Peaceful Petals Just Clean & Simple

Peaceful Petals,Amanda Bates, The Craft Spa, 2014_05 (8)

Couple more cards using the Peaceful Petals stamp set … true Clean & Simple style…..

When I am running my workshops I tend to have a mix Fancy Fold cards - or mini books & 3D items - with some CAS cards….

Firstly because my ladies love them….

Secondly  to enable everyone to go home having made a decent amount of cards .

Thirdly for the more speedy ones to be able to get on with something rather than just sitting there as they have done everything!!!

And last but not least - as “fillers” – quick cards to make whilst waiting for someone else to finish off one of the main cards….

Gosh I didn’t realise that there were quite so many reasons for doing these!!!

The first card is for those that like things pink & bright…. the stamped black Staz On flower is coloured with the Aqua Brush & Melon Mambo ink – with a small amount of Smoky Slate added to the flower centre…. Greeting from the Four You stamp set.

The second card is for those that like things pink & soft…. again stamped black Staz On leaves & flower spray coloured in using the Aqua Brush & Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz inks. Finished off with a dab of the white Signo gel pen in the flower centres….

And remember… the Peaceful Petals stamp set will be gone come the end of June….

More Clean & Simple Peaceful Petals Cards

Staying on the theme of sharing my “CAS filler” cards…. here are a few more using the Peaceful Petals stamp set…. this time onto a coloured card blank.

The first two are the same  with a stamped black Staz On flower coloured in using the Aqua Painter brush & Coastal Cabana and Smoky Slate ink  - plus a Four You greeting stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink….

But the first one has the addition of a background using the White Chalkboard Marker pen technique. The flower sprays are just stamped in Coastal Cabana onto the card blank and then the flowers coloured in using the White Chalkboard Marker pen plus the white Signo Gel pen for the flower centres. Very subtle but adds a lift…..

The next one is done in the same way – we called this my Seed Packet card! Pistachio Pudding was used here instead of the Pear Pizzazz….

And the last one takes the White Chalkboard Marker pen technique a step further…..

The greeting & flower sprays are stamped in Pistachio Pudding onto Soft Sky card . Then the flowers and stems are coloured in using the White Chalkboard Marker pen , then with the Aqua Painter & Pink Pirouette and Pistachio Pudding ink and finished off with the white Signo Gel pen for the flower centres. The hardwood background is stamped in Smoky Slate on a Pistachio Pudding background.
