Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden – #TheSpotChallenge159

27 April 2021
6 Comments

27 Apr

Hello, Lovely Ladies,

Welcome to my Blog! 

My Today’s card for The Spot Design Team project TheSpotChallenge#159. 

For this week it’s an Ink Blending Challenge. Challenges are always so much fun to play along with. 

You can also take part in this weekly challenge.                                     

I used Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Stamp set. All the products from the New Annual Catalogue will be available from May 4th, 2021. 

Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent are New In-colors. Both Stampin’ Classic Ink and A4 Card stocks will be available in May4th 2021.                                                                            

Measurements A4 Cardstock:

  • Base card Evening Evergreen – New In color ( 29.7 by 21 cm scored @14.9cm )
  • Layer 1: Evening Evergreen – 14.4 cm by 10 cm ( embossed using Tasteful Textile embossing folder ) 
  • Layer 2: Soft Sea Foam 9.5 cm by 13.9 cm 
  • Layer 3: Basic White Cardstock – I used the Soft Sea Foam stampin’ ink first on the top, I used our blending brush to bring the light shade to the card first. 
  • Next, I used Soft Succulent ( New In color ) next to Soft Sea Foam to give a little dark shade and finally used the Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Classic Ink to give the dark shade to the bottom. 
  • Evening Evergreen -10 cm by 14.4 cm ( Inside )
  • Soft Sea Foam – 9.7cm by 14.1cm ( Inside) 
  • Stamped the image using Momento Tuxedo black ink. 
  • Colored the flower using White Stampin’ Chalk Marker to give white shade.
  • I splattered some of the Frost White Shimmer Paint and Clear Wink of Stella to the background of the card. 
  • Added some of the new In-colors Jewels on top of the flower to give some glow. 
  • Stamped the sentiment using Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Classic Ink on the Soft Sea Foam Cardstockon the die-cut piece. 
  • Decorated the Inside using simple stamping.

    Your card is SO beautiful, Maheswari! The blended greens are just gorgeous, and the flowers are so pretty highlighted in chalk ink, with the gems added.

Welcome to another Be Inspired Blog Hop! 🤎 This mo Welcome to another Be Inspired Blog Hop! 🤎
This month, our theme is Die-Cutting, and I decided to highlight trees in my card design.

For my card base, I used Basic Gray, and I sponged the first layer with Blueberry Bushel to create depth and a lovely background for the colourful trees.
 I watercoloured the cardstock before die cutting. I love how this adds a unique touch and brings variation to each tree in colours.
Make sure you check out all the other Design Team projects below-you’ll get so many lovely ideas!

It’s time for another Hop Abroad Insta Hop! 
This month our theme is Fall / Thank You Cards, and for my card I wanted to play with warm colours, lots of layers and a little bit of texture.
I really enjoy making cards like this, where you can keep looking and notice all the little details. I added the embossed background, foliage, ribbon and a few embellishments to give the card some dimension.
