Welcome to the first ESAD blog hop for 2022 ! I’m so pleased to be invited to join in this hop and have spent the past few weeks working on my samples for my catalogue launch day , which is next week ! I’m so excited to hopefully have my customers all together for this day but if not we will join together on Zoom .
My first two samples came about as I played with my In The Moment stamp set . The sunset was created by masking off the water portion then using Daffodil Delight ink and my sponging brushes over the sky portion of my card . I then used a circle shape punched from a sticky note over where I wanted the sun to be , I cut this in half . Then I used Pumpkin Pie , Calypso Coral , a hint of Polished Pink & lastly Pool Party . Then I sponged the water in Balmy Blue and used the ink swiping technique to add some splashes of Misty Moonlight to give my card some interest and texture . The birds were stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black - use the stamparatus so you can build the colour if liked .
For the first card I simply stamped the sailboat from the Sailing Home set and die cut it . Stamped and coloured the lady looking out to see using my blends and carefully fussy cut her out .
For my next card I also fussy cut but this time I water coloured her . I added some palm trees from my Timeless Tropical stamp set and die cut those to create a tropical scene !
My last card uses one of my most favourite sets , the Daffodil Daydream bundle ! These are so easy to use and look stunning in any colour you choose to use . Here I’ve used Blushing Bride , Polished Pink & Granny Apple Green for my tower card . Did you spot the new Vellum I have used behind my flowers ? I’ve also used black & white DSP from the hostess DSP , Pattern Party . It has 48 sheets with black & white designs on one side and coloured designs on the other , check out page 171 of the Annual Catalogue for details on how to get this !
I hope you like my projects . Now it’s time to visit Melissa Gifford and see what wonderful projects she has created !
