Heartfelt Blooms #3 - in Bermuda Bay

Now I think this has to be the favourite of my Heartfelt Blooms cards... simple to produce but stunning in the flesh...

Will work for any colour you fancy! I think my customer thank you cards for this month just maybe a rainbow of colours! Just so I can test that out for you...

In fact if you place an online order... drop me an email telling me your favourite colour and I can make one personally just for you! And I promise to use my trusty Stamp A Ma Jig... which I didn't with this one!! Oops... lazy me...

Simply inked up in Bermuda Bay and stamped onto a Stitched Shapes die cut square (largest)... with an Archival Black stamped greeting from the set matted onto Basic Black (7 cm/2 3/4")...

Then matted onto a small square Bermuda Bay card (10.5cm or I'd use 4 1/4" in US)... which has been stamped around the edge with the image in Bermuda Bay... amazing subtle looks-textured detail... which you can see best on the first photo... 

Finished off with a little bow in the new 1/4" Organza White Ribbon... love this one... especially as I can change it to any colour I like... 

And oh look ... here is the Bermuda Bay duo... now you can tell how small yesterday's card is!

More product details on yesterdays post too... 

Heartfelt Blooms #2 ... in Bermuda Bay

Now this one is small... only being about the height of my bricks! With a special little detail!

A little 3" square card designed to fit in the 3" Square Envelopes... which are a carryover item from the Autumn Winter catalogue

As they say... the best things come in small packages! I love this image just in mono-colour on something small like this... sets it off nicely...

And the extra little detail... look closely...

Yes 3 little dew drops in the morning sun... care of the new Glitter & Epoxy Shapes... so the one on the right/centre is just clear... whereas the other 2 have a slight glittery sheen... beautiful subtle finishing touch!!

Oh and spot the teardrop shape in these Shapes too... love them!

But I can't take credit for the dew drop idea... there are a couple actually designed into the Heartfelt Blooms stamp ... such is the detail in this image...

And the card recipe for you...
3" (7.5cm) Thick Whisper White Square card...
2 1/2" (6.5cm) Square Bermuda Bay mat...
2 5/16" (5.9cm) Square Basic Black mat...
and 2 1/4" (5.6cm) Whisper White panel...

Heartfelt Blooms #1

Now I didn't expect this to work... but it does in the flesh... though I am not sure that the photos here will do it justice... but scroll down and see what you think...

But for those of you that can make my Launch events next week (Monday 7.30pm and Wednesday 10am)... or a January class... you will be able to see for yourself!

So ... let me introduce you to Heartfelt Blooms... another exclusive free Level 1 Sale A Bration promotion product... you know the ones... one for free with every £45 ordered (or £90 if you pick one of the new Level 2-ers) Available in clear mount or wood mount 

As Stampin Up! says... Our new Distinktive stamp lays down the ink at different opacities, giving the finished image more depth. A beautiful, photographic bouquet in a gorgeous vintage look. A one-step stunner for all your projects! Stamp in one color or stamp in a neutral color and color in your favorite shades.

And as I say... WOW! The photographic nature and depth of this image is amazing! You can even emboss with it!! And the sentiments are just fabulous too...

Yes... you read right... the image is simply silver embossed... 

Which means that in one light you have most of that photographic depth the stamp is designed to do... but move it a bit...and you have pure gleaming silver brightness.... albeit that element being very difficult to photo!

And I purposefully left the rest of the card very simple... so the silver glory could just shine out... so just mounted onto a Silver Foil mat (gutted of course!) and one of the sentiments stamped in Archival Black ink... 

All on a 8.5cm white panel (US 3 3/8") ...9cm Silver Foil mat (US 3 5/8") ... 10.5cm Small Square card blank...(US 4 1/4") 

And oh look... here is a video from the Home Office for you if you want to see more... just click on the picture below...
