CR84FN #69 Week 2


Hi all, it's week two of the CR84FN challenge, where we would like to see the colours of Lavender, Raspberry and Neutral.

After all our lovely presents from friends and family, I have a few Thank you cards to make!

I have seen the Triple Time stamping technique used a lot around blogland, and gave it a go my self, albeit with two layers!

I need to try this again, as I didn't quite get the swirls to line up, but I'm still happy with the effect.

I used a stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Everything Eleanor.
Taking the large flourish from this set, I stamped in Sahara Sand onto some white card stock, and cut two panels. I then cut two pink mats to layer them onto.


I then stamped the flowers from this set in Shaded Lilac Distress Ink, cut out and distressed around the edges with Dusty Concorde. The little leaves were cut using Die-namics Royal Leaves sml dies, and some Stampin' Up! card.


Finally I added some raspberry waffle ribbon, a lavender Cheery Lynn die cut corner and some sparkly crystals from Prima.

Do stop by the rest of the D.T at CR84FN for some more fabulous inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
