Stamped Spring Wreath using Two-Toned Flora

I had so much fun stamping this wreath, especially as there are some colours that are returning in the upcoming colour refresh.  It was stamped on to 12x12 basic white card.

This tends to happen every few years, where Stampin' Up! shake up their core colours.  They get rid of some, welcome some new ones back and say hello to some new ones.

In the list below I have put and R next to returning colours, and an N next to brand new ones.

{One Sheet Wonder Wednesday - Stampin Up Touches of Texture}

Hi there, welcome to my blog, sorry I didn't get round to doing a one sheet wonder last week.

This week, as I had the stamps and inks out I decided to do two.

I've used the fabulous Touches of Texture stamp set, it has lots of beautiful images.

I limited my palette to Greens and Yellow and used

Tranquil Tide

Garden Green

Lemon Lime Twist

Pineapple Punch

Although I have made bookmarks from these, they could be cut in a different way to make card fronts or a scrapbook layout.

{One Sheet Wonder - Lovely Lattice and Incredible Like You}

Happy Wednesday!  It comes round so quickly... can you tell I love using this technique?

I love combining stamps that you may not often think of putting together.

This time I choose a Saleabration set called Lovely Lattice, it has some very detailed floral images that our perfect for colouring in.  However... I sometimes like to experiment and see if I can faux colour in with other stamps, I choose to pair it with another floral stamp set called Incredible Like You, here are the results and process.

These are the colours I used:

Lemon Lime Twist

Mint Macaron

Melon Mambo

Flirty Flamingo,

{Golden Anniversary Card}

Had to make a card for a couple celebrating their 50th Anniversary.  Usually I would have used the number dies, however because this new paper is so pretty I didn't want to cover it up too much.

It's from the Garden Impressions paper stack from the beautiful Suite of the same name.  

Here is the card

Below is a video of the process, after I finished filming I realised I had forgotten to use the small green leaves I had cut out, so the picture above were taken after I had added those on.
