Seasonal Thinlits

Good Day & Welcome to my blog of craftiness 

Today I want to share a background I accidentally made when die cutting a heap of branches for an upcoming swap. I was trying to conserve my card stock on each turn I was turning the die upside down.

Anyways this happened......

 

I also thought when I was doing the cuts on my Big Shot that the little branches looked like Ents - the ancient trees from Lord of Rings (love fellow Kiwi Peter Jackson and all his amazing films!)

 

The Seasonal Layers Thinlits is part of the Colourful Seasons bundle and has nature inspired images covering all four seasons. For this card I have only used 1 of the 17 dies - the tree branch. Vellum, Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Berry Burst card stock were used along with gold embossing powder for the sentiment "just breathe"

I heat embossed the Calla Lillies image from the Remarkable You stamp set in White Embossing Powder and water coloured the flowers with Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist inks. A gold doily to match the heat embossed sentiment and then a Delicate Details doily underneath.

 

Hope I have inspired you to get into your crafting space today and perhaps you too will have a happy accident like mine x

Happy Birthday Gorgeous & Calla Lillies

Good Day Crafty Friends

I got to use the new Happy Birthday Thinlits today.....Oh Wow!

It allowed for me to whip up this card in under five minutes - given the heat embossed and water coloured flower images were already done from a previous crafting session. These beautiful Calla Lillies are from the Remarkable You stamp set - one of three large floral images.

 

I have also used some of the new Fresh Florals DSP in Lemon Lime Twist (I just love this new in colour with Black) The Stitched Shaped Framelits were used to cut the oval background behind the flowers.

 

The soon to be released (June 1st) Happy Birthday Thinlit is also part of a bundle called Happy Birthday Gorgeous - although as with all Stampin' Up! bundles you can purchase each component individually but when you buy as a bundle you save 10%. I cant wait to ink up the coordinating stamp set, it has some beautiful sentiments, in a font I adore and small floral images that will provide endless variations.

 

Hope you are having a crafty day and get to make something to inspire or share with someone else x
