Floral Essence Beautiful Days

Once again, I am honoured to be participating in Kylie Bertucci's blog hop with demonstrators from around the world!

I didn't realize how much I liked purple until I realized that I've been using it a lot in my cards lately! This card is made using the new Floral Essence Bundle from the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue!

The colours I used are Purple Posy and Blackberry Bliss with a peek of Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. The leaves are in Old Olive and punched with the Leaf Punch. The flower was stamped twice in Blackberry Bliss Ink onto Purple Posy Cardstock and I used a Blender Pen to pull the ink into the flower. I punched the flowers out using the Perennial Flower Punch, trimmed them with Snips and adhered each to another layer punched out of Blackberry Bliss. I curved the petals with my Bone Folder and layered the two pieces. I put a touch of Wink of Stella in the center of the flower.

You will love these products which are all part of the Perennial Essence Suite!

Sailing Home

My favourite suite in the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue is the Come Sail Away Suite! Living in Vancouver, British Columbia, I often see sailboats and lighthouses when I’m on the ocean.  I love seeing them even though I’m not a sailor myself!

I made this card for a recent swap. It features the Sailing Home Bundle, Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper and Highland Heather/Balmy Blue/Night of Navy Inks. I used a foam brayer to create the sky and ocean along with a Post-It Note mask.

To colour the sailboats, I just stamped them in Night of Navy and used a Blender Pen to bring the colour into the sails and ocean!
