Floral Invites

 I had some bits and pieces of stamped images leftover from previous projects, and decided to colour them up this afternoon.  These are two of the most under-used Art Impressions stamp sets, in my opinion!  The images (Floral Invites) and sentiments (Greenery Invites) are gorgeous.  I picked a soft palette to colour them up with my Copic markers, and using some older Lawn Fawn papers, I diecut a frame with the Stitched Square dies, and the rectangle with the A2 Stitched Rectangle dies.

Greenery Invites Set

I have the third card to share today using Greenery Invites from Art Impressions - all with gold foil using my Minc machine:

When I first went to use this stamp set, being that it is intended for weddings, I got on Pinterest to see what are current/trendy colour combos for weddings.  There was a lot of blush pink, navy & neutrals, so I knew that these papers from Pink Paislee would be perfect.

This is a 5 1/2" square card that I made by running the wreath image and sentiment through my Minc machine to add gold foil.  I die cut them both with stitched dies, matted with a matte navy cardstock, and then onto the shimmery blush square of cardstock.  The sentiment is adhered with pop dots for a little dimension.  Enjoy!

Greenery Invites - You're Invited

Sharing my second card today using Greenery Invites - again using my Minc machine to add gold foiling to the font and corner images:

 It's so hard to photograph glimmer!  But I think you can see in the first photo how pretty and shimmery this is in real life.  After die cutting my sentiment with a stitched square die, I mounted it on navy and then a larger square of shimmery blush cardstock.  The corner images were fussy cut and mounted with foam tape.  You can find the Greenery Invites set on the Art Impressions website, here.

Keeping my roll going sharing a card made with the new Greenery Invites from Art Impressions:

I knew from the moment I saw this set, that I wanted to do some gold foiling!  So using my Minc machine, I foiled one of the wreath images, and my sentiment.  I matted the large circle with some wonderful shimmery blush pink cardstock, and added a few gold sequins to add to the glimmer.

I'll be posting my other two cards using this set over the coming days.

Even More Greenery Invites!

Can you tell that I stamped a bunch of images from this stamp set?  Here's my third card using the new Greenery Invites set from Art Impressions:

Quick and simple - with just a limited colour palette, it coloured up quite quickly.  I plan to make up a bunch of these to have on hand, without sentiments - then I can just stamp "thank you", "thinking of you" or "happy birthday" when I want to use them.

More Greenery Invites

I have another card to share using the Greenery Invites set from Art Impressions.  There are two gorgeous wreath images in the set, so I made up several cards, all in the same basic design:

I coloured the image up first, and then went in search of paper to mount it on - and found this ancient patterned paper from my CTMH days that fit the fill.  Love it when I can use up something from my stash.  And another card is ready to send to my sister :o)  This one also works for the current challenge from the Papercrafter's Workshop! (You can find this stamp set on their site, here!)

Greenery Invites

This is my favourite new set from Art Impressions!  I used Greenery Invites to put together a card for the current challenge by the Papercrafter's Workshop:

Sigh.  It's always much prettier in person - this is a beautiful blue/green shade, and a slightly creamy cardstock, but my photo is looking a little washed out.  Oh well, use your imagination!  I've stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, and used Copic markers to colour the image.  I am playing along with the current challenge on the Papercrafter's Workshop facebook page, which is to use squares on a project.
