I'm back this week with another beautiful colour inspiration at the Play Date Cafe from Julie Ranae. Rest assured, this is silver not grey :)
We are being sponsored by the fabulous Wplus9, and the Design Team each are using a set of stamps from Wplus9 for our creations this week. I had the priviledge of using the new Flora & Fauna I set, and I have created this card.....
The card base is MME Laundry Line 'Winding Vine' paper. I have layered K & Co Classic K Bailey Blue Damask on white cardstock and stitched around this using matching thread. The sentiment is a rubon from Kaiser.
For my flowers, I began by stamping the large flower spray onto dark brown cardstock, and trimming it out, trimming out the leaves as I was going. I crocheted some leaves in silver 32 gauge wire, and wrapped wire around the flower stems. The leaves were glued in place with Dimensional Magic. I stamped another couple of copies of the flowers onto Bo Bunny Bashful Dot paper, and trimmed them out also. The small flowers were gently rubbed on the back with a paper tole tool to give the petals some dimension. These were attached to the brown cardstock copy. Then I used the same method on another of each of the large flowers for dimension, and attached those over top of the other ones. The spray of flowers was all held in place with Dimensional Magic.
I was a little bit intimidated by these colours when I first saw them, but couldn't be happier with the end result. Why not take some time to pop around and see why my fellow DT girls came up with?
And keep on hopping around, and go visit our Guest Designer for this week, Dawn Woleslagle, of Wplus9 fame - Stamp Away With Me.
So get cracking with these beautiful colours for your chance at winning a set of stamps of your choice from Wplus9!
