The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge 17

Thanks for visiting from Alisons page

I had a week off last week and I so missed doing the challenge.

This week it is colours and I immediately had an idea with what i wanted to do!

I am calling this my "gift on a card" card. 

I made a removable bookmark on my card and here it is

I had to take a few pics so you could see how it looks.

I love it! So happy with how it turned out but feeling very tired today as i stayed up till nearly 1 in the morning to do it! I didn't have to but I had the idea and I had to follow through with it!

A Pretty Colour challenge this week

I did use all colours this week although Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss stamped were so similar that the Rich Razzleberry looks a bit like the Blackberry Bliss.

This is my first play with the lotus blossom which you can earn "FREE" with a $90 order at the moment.

 I really love the way this worked out. The darkest part on the lotus blossom is actually the Rich Razzleberry!

I really enjoyed having the "window" effect on this card.

I turned it into a sympathy card as unfortunately we do need these cards and it did need a little sentiment on the bottom as it looked unfinished.

Stamps: Lotus Blossom, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Ink:  Wild Wasabi, Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry, Rose Red

Card: Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride, Whisper White and Painted Blooms DSP

Tools:  Oval Framelits with Bigshot & Word Window Punch

Embellishments: Blackberry Bliss 3/8" stiched satin ribbon

All these products can be purchased online through my store
