Painted Blooms tent fold card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? It is flipping hot. Last night there was an amazing lightning storm. My mother-in-law is still in hospital. She has a chest infection but that seems to be clearing now. Hopefully she will be able to come out soon. My husband and I will be visiting again this evening. It is exactly a year since my dad was in hospital. I think we need  a season ticket to the car park.

I was looking at Beccy's Place blog and there was a cool card  design using the Painted Blooms digi stamp set. Click here to be taken to the blog post. 


The card blank was a leftover piece of card from cutting down an A3 sheet. I trimmed it to the size that would suit. 


I had a printed sheet of images of the Painted Blooms set left over from the cards I made for the release. I used  Neenah card and I fussy cut the flowers and leaves. In my stash of scraps I found a piece of white card that could be cut to size. I arranged the flowers and leaves at the bottom of the card and cut round the edge. 


I think this die came free with a magazine a long time ago. 


Thank you Beccy for the inspiration. This is another card that can go in the art sale. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Beccy's Place - Painted Blooms

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your weekend? We had a nice lazy day on Saturday. My husband had a lovely time away and he did stay up very later so a lazy day was just right for him.  Today we are heading off to the Craft Show at Newbury Racecourse.

I am one of the blog contributors for Beccy's Place. I was sent the beautiful Painted Blooms digital stamp set to use. I made three cards.


I did love these images as soon as I saw them. For the card I wanted a matching backing paper so I made my own. I used Publisher and created a background. Then I repeated a small version of the image over and over to create a row. Which I then copied and pasted down the document. It really didn't take too long and the paper matches exactly. The main image was printed twice I used the pre-coloured images. I used one of the images as a base then I cut the petals and leaves and shaped them to give dimension. The whole image was sprayed with a glaze and Glossy Accents was added to the centre of the flowers. I used the Double Pierced Circle dies from Creative Expressions to cut the frame for the image. 


This is the Painted Blooms digital image set. It is available HERE. 


For this card I made the backing paper in the same way. The circles are from the middle of the frame from the first card. I added a corner die cut. 


You know that I like making cards from Snippets. Well I have quite a few bits of the backing paper left over. So I cut them into strips along with some gold mirror card. The sentiment was mounted onto the Refined Rectangles frame. 


Here are the cards together. I was pleased with how they turned out. It is a very pretty set of images to use.
