GDT Project for Relatively Thoughtful - Christmas at Pemberley Tag

 

Today I'm sharing another GDT project for Relatively Thoughful using the beautiful 'Christmas at Pemberley' collection:

You can find the paper version of the collection here and the digital version here.

I started off with a base of the plain green paper in the collection die cut with a Tim Holtz die.  Then I added a rectangle of the dark red patterned paper as my next layer.  I used a gold metallic pen to edge each the tag and patterned paper.

I cut two squares from the plain green paper and added a fussy cut bauble to each one using a tiny piece of gold peel off as the string for the bauble.

Finally I added a sentiment using a Tim Holtz sticker and some gold self adhesive dots.  I tied a piece of green ribbon and a piece of lace through the top of the tag.

Here's a close up of one of the square panels:

A couple of days ago I shared my first card made with the 'Extraordinary Flora' stamp and die set from Stampin' Up here

Today's card is made from the remainder of the die cut flowers and leaves.

I started with a circle frame and then arranged the colour leaves and flowers round it before sticking them in place.  I then added the smaller die cut circle back into the middle of the arrangement with a sentiment stamped on it.

I used a stamped sentiment, dies and patterned paper from Stamping Up.  I finished the card by adding some brown gems to the centres of the flowers and the corners of the card.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Passion for Markers - add flowers

We Love Stamping - anything goes

It's time for a reminder about the current challenge on the Stamping Sensations Challenge Blog:

Here's another view of my card:

I have to admit I struggled with this one a bit!  Every floral stamp I have either doesn't tell me on the pack what flower it is or isn't a summer flower.

After a bit of research I got out this older Stampin' Up stamp set called 'Queen Anne's Lace' which I stamped and then added a little bit of colours with my Promarkers and a stamped sentiment from Stampin' Up.

The background was embossed using a X Cut embossing folder and the arch dies are from Stampin' Up.

Here's another view of my card:

For my card I picked out the colours of the flowers in the inspiration photo and used them to colour the stamped images on my card.

This was my first time using the beautiful 'Extraordinary Flora' stamp and die set from Stampin' Up.  it's one large stamp with lots of small flowers and leaves and a single die that cuts the whole lot at once.

I kept the rest of the images I die cut and you'll see them on another card in a few days' time!

I coloured the stamped images with Promarkers and then used a postage stamp frame from Waffle Flower and a stamped sentiment from Stampin' Up to finish the design.
