Global Design Project #55 | Theme Challenge

I was making a card for a friend this long weekend

and nearly forgot to upload to the

Global Design Project #55 page

as the theme is

My friend doesn't know this card is coming

so it is indeed a RAK.

Now here is my card - it has been a weekend for colouring in (when time has permitted..)

Loved using the Timeless Love stampset that

has great words and such lovely flowers

I don't use alot of Pacific Point cardstock

but it worked well with this card

and the Brights DSP.

Tips:

1. Made a standard card and then sliced a couple of cm's off the front which allowed the flower DSP to be shown.

2. Stamped some spots from the Gorgeous Grunge stampset in Versamark onto the front of the card.

3. Before I stamped the words and flower onto the Very Vanilla cardstock I placed the size of the circle framelit that I wanted to cut it with over the top - to see if it fitted in.

Thanks for stopping by

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 24 -

Hello everyone and thank you for dropping in on this special sunday as it is Father's Day for us here in Australia. I hope all the Dads' have a great day and a special thought for those we have lost. You may have hopped across from the amazing Narelle Macey who celebrated 34 years of marriage this week and I can't wait to see the card she has made for us. Congratulations to Narelle and her hubby!
No animals this week but a pic of my minature Daffodils out in flower - Spring is finally here!Hurrah, though the mornings are still frosty.

Now onto the sketch that Teneale has given us this fortnight

I started with Pacific Point as my main card and then added the same colour stripes from the Brights Background Designer Series Paper Stack attached to a piece of Pacific Point. I then got my Melon Mambo ink out and stamped one of the flowers from the Flower Patch set

(don't forget to use your Stampin' Pierce Mat as it gives even pressure when using photopolymer and give it a few seconds to allow the ink to absorb into the cardstock, then holding the cardstock gently remove the stamp). Cut it out using the Flower Fair framelits and my Bigshot - no fussy cutting today.

I wanted it darker so I used my Melon Mambo write marker and coloured over the two inner layer of petals to make them darker so they would stand out (Psst I've actually coloured one of the outside petals as well...carried away colouring again!) I then layered some of the Gold Metallic thread behind my flower and added my word and some rhinestones, who doesn't love some bling.
