Inspired by Pam...


This is the second card that we made at my Emerging Colour/Emboss Resist class on the weekend:


...and this is the decorated inside of the card, and the envelope...


This card was inspired by one demonstrated by Pam Morgan at the Stampin' Up! Australia Convention, that was recently held in Canberra.

The ingredients for my card are (all available from Stampin' Up!):

Cardstock: Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla and Riding Hood Red
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red and Close to Cocoa
Stamps: Inspired by Nature, En Francais and Sincere Salutations
Accessories: Versamark, Clear emboss powder, heat tool, brayer, Dress Up Ribbon Originals, Linen Thread, SNAIL adhesive, Dimensionals and Glue Dots.

This card is a variation of the one shown above:


Instead of using the En Francais stamp in the background, I have brayered Pink Pirouette and Ridging Hood Red to give a gradation of colour from Very Vanilla through Pink Pirouette, down to Riding Hood Red behind the clear embossed daisies.

...and another www.allposters.com pic for the day:

Tapis de Marrakech by Yann Arthus-Bertrand

I LOVE Yann Arthus-Bertrand's work...we have his huge coffee table book 'Earth from the Air' here, and the smaller 366 days book. His photographs are amazing!

PS. Wishing I hadn't used Pink Pirouette in the background of the photos, but am too late for dinner already to bother changing it now...sorry!

Lovely cards Sam, we have been working on the same technique. It's great to see how we can see the same thing but change it to make it our own!

These are beautiful Sam. I really like that stamped image, and on the envelope it looks great too.

More things to try out.... not too sure how to do this, but about to play and see what happens...

That technique is so fabulous! I've never tried it before. Great cards!

I should keep a list of things I want to try out. Thanks for the inspiration, Sam!
