PPA154 - Birthday Flourishes

Stampin' Up! Flowering Flourishes
& Itty Bitty Banners

It time for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge.  This time were pairing Crumb Cake, Rasberry Ripple, and Calypso Coral.  Although I love these colors individually, incorporating them into a single creation was a bit of a “challenge!”   (I guess that's why we it it such!)  I turned to Flowering Flourishes, a modern interpretation of flowers, and a DTR inking technique that created a beautiful designer look perfect for any occasion.  Enjoy!

Putting It Together Tips:

• What fun this card was to make!  I love coloring stamps with markers with the anticipation of the finished image.  This one exceeded my expectation.  Use the brush end of your Stampin' Write marker to add color to the rubber image.  I started with Crumb Cake, then Calypso Coral, and finally Raspberry Ripple.  Then it's time to do your big bad wolf impersonation - huff on your stamp to moisten the ink without adding too much moisture.  Then quickly stamp the image.  PERFECT!
• Placing rhinestones were always a challenge until I discovered using the tip of a craft knife to remove the rhinestone from the backing paper and perfectly position it on the project.  Place your finger tip on the rhinestone to affix it to the paper while you remove the blade.
• Framelits are the perfect way to give that fussy cut look without any of the time consuming cutting!  I especially love it when the Framelits and stamp sets coordinate.

Big Bad Wolf...cute! I had big plans for this years sale. But alas, not to be. Mom passed on Feb 10 and so we've lost her income. The apt complex wouldn't let us break the lease!!! They were going to charge us more than our rent in fees. Anyway so we're muddling thru till the lease is up in June. Then we're moving out of this place. You'd think they'd be more understanding. But not them. Love this little card Mike. It is a sweet image and the framelets do make it very easy. Hugs, Jess
