Weekly Inspiration

Due to a technical error (otherwise known as a cock-up) this post didn't appear.

Today's card is one of the simplest cards I think I have ever made.
Daffodil Delight for the card base and a Whisper White mat which I have stamped the message from  Botanicals For You. 
For this card, I heat embossed Just For You in Silver embossing powder then
 using a sponge, I sponged Daffodil Delight from the ink pad over the messsage.
It is always advisable to rub over the embossed area to take off any excess colour.
A small strip of Silver Satin ribbon finishes off the card.


Botanicals For You is one of the FREE products you can chose from in the Salebration range each time you place an order of £45 with Stampin' Up!
This offer sadly ends on 31st March.
Please pop by tomorrow for some more projects.

Inspiration - Masking Technique


Botanicals For You is the stamp set used today. 
This set is one of the FREE products you can get through SALEABRATION. 

 



A large but very effective message, Just For You was heat embossed in clear powder. 
I used sponges to add several shades of pinks over white cardstock. 
Ending with stronger colours on the outer edges of the image and the background mat.
To finish off I used Melon Mambo ink and a mask from Happy Patterns set of 4 masks
 to give the diamond shapes on the background mat.
A piece of ribbon was also sponged the same way to give a shaded colour too.


Don't forget that during January and March 31st, Stampin' Up! have SALEABRATION time. 
For every £45 spend on product within the ideas books and catalogues, you can choose any 1 of the FREE products in the Saleabration leaflet. 
£90 will entitle you to 2 FREE products,
 £135 will give you 3 FREE products and so on.
Interested? Please contact either Cary or Gill and we will be happy to help.
See you tomorrow with some more inspiration.
