love-a-duckie: A Palette of Petal Creations

For this months Stamp-a-Stack class, we delved into the beautiful Petal Passion suite. There were 3 different designs and each attendee created 2 of each, to give them a stack of beautiful cards.

The suite consists of a stamp set, co-ordinating dies, a pair of embossing folders, a pack of designer series paper, some white organza ribbon and some embellishments. There is also a set of memories and more cards that co-ordinate with this suite.

The paper and cards are basically black and white which is always beautiful in itself, but there is potential to use a variey of mediums to add colour to them

For our class, we used a mixture of the elements form the suite to create 3 very different cards.

This first class used one of the embossing folders, one of the dies and one of the stamps. We used our aqua painters to water colour the rose, which had been stamped onto glimmer card and die cut with the largest label die. The Always Artichoke layer was embossed with the vine effect folder and the trellis element was die cut from rose red card. Once assembled the card was finished with some of the beautiful new glitter and clear epoxy shapes.

Another stamp, a couple of different dies and the other embossing folder form the "Petal pair" that is included in this suite, The bird was stamped in marina mist and given a so saffron tummy to create a blue tit. The foliage was cut from wild wasabi card. The white layer was embossed with the floral folder from the pair. It is a beautiful deep embossed image. The predominantly marina mist and white colours in this card give it a clean fresh look.

For this final card we used a 4" square of the designer series paper, which we coloured using the 2 shades of rich razzleberry, pink pirouette and old olive Stampin' Blends, our new alcohol markers. We stamped, die cut and coloured the little sprig of flowers and die cut the greeting label. We then layered it with pink pirouette and black card. Some rich razzleberry ribbon was wrapped around with a knot added for a final accent before adding to a scalloped card base that I had in my stash.
