Pals Paper Arts Challenge

This weeks Challenge PPA83 at Pals Paper Arts :

What beautiful colours to play with this week. My card is:

I dont plan cards I usually start with a stamp set I want to use and go from there.  One of my favourites is the SaleABration Bliss set.
I embossed on cream with white embossing powder and then sponged crumb cake in the middle and baja breeze around the outside and then spritzed it with the spritzer and a crumb cake marker. This was matted on baja breeze and then onto some crumb DSP from the Neutrals Patterns Stack.  Beneath that I stamped the same stamp as the middle with baja breeze ink onto baja breeze card.  The next layer is from the DSP subtles Pattern Stack, and then some lovely lace to add a bow. This was then placed on a layer of Soft Suede and then baja breeze card again (phew how many layers is that).
The front is embellished with some flowers stamped in soft suede and cut out and the butterfly stamped twice in baja breeze and cut out.  The flowers have little pearls and the butterflies have some rhinestones.  So as usual lots and lots of layers

Another Card with the Bliss Set

I love all the stamps in this set they all complement each other really well:

I have stamped this card to give a wallpaper type effect and then sponged and spritzed the card with Crumb Cake.  It is great the way Stamping Up has everything co-ordinating it was very easy to match the cardstock and the ribbon with the Concorde Crush ink.  I then stamped the butterfly cut it out and embellished it with the beautiful pearls from SU.

A Gift

Sue Madex my upline came around with a lovely present the beautiful Saleabration set BLISS so I thought I would make some cards using it. I have used the emboss resist technique.  The image has been sponged and spritzed with Crumb Cake and mounted on Soft Suede Card Stock

A close up of the butterflies and the spritzing in the background the butterfly was stamped with Marina Mist then cut out and embellished with SU beautiful pearls.

The flowers were stamped in soft suede and roughly cut as I liked the contrast with the cream against the soft suede. They were then embellished with SU rhinestones
