CR84FN D.T Call!

Morning all! I have a bit of a different post today, to announce that CR84FN are having a D.T call, check out the CR84FN Blog for all the details, and a little give away too!

I have made a little Thank You card for this week's colour challenge, which you still have plenty of time to enter.


 I have used my new Stampin' Up! stamps, Reason To smile to create this peachy lavender toned pattern.


I stamped the gerbera solid stamp in Dried Marigold Distress Ink, then stamped the gerbera outline in Milled Lavender Distress Ink over the top. It's very subtle as the solid image is made up of very fine dots, like newspaper print. The effect is very light, even with darker colours!

Here's a close up:

I stamped the outline of the smaller flower in Antique Linen Distress Ink, and over stamped the solid in a lavender ink I have had in my stash for 3 years, but it doesn't have a name! Then, I took the solid round image from the set, and stamped the middle of the Gerberas with some more Dried Marigold.


I cut the label using a Stampin' Up Oval Punch and little label punch in Wisteria Wonder and Very Vanilla Card. I stamped the dotty frame using the mystery ink and the label stamp from the Tea Shoppe set, and the sentiment from Thank You Kindly set, all from Stampin' Up!.

Finally I added some tiny creamy pearls for a little shine.

I do hope you check out the challenge today, and give these colours a whirl, they are so pretty! And if you fancy applying for a D.T position, look no further!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
