yourself.

      Thank you Geraldine. I had planned to make something with pale colours and these two challenges made the choices for me.
