Birthday Bling PP152

You can't ever have too much bling can you?  Yes, that's what I thought too, so this is what I came up with!

We are so lucky to have so many shades of blue in the Stampin' Up! range but I chose three for my ink and added in another for the card base.

I broke out Daydream Medallion for a change of pace, and overlapped the two large ones. The biggest is stamped with Midnight Muse, the medium one is Bermuda Bay and for the tiny layered ones I used Soft Sky. Maybe it is a little light in colour , it looks quite pretty IRL tho'.
I found that the little, fancy medallion punched out quite nicely with the 1¼ inch scalloped punch and the smallest stamp in the set, with the ¾inch circle punch. The card front has been de-bossed with the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder and mounted onto a card cut from Coastal Cabana.And then I went crazy with rhinestones, placing them on the fancy ends of the larger medallions, the large ones in the centres of the small medallions. and a row to emphasise the greeting.

It's funny when I do these Tic-Tac-Toe challenges - I always get confused! I ended up not being sure if I was working on the centre line down Blue-Bling-Friendship or the diagonal one Birthday- Bling- Embossing and I've used the rather neutral greeting 'to my friend' but the good thing with that is I have two greetings for inside which could suit and are in the same font: 'happy day to you' or 'Thanks so much'!

The latter doesn't belong in Friendly Phrases, but since all are retired now, I have grouped them. I'm not ready just yet to let this old favourite go!




If you are quick, there are a few more hours left on this Paper Players challenge, why don't you see what you can come up with?

Happy stamping

Birthday in the Bag SSC52

I'm glad the challenge at Sunday Stamps lasts for a fortnight 'cos it has given me a chance to whip up an entry!

I used a water-coloured image from an old hostess stamp set, Birthday Bakery. I still love the rows of cakes and this sweet little bag for a session of relaxing water-colouring.

I've used lots of shades from the current  In-color selection, and a few colours you will be able to order next week (in Australia). The card base is Primrose Petals with a piece of More Amore DSP(retiring next Sunday).

 The banners are Blushing Bride, Pool Party and Soft Sky, the oval label is Strawberry Slush and the Apothecary Accents label is Raspberry Ripple. The labels are popped up on Dimensionals and so is the stamped bag and greeting. A couple of large Rhinestones trim the label.

Thanks for dropping by
