Hi there my crafty blog friends! Dandelion wishes for today. I love this new stamp set and they are so versatile. Here I have stamped it using a clear Perfect Medium pad and embossed it with white powder. I used Mustard Seed distress ink in the centre of the image. Next, I used Spiced Marmalade distress ink and blended it in to the outside of the image, using the yellow to gradate the colour outward. I used Black Soot distress ink around the very edge as a shadow for the octagonal shape. I stamped my sentiment with a black archival ink pad. I cut the octagon aperture out of white card and mounted it on foam pieces to recess my image in the frame. I pierced around the edge of the outer white mat to complete the card. All in all, this one took less than 15 minutes to complete. You could easily change this card to any colours that you like and personalise the sentiment for your needs and still have a quick and pretty card ready to go in no time. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue, not too sure about this card. The dandelion stamp is lovely but orange is not my favourite colour and it also looks as if it needs finishing, maybe one of your lovely bows.
ReplyDeleteHi sue orange isn't my colour but you can see the stamp is pretty I like the design of the card thanks Jayne
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeletelovely clean and simple card today. I love the colouring in the center. have a great crafty day everyone.

Wow Sue another stunning technique.
ReplyDeleteGraduating colour like this is quite difficult.

Good Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteOh! orange is so NOT my colour.
Love the idea, I would have to use different colours, and possibly add a "bow"
Like the simplicity of this card

Amazing card Sue, I love the colours..I've ordered this stamp, it looks so versatile and I'm looking forward to using it! Carole ZX
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue,Lovely fresh card today, love the summer colouring and the dandelion stamp embossing is beautiful. For me, this card is crying out for one of your beautiful bows and a pearl flourish, and then, for me, it would be stunning. Lots of love from Patricia xx
ReplyDeleteSimple, yet so effective. The saying less is more works in this case, I think it shows off the stamp to the best effect.
ReplyDeleteHope you have ordered some great stuff from CHA? Take care Alison :)
Morning Sue what a stunning card itks so crisp and clean. The Orange is a colour that wouldn't that chose but it works. I just love this card very much. Looks like I will have to buy some orange ink. Looks like you've had a good time this week at the show. Take care sue.

ReplyDeleteI love the colours, bright and cheerful and also like the simplicity of the design without the bling on this one..I think this works just perfect. Thanks for sharing it with us. Beverley x
ReplyDeleteWoah, sunglasses time. Great staml but rather bright for my taste, this colour.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, love the simple technique I disagree with the previous comments on the need for a bow. less is more with this style of card!
ReplyDeletenice to see you stamping again Sue, i think it would take me longer than 15 mins though..ha
ReplyDeleteHi Sue

Have a great day and happy crafting

That focal image really stands out. I, for one, love the orange gradation. I really like dandelion images, but my yard is full of them and I hate them there! I don't think anyone but you could have this card come together in 15 minutes! ;-}
ReplyDeleteHi sue I like this card but then i like all your cards.
ReplyDeleteMarion
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWow this is so different from your trademark cards. It's simple, clean and crisp; just lovely.
Less is definitely more here and it certainly does not need a bow!
Good to see some stamping too.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue - love this card. The resist technique is one of my favourites, together with black shadow stamping which I think would also have looked good on this distressed ink background. Kathy x

Beautiful card... love that strong orange and the white card!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue I think this card is beautiful just as it is.Clean and simple but definitely eye catching-not every card needs a bow to have the WOW factor!(a bow on this card would spoil it't style!)
ReplyDeleteA really stunning card here too Sue, and I love these warm colors too, it looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteLovely, and so simple. It would take me longer than fifteen minutes, but i can see it's do-able in a short time!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue

This is quite unusual for you Sue, no bow, borders, pearly dots or layered accents/motifs BUT I love it. That stamp is beautiful too. The whole design can only be described as 'understated elegance'.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this with us.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,

Hi Sue, Just what I needed today, a lovely burst of colour! As we have no sunshine only more rain! I really love when you produce a card that is so different from your "normal" style, sometimes simplistic lines are what is called for, a Sympathy card, a note to someone just to say you are thinking of them etc. Kind Regards Sandra (Scotland)
ReplyDeleteSimple, understated and elegant. Love the stamp hugs Ann
ReplyDeletethis is a very different, love the colour !! heatwave here sorry those with rain !!!! got wellies on standby lol
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteLove orange it's such a vibrant colour and reminds me of a summer night when the sun is going down..On which i have not seen this year Yet...I ordered the stamp set and have just had an email that my products are on their way..You have made a beautiful clean cut card Sue
Hope you are well..Hazelx
Good afternoon Sue, quite simply lovely, simple clean and effective. I don't usually do orange, but I saw this and I though how lovely, like a sunset. I think it would also look very nice in blue and dusty concord almost like a night time scene. Thank you Helen O xxx
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteLove this card Sue - so simple, but very effective. Would also work really well with silhouette stamps in black. Just fantastic!! Thanks for the inspiration and keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteSusan
I really like this card. So simple, but I love the bright splash of color. The dandelion stamp is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis is quite different for you - no bow and a very bright colour, WOW! Beautiful stamp too.
Loved the photos on yesterday's blog by the way.
All the best SueP
Hi Sue, well definately a change of style for you, no bow or bling, but i love it. These stamps are cool, they will be winging their way to me soon. With the inks that you have used it looks like a sunrise/set and would look great with lots of sifferent stamps.

Hi Sue the card is so dramatic - the contrast of the yellow and orange with the embossed image and white card. My friend has just decorated her living room with dandelion papers and fabrics so I may well be taking inspiration for her birthday in August from your card.

love this, perfect colours x
ReplyDeleteLove the brightness of the colours!I try clean and simple cards and always find it very hard to not add pearls, bows or buttons, its hard to know when to stop.

nice card sue
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI really don't like orange - but I LOVE this card! I think that because there's so much white around it and with the dandelion being white too, I am somehow able to accept it - and appreciate it. So not only will I try it, I will make it orange too! And that WILL be a first for me!
Sue x
Just the right card for lazy, hazy days of summer. A hot coloured card for a hot day.I like the graduation of colour, it's one of those techniques for me I either get it right first time and am pleased with it, or I spend ages tweeking it and never get it how I want it to look.
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Sue,
ReplyDeleteNice card, quite a change from your usual posts. I really like it, looks quite simple but i would imagine looks are deceiving....
I have ordered this stamp off C&C along with some of the new dies...will be interested to see what i can do with them...

ReplyDeleteThis card is awesome i love the warm colouring with the DI's it just goes to show you dont need anything other than some ink and some cut and dry, lol, oh and the odd spellbinder and ribbon, i cant believe you've only used one die here, it must be a first for you Sue in a long time, lol, very lovely card all the same, hugs Vick xxx
