Starry Sky

Starry Sky is the colour for the latest monochromatic Instagram hop and the name of the colour dictated the stamp set choices to me. 

I've used the "In the Stars" stamp with White Craft Ink to create the background. I thought about using shite embossing powder over the top but decided against it - I like the way the White Craft Ink dries down to a softer colour. If you want bright white, then cover with white embossing powder.

I then used the Reach for the Stars bundle for the sentiment and the focal image of the space shuttle. 

Finally a few matte dots from the matching In Colour collection and the card is done. Super simple really, but I think it's quite effective.

What do you think?

Tahitian Tidal Wave

This week our colour is Tahitian Tide. Of course I had to go with an ocean theme for this one ;-) 

I've used the Waves of Inspiration stamp set here. I stamped the large wave image using White Craft ink (or you could use Versamark) and then heat with with White embossing powder. 

Then I used a blending brush to add Tahitian Tide ink over the top for the "emboss resist" technique. The white embossing resists the blue ink. 

I like how this makes it look like sea foam. The label die comes from the coordinating Waves die set and the sentiment is also embossed with White powder. 

The twine is from the 2022-2024 In Color bakers twine. I hope you liked this card.

Sending Sweet Sorbet Love

Sweet Sorbet is our Monochromatic colour scheme this time.
I've used the Sending Love bundle with its cute mailbox. 

This would have been a cute Galentine's card for a long-distance friend don't you think?

The background paper is from the Bee Mine collection. The matte dots are the 2022-2024 In-Color collection - I like the way they have variation in shade to give an ombre effect.

Simply Sparkling Bundle in Parakeet Party

Parakeet Party - wow what a BRIGHT colour!

Each week I try to think of what stamp or bundle do I have that would suit the monochromatic theme that week. This time Parakeet Party made me think of limes - it's not exactly the colour of a lime but I think it works for this card.

I added some Old Olive as a darker tone for the layered piece, the leaves on the lime, and the stamped words.

The bubbly background is Parakeet Party ink on Parakeet Party card stock.

The soft drink can is made from the Holographic Specialty Paper and a sheet of paper from the Bright & Beautiful 6x6 paper.

This is such a fun bundle to work with! Hope you enjoyed seeing this card.

Orchid Oasis - Sentimental Park

Orchid Oasis - such a pretty colour - sort of blue, sort of purple...it can work either way.

For this monochromatic card I've paired it with a touch of Starry Sky (a darker purplish blue) and used the Sentimental Park bundle.

I stamped the background flowers with Orchid Oasis ink on the Orchid Oasis card base.

The feature flowers are stamped with the two-step stamping technique. Stamp the outline in full strength Orchid Oasis ink onto White card stock, then stamp the solid part after "stamping off" once to create a lighter shade.

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with white powder, then die cut.

Galentine's cards with the Bee My Valentine Bundle

 

I had so much fun making lots of cards for "Galentine's Day"! Have you heard of it? It's the day before Valentine's Day and the idea is to celebrate your female friendships, not just your significant other.

Some of my Winged Stampers team members signed up to do a Galantine's Day card for each other and then I decided to send all the participants a card, not just my assigned person. My assigned person will receive the special fun-fold card and then everyone else will receive a fun card as well.









The Bee My Valentine stamp set and punch was perfect for this project. I was able to omit the "V" from the Happy Valentine's Day stamp and then hand write in a letter "G" instead!  So cute!
