Stamping with Jen - Stamping Symphony January Blog Hop

Happy New Year!!! And with the New Year comes the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue.  So exciting!! There are so many beautiful suites and bundles in this catalogue you must check it out.  If you live in Canada and do not have a demonstrator and want to get a copy of the catalogue, reach out to me, I can pop one in the mail to you!

I decided to share with you this simple, yet beautiful card using the Painted Poppies stamp set and the Sending You Thoughts stamp set, which yes you could get FREE with a $60 Canadian order.  That is right, it is Sale A Bration time again!!! But more about that later.  First, what do you think of this card?

I used the verse phrase from the new Parisian Beauty stamp set and stamped it in Sahara Sand just for a subtle background.  I then used my poppy parade and old olive stamping write markers and coloured the poppy stamp.  I also stamped a poppy on scrap paper and used it as a mask to get the poppy behind the other two.  I also used my aqua painters to fill in the leaves, stems and around the flowers.  After it was stamped and coloured, I gently ripped around the edges to give it an old look and took my sponge dauber with crumb cake and sponged around the edges.  I adhered to a piece of early espresso (dimensions found below) and wrapped with braided linen trim and the green thread from the magnolia lane ribbon combo pack (both available in the annual catalogue).  The background splatter is in crumb cake and the sentiment in early espresso.  Here is a close up.

I kept the inside simple and coloured the poppies using my poppy parade blends and the inside sentiment is also from the Sending you Thoughts stamp set.

To make this card, the supplies you will need are provided below, but here are the dimensions:

• 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4 piece of crumb cake
• 1 1/4 X 4 1/4 piece of early espresso card stock
• 1 1/4 X 4 1/4 piece of whisper white card stock
