Sunday Stamper - Week 202 - Summer In The City


For this weeks challenge Hels Sheridan has chosen 'summer colours'.  I decided on sunny yellows & pretty blues.  I began by colouring my piece of 5.5" card with DI's ( scattered straw, spiced marmalade, wild honey & peeled paint) then spritzed with sunflower sparkle perfect pearls.  This is very sparkly so a little goes a long way.  Next I inked through one of new Prima stencils with peeled paint then stamped the TH butterflies with black & then went over the ink with pewter perfect pearls mica powder to give them a little sheen. I re-stamped the butterflies, spritzed with Cosmic Shimmer Teal Wash & cut one of them out & added on top of the original.  I stamped the flower (Paper Artsy) in black onto the yellow card then stamped another one onto white care,  coloured with stormy sky DI then spritzed with the teal then cut out the flowers & placed them on top of the original.  I love the colour of this teal spray, very vibrant.  There's quite a bit of 'bling' to the card now but this is always difficult to pick up on the photos.  I mounted the card onto blue card (Basic Grey Granola card pad), attached the black ribbon (from the blog candy I won last week!) & finally added an old material brad from Basic Grey & adhered to a white card.  My summer coloured card.

  1. Hi Sue, your card is absolutely stunning even if the bling does not show in the photo. The card evokes a lovely warmth and I love that brad in the corner, it matches so well. Gorgeous.

  2. This really is stunning and so elegant! I love the background colour against the blues and I'm sure all that shimmer is fab - must admit I do like a good shimmer!The brad in the corner is a very pretty finishing touch.
