Summer Silhouette

Good morning crafters...

Today is Monday and means its time for another challenge over at make my Monday if you would like to join in this weeks challenge which is inspired by a book cover check it out: and if you would like to play along click on the picture below to go straight to the blog...

Here's my card:

I was inspired by so many things the colours, the butterflies and the flowers so decided to include it all...

I've masked off my sun with my 1" circle punch from a post it note, then sponged bashful blue for my sky and lucky limeade for grass, leaving a hint of white between.

Here's a closer look

I've stamped everything in black to give a silhouette effect... Funny considering the name of the stamp set i used...

You all must of noticed my love of butterfly's... So I couldn't resist adding one on Todays card could i, punched from the cute Itty bitty butterfly punch, then finished with some sparkle....

What ive used:

Stamp sets - sentiment field flowers, Summer Silhouettes, Papillion Potpourri 

Card Stock - basic black, white

Ink - lucky limeade, basic black, summer Starfruit and Bashful blue

Punches - Itty bitty butterfly and scallop trim border punch, 1" circle punch for sun

Hi crafters and thank you for visiting me today, today I've joined in on a challenge from:

Click on the link above if you fancy giving the challenge a go too...

Here's my card: 

I masked off the top section of my cream layer with post it notes, then randomly stamped the flower and leaf image with stamps from the gorgeous FREE 'Sale-a-Bration' stamp set - Bloomin' Marvelous, this has to me my favourite set.. I think altho im falling more in love with 'Patterned Occasions', I'll show you more from this set tomorrow.

Heres a closer look at my card: 

before i removed my masks i spritzed my stamped area with the Vannilla Shimmer 'smooch spritz' it gives any card a gorgeous shimmer, there great value at £4.50 each and available in Gold Glow and Silver foil too.

I dry embossed above and below my masked area to give definition using my Simply Scored scoring tool, my sentiment is stamped from the Su Set 'Field Flowers' which is available in either clear or wood mount.

I must say i love these two colours together.. i used Stampin' Up!'s Crumb cake from my 'Kraft' and SU's Very Vanilla for the Kreme. the colours are so divine and makes me fancy a creamy latte...mmmm 

to make this card:

Crumb cake card stock and ink , Very Vanilla card stock, pearl adhesives, Field flowers stamp set, and Sale-a-Bration Bloomin' Marvelous FREE stamp set, Simply scored scoring tool.
