CC&S #373, SCS TLC797 & MMTPT619

8/6/2020

This card is for Polly's Teapot Challenge to use elements that constitute a teaparty. Polly gave us some suggestions most of which are not on this card, however butterflies are critters and are very cute and the recipient of this card loves flowers ... job done.
The inspiration for this card came from Shari Carol over on Simon Says Stamp found here https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/b...eid=45abe44f8c

I totally fell in love with Shari's Journal page and couldn't get it out of my head, along with this the colours for the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #373 for this week were some of my all-time favourites so this card was born.
I had none of Shari's supplier but was able to improvise.

I made the background using all three of the SU colours slapping the ink pads straight down onto some greaseproof paper then sprayed ironing aid onto the ink. I plonked my blending card topper into the ink and wriggled it around a bit then set it aside to dry. I also did a strip for the inside of the card.

I stamped the daisy like flower stamp from the Bloom with Hope stamp set onto some scrap paper then using the light tablet I traced the flowers over and over to create a bunch of flowers and I also changed some of the petals just to give added interest.

Once happy with my bunch I coloured the flowers with Copic markers and fussy cut the whole thing out.

By this time the topper was dry so I attached it to the base with double sided tape, did the inside of the card, glued the flowers on with tombo glue attached the greeting with some SU dimensionals and did the same with the butterflies and finally added some Nuvo drops for a bit of sparkle and that’s it folks.
Thanks for looking.

The image lends itself to the perfect CAS card so that's what it is.
I stamped the vase with SU Bashful Blue, fussy cut it out then using a flower stencil I swiped Jo Sonja's texture past over it and then lifted the stencil off and set it aside to dry.

I drew the rectangle and circle shapes on a piece of scrap paper and put this on my light tablet, placed my card on top and then loosely painted in the rectangle and circle, doing it this way meant I didn't have to worry about unsightly lines.

Once this was done I placed the dry vase on top of the shapes and then with my stamp position-er worked out where I wanted the flowers. I removed the vase stamped the flowers loosely coloured them them replaced the vase popping it up with some SU dimensionals. Once this was done I simply put it all together and that's that. You can find more details of my card over in my gallery at Splitcoaststampers found here;
