Guess
what?!!!
YES,
the Courier did a Saturday delivery for me, and waiting inside the rather large
box, was the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Circle Card Thinlits Dies!!!
This
is my first project using the new Circle Card Thinlits Dies, a “Thank You” card
which I was asked to make for lady at our “Women Connecting” Craft Group.
Also
in the box were a couple of new stamp sets “Yippee-Skippee!” and “Simply
Sketched” … ahhhhh bliss!
On
the flipping scallop, on one side I stamped in Staz On Black the gorgeous flower from the “Simply
Sketched” stamp set, then used the Crisp Cantaloupe
Ink Pad and Aqua Painters, + then blended with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Marker to
give the flower graduating shades of colour.
The stem of the flower is coloured in Old Olive + the Aqua
Painters to blend.
Around the outside of the flower, to illuminate it, I
used a wash of colour from the Baja Breeze stamp pad, with the Aqua Painters.
On the other side of the flip, I stamped the words “Awesome
… thanks!” using a masking technique. I covered the words “Awesome …” with a
Post-It note, then stamped with Staz On Black (onto the word “Thanks!”), then
used the Calypso Coral Stampin’ Marker to colour in the word “Awesome …”.
I really wanted to add a star with Glimmer cardstock,
but had run out, so improvised by painting some of my glittery nail polish on to
white cardstock, then once dry, cut the star from the Circle Card
Thinlits Dies, and attached with dimensionals.
I
used one of the small Framelits from the “Chalk Talk” set to attach the 4
strands of Organdy Ribbon
in “Calypso
Coral”, and tied in a bow.
The butterfly is made with the Butterfly Embosslits,
in layers of Crisp Cantaloupe, "Beau Chateau" DSP and Vellum. I then
stranded together some Organdy Ribbon in “Calypso
Coral” to create the butterfly antlers.
The
Beau Chateau DSP on the extended flap is embossed with the Lacy Brocade
Embossing Folder.
