More Ombre Bokeh Dots & Dandelion Wishes

Quickly sharing the other half of my ombre Bokeh Dots & Dandelion Wishes duo...

More graduation in the colours this time to make things more distinctive... and colourful! So starting with Mint Macaron at the bottom (grass!)... Coastal Cabana in the centre and finishing off with Blueberry Bushel at the top...

Greeting from Friendly Expressions... note that I covered that "for all that you do" wording with a post it note...inked up in Memento... took the post it note off... and so then stamped just my Thanks greeting! Quicker than using a marker pen to ink up just the Thanks...

And a story for those of you that are very observant... the card blank on this one isn't a standard A6 card blank... as I came to mount the stamped panel onto a Blueberry Bushel layer... and realised I didn't quite have enough!! So I had to cut the Coastal Cabana card blank down to suit! 

Life will become a lot easier when I have built up stocks of all the new colour card... almost there!!

Ombre Bokeh Dots & Dandelion Wishes

Now this Dandelion Wishes and Bokeh Dots card makes me very happy...

Light... bright... simple... quick...

Ombre to add interest to the subtle starry background... Pool Party at the bottom... then Coastal Cabana... and finishing off at the top with Bermuda Bay... perfect combination...

With a flash of something shiny to finish... care of the Rhinestone gems on the dandelion centres...

And click here for a more special and shiny version of the card that I shared before...

Shiny Sunday Copper & Ombre Dandelion Wishes

I already have quite a few Dandelion Wishes cards to share with you over the next few weeks... but I thought I should share this one earlier rather than later... as it was created and sent to celebrate a big moment in my team member, Caroline's life!!

As she finally promoted to being a Bronze Elite demonstrator... which took a bit longer than initially expected... so I am delighted that she now gets her 25% discount on all her Stampin Up supplies... Congratulations again Caroline... very proud of you...

So another card featuring my 3 favourite stamp sets in the Annual Catalogue... Bokeh Dots with Dandelion Wishes... and Friendly Expressions...

But as it was for a special event this time...

The Bokeh Dots image stamp was inked up in 3 different colours to achieve an Ombre effect... starting with Pool Party at the bottom... then adding RETURNING Coastal Cabana  in the centre and finishing with Bermuda Bay at the top...

I started off my series of samples using Sponge Daubers to achieve this effect in a smooth fashion... but actually I just went at it with ink pads for the one you see here... as it gave a more distinctive colour variation...

And finally the dandelion trio and greetings were stamped & embossed using Versamark & Copper Embossing Powder 

Simple but effective I think... and all the more special with the shine of the Copper Foil and Copper Embossing Powder! And finished off with Copper Trim...

And what do you think of my piece of architecture!!?

Simple Saturday Dandelion Wishes

Here is the other card in my simple little Dandelion Wishes duo to spread Get Well Wishes...

Click here for the first card with the step by step details... this version just using the starry Bokeh Dots image instead of the dotty image used before...

And here are the 2 cards side by side... note that the stamped white mat is smaller on the trio card... I will re-make like that...

And I have to admit that Dandelion Wishes and Bokeh Dots are still my Top New Favourites... and proving VERY popular in these parts! I just love it when you can make such a stunning card so simply!!

Bokeh Dots background in Balmy Blue... I used the left hand image for this card...

Dandelion Wishes dandelion trio and greeting in Memento Black

White stamped panel mounted onto Balmy Blue card...  definitely liking this blue...

Balloon Celebrations - Embossed Dandelion

Just a very simple card to show you an embossed dandelion this time... onto Watercolor paper with Lost Lagoon Aqua Painter watercolouring over the top...

Though I have to admit that I rejected this option for classes... too hard & ends up too random... as you can't see where you are stamping the Versamark seed heads... so crafter beware! Shame...as it does look fab...

Whisper White seedheads and Lost Lagoon seed head centre/dotty circles on the mat to finish...

And here are the 2 together...
