stampin' up sale-a- bration avant garden

Hello everyone! Here's a couple of cards I made with the Avant Garden stamp which was one of the free stamp set in this year's Sale-A-Bration catalogue. These cards use only the outline flower and leaves from the set. I am hoping to make a few more this weekend with the other floral pattern.

This card is a simpler version and I just love the CAS look. In both the cards I stamped the image in Smoky Slate and did some simple water colouring.

Papertrey Ink November 2016 Blog Hop Challenge

Hello! Here’s the inspiration photo for this month.

I really love the look of gold and hawaiian shores. Since I didn’t have any cardstick with me, I decided to blend some hawaiian shores ink with a mini round blending tool. I then stamped the smallest round dot from the Bits & Buttons Mini Stamp set and embossing it with gold embossing powder.

I finished off the card with the sentiment and the pine needles embossed in white on a piece of black cardstock. I drew a few circles with the Versamark pen and embossed it gold too and then adhered the black panel to the bottom of the card.

bow tie spinner card

I used the bow builder punch from Stampin' Up to make this cute bow tie. Instead of placing a shirt on the card front, I decided to do a rectangle die cut and adhere a collar to make it look like a shirt. The bow tie just finishes it off!
