Stampin Up New Colour Blog Hop

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to look at our blogs in the blog hop, i hope you've found plenty of projects that inspire you. Rachel was behind me in there ring here http://stampingurl.blogspot.com/2010/06/here-we-go-round-mulberry-bush.html
i'll post the link to the next blog in the loop at the end of my post


I love scrapbooking, the best bit is getting to keep what you make rather than cards which you give away. the first page is 6x6 craft cardstock with the Very Vintage wheel and rich razzleberry ink and card mat. i've kept these pages simple as i have a few new scrapbookers that are joining my stamp club and i want them to see something easy but effective. i will add in more journalling details and my kids names afterwards.

the page above is 8x8 razzleberry with sage shaddow, i used the vine stamp from vintage vogue and trendy trees stamp set. again very simple but i think you notice details such as the lace boarder more when the pages are clean and simple. The page below is 8x8 melon mambo with black punched flowers using the 5 petal flower and boho blossoms punches. i used the baroque border wheel along the top and bottom, and also the Frames with a Flourish set

These cards were all on a soft suede base with melon mambo and rich razzleberry mats, and Vintage Vouge stamp set. I made the birthday card twice - one as a sample and again to post to a friend - but minus the bow as it can make the card too think to post with a normal stamp. i used the Rock & Roll technique on the flowers using Regal Rose ( i don't have melon mambo ink - yet!) and razzleberry ink round the edges. i love this technique and i'm using it lots at the moment - you get a different result every time.

thanks for looking, hop over to Vannessa for the next stop http://www.saffiresstamping.blogspot.com/
