Say It In Yellow, Orange and Turquoise


say_it_in_yellow_orange_turq

This week's challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps is to say it in Yellow, Orange and Turquoise. I decided to use my most trusted AnnaBelle stamp set - Ballerina Rose. I decided to take some inspiration from a couple of cards in the latest US CARDS magazine which I subscribe to and try hand sewing.


I stamped the Ballerina Rose image on to some Thrift Shop DP from October Afternoon and then hand cut them out. I then individuallly hand sewed them onto some cream card that had been embossed with my Fleur De Lis Impressabilities plate. Following this, I used my paper piercer to pierce some flourishes and then hand sewed them with some kraft coloured thread. Finally I stamped my sentiment from Jasmine's Cupcake in Pumpkin Pie ink and adhered this layer to a Kraft base.


On the inside I again embossed my cream layer with my Fleur De Lis Impressability again, stamped the sentiment from Acacia in Pumpkin Pie ink and adhered two more flowers from Ballerina Rose along the bottom. I matted this on some yellow Thrift Shop paper before adhering to the inside.
