More Monochromatic swaps featuring flowers


I’m sharing more of my Team’s monochromatic swaps today. These pretty cards all feature flowers. 

This first stunning card is made by Barb who used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set. I was shocked to see it on the Last Chance list and it’s already out of stock! 

Joan is a master at coloring!  Look at the shadow effect she achieved on the flowers and leaves! It looks like it’s raised but it’s simply stamped and Blends marker was added all around the image.

The other stamps she used are Sentimental Framing and Textured Notes. The inks are Granny Apple Green & Memento Black. She added Holographic Resin Dots, a linen thread bow and Wink of Stella on the butterfly to finish it off.  

She gave me measurements I can share with you too! 

  • Lemon Lime Twist 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″
  • Granny Apple Green 3 1/2″ X 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • White 3 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, inside is 3″ X 5″, greeting is 3 1/4″ X 1″
  • Season of Elegance DSP 2 pieces at 3/4″ X 5 1/2″

Here’s a view of the card opened:

You’ve created a beautiful card Joan!

Next is a card made by Joan’s mom, Barb. It’s her first time swapping with us and she did a wonderful job! 

Barb chose the Gallery Blooms stamp set. She stamped the flower in Night of Navy and used Wink of Stella to pull the color into the image. Very cool idea! 

She used the Textured Notes dies (2nd & 3rd largest) for her blue layers of Night of Navy and Blueberry Bushel. 

Measurements:

  • Night of Navy card base 4 1/4″ X 11″ score at 5 1/2″
  • Blueberry Bushel 4 3/4″ X 3/4″, scrap for greeting
  • White 2 3/4″ X 4 1/2″ for die-cut, inside is 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″

Beautiful job Barb!

Next is a pretty card made by Candace featuring the pretty Charming Day bundle seen here. 

Her colors include White, Soft Seafoam and Basic Gray.  She added color to the floral die-cut with Blends markers and then added Wink of Stella to all of the die-cuts. 

The pretty leaf die-cuts also have Soft Seafoam Blends added. The texture is the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here.   I just love the clean look of this pastel color with White.

Here’s the inside view.  Simply stamping the flower image in the same ink is a beautiful say to finish it. 

I’ll be sharing our swap cards all week; stay tuned!

  • Wow; Mixed Florals Reverse Image Technique with window sheets!


    I'm continuing to share our July team swaps featuring window sheets. 

    Look at the stunning card made by Paula. For her card swap she made a Reverse Image technique cased from Kylie Bertucci.  

    The stamp & die bundle is called Mixed Florals and can be seen here.

    She used Crushed Curry for her card base and Floral Impressions designer paper.  I'm so impressed by her gorgeous coloring with the Blends markers!  What pretty shading she achieved! 

    Below you can see how she also colored the reverse side so when you flipped up the card front it's just as pretty on the inside!  So neat.  I also love the diagonal slant on the front. 

    The card opens to reveal 3 layers!  

    Measurements:

    • Crushed Curry card base- 1 at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2", another at 7 1/4" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" (cut on the diagonal) and two extra slat pieces to cover both front & inside of the card. 
    • DSP – 4" X 5 1/4" X 3 pieces
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; plus die-cuts 


    Thanks so much for your creative & beautiful card Paula!

    Look at this super cute tractor card Candace made!  This bundle has some amazing pieces in it.  

    This new Tractor & Co bundle is from our Online store and can be found here.  

    Here's the inside view where you can see how she trimmed a portion of her card front away to create the window effect. *She'd normally stamp or add to the inside but she had to rush to get them mailed out in time.  

    Measurements:

    • White card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2". Trim away 1 3/8" from the center 
    • Navy layers – top is 5 1/4" X 1 3/8", lower is 5 1/4" X 1 1/4"
    • White torn edge 5" X 1"
    • scraps for tractor & tree die-cuts

    Her colors & sponging are amazing as usual.  She used Silver foil for her tire rims and clear rhinestones for the starry sky.
