Creating Kindness Blog Hop - Rustic

Welcome to Mitosu Crafts UK, thanks for stopping by. It's Jay Soriano here sharing my project for  the Creating Kindness blog hop with a Rustic theme. Our special guest designer this hop is Caroline Van Der Straatan of Caro's Kaartjes from The Netherlands

You may have arrived here from Sense of Whimsy by Cheryll Miller or started here, you will find all the blog links at the end of the post so be sure to check out all the projects by the design team

I went for a shabby chic look for my card idea with the Blended Seasons Stamp Set & Stitched Season Framelits Bundle (which is only available in August)

I used the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper and coordinating Cardstock Pack as a starting point  to inspire the colours of the flowers

These flowers were stamped on Whisper White card in Coastal Cabana ink and coloured with Coastal Cabana, Balmy Blue and Crushed Curry from the new Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2 pack. I spread the colours by going over the flowers quickly with the Aqua Painters, following the each petal directions



The centre were dotted with Fine Tip Glue to add a bit of shine and texture

The sentiment comes from 2 stamps in the set and were stamped in Soft Suede. Both the flowers and sentiment were fussy cut using the very sharp Paper Snips as well as distressing the edges of the Mossy Meadow matt and DSP layer

I stamped the leaves on the DSP and added the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon before adhering the papers on the cardbase

I die cut a few of the flourishes in Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla and Whisper White cardstock. Using the 3 flowers as a guide, I arranged the flourishes along the left side of the card before finally adhering the flowers

I added 3 dots of Fine Tip Glue around the project and tucked the rolled up Linen Thread under the flowers to finish the card

I am also entering this card to the following challenges:

Papercraft Business Challenge #9 August - Anything Goes
