Seasonally Scattered Thank You from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Continuing the theme of the week, baby wipe stamping, here is another quite thank you note I created with the Seasonally Scattered stamp set.

For this combination of colours I used Cajun Craze and Cherry Cobbler reinkers. I wanted a more yellow-y orange effect but didn't have the right reinkers (something I have now rectified with an extra order for the remaining colour families I didn't already own in reinker). I stamped the 'Thanks' image on to Naturals White cardstock (more of a homemade paper feel).

I love how this turned out. It still has an autumnal feel about it.

The little flowers I added were punched with my Itty Bitty Accents flower punch from Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I punched the images from a scrap piece of card which I had previously stamped the same image in Encore Gold which gives the slightly patterned flowers.

Seasonally Scattered Christmas Greetings from Stampin' Up! UK Independent Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Monday Crafters!

How was your weekend? It was a rainy, thundery and windy one here on the Isle of Wight. Perfect for crafting weather. I tucked myself up to craft in my craft room and then realised some of my cardstock was damp. So one thing led to another and I ended up having a tidy up and a bit of a move around. It certainly is tidier but there is still a long way to go (I always end up preferring to craft than to organise!)

Today's crafty share is a project we made in last month's card class. I love the baby wipe technique. It is so effective. And I especially love the dimensional look it gives the Seasonally Scattered stamps.

For this card I folded two baby wipes on a plate and dropped reinker in Soft Sky, Pool Party, Marina Mist and Island Indigo to create my own multi-coloured ink pad. The key is to drop the ink spots close to one another and it give it a couple of minutes to spread a bit as you'll end up with a complete image.

I then simply embellished with Frosted Sequins and layered on to Marina Mist cardstock embossed with the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder. The final touch was a length of Island Indigo Cotton Ribbon tied around the card to hide the join in the layers.
