Alli`s Monthly Inspiration

Hello its Alli here today to remind you about the latest stamp challenge and as you know the theme is spring colours. I have made this card as my design team inspiration, I have to say that I love all the wavy stamps and this wavy doggies stamp is no exception. The lucky winner will take away a stash of Irrisistible Images and I recommend you take a look at the full range as they are beautiful. So good luck if you enter the challenge and happy crafting.  

 

 

What you will need:

LC Designs Wavy Doggies stamp set

Crealies Oval XXL double stitch dies

Creative Expressions Delicate Daisies Open Petals die

Creative Expressions Delicate Daisies Complete Petals die

Tonic boot punch small daisy

die cutting machine

Tonic boot punch small butterfly

ring binder hole punch

small hole punch

6" x 6" base card

Fancy Florals papercraft kit (from a craft magazine)

pink paper

white card to stamp onto

copy paper

colouring implements of your choice

black Versa Fine ink pad

Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Spun Sugar & Peacock Feathers

 

Cover the base card with the pink paper and cut to size.

Cut and layer the dotty paper from the Fancy Florals paper pack and stick onto the base card.

 

Using the Wavy Doggies stamp and the black Versa Fine ink pad stamp the image onto the white card (make sure that the image is at the centre of a square at least 6" x 6").

Select a Crealies oval die large enough to see the image through and cut out an aperture from the copy paper.

The copy paper has now become a mask so cut the paper down to a suitable size and secure the copy paper over the stamped image (remember to use low tack or linted masking tape as you do not want to tear the surface of the white card).

Colour the image in using colouring implements of your choice.

Remove the mask and cut the image to size (about 5 3/8" x 5 3/8").

Using the "To my best friend" sentiment and the black Versa Fine ink stamp the sentiment at the top right of the image topper.

Stick the image topper onto the base card.

 

Secure the same Crealies die as you have already used to make the mask and the next larger die onto some white card to make a frame and run through the die cutting machine.

Stick the frame onto the card topper to frame the image.

 

With the Creative Expressions Delicate Daisies Open Petals die and the Creative Expressions Delicate Daisies Complete Petals die cut 2 of each and colour using the Tim Holtz Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

Stick one open petal daisy over the full petal daisy and repeat with the two remaining die cuts.

Using the Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers Distress Ink colour a piece of white card and punch out two dots using the ring binder hole punch.

Stick the dots to the centre of the two daisies and stick the daisies onto the card.

With the Tonic daisy boot punch make 4 daisies from white card and colour in using the Tim Holtz Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

Make 4 small dots from the Peacock Feathers coloured card using the smaller hole punch.

Stick the dots to the centre of the small Daisies and then stick the Daisies onto the card.

Using the Tonic small Daisies boot punch make 2 small Daisies from white card.

Using the smaller hole punch make 2 dots from the pink paper previously used on the card.

Stick the pink dots to the centre of the white Daisies and stick the Daisies onto the card.

 

Using the Tonic small butterfly boot punch make a butterfly from the pink paper previously used on the card and stick the butterfly onto the card.
