Flurry of Wishes from Stampin’ Up!

August 26, 2015 By Michelle Last

I am delighted to tell you that my mojo turned up again yesterday!  It may be a brief visit but it was lovely to have it back on board!  I have so many lovely new seasonal products to use and there are definitely some favourites which I cannot stop using including Flurry of Wishes!  The new seasonal catalogue launches on 1st September but if you would like a copy sent in the post, please drop me an email with your address (michelle@cbdesign.org.uk)

So today’s share is my last Stamping&Blogging weekly sketch challenge.  Sandi and Heather have decided to stop the weekly sketch and will take this inside the stamping&blogging website for its members.

I want to thank Sandi & Heather for inviting me to join in.  It took some arm twisting as I really wasn’t sure I could commit to a weekly sketch but I am so glad I did.  I have met so many lovely new people and had lots of visit to my blog and for that I am really thankful.

I seem to have caught the bug too as I will be joining a new challenge website called the Global Design Project and it starts on 7th September so what my blog for more details coming soon.

Flurry-of-Wishes-Stampin-UpI so enjoyed making this card!  I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp to create snow in the sky and heat embossed it with white embossing powder and ink graduated blue ink to create the nights sky background.

I then stamped the tress from the new stamp set Wonderland (another firm favourite) and stamped the beautiful snowflakes (from Flurry of Wishes)  in the background.

I think did some fancy stamping with the sentiment using my Stampamajig ensuring that the sentiment was in the correct place on both layers.  It did take two attempts so I was really pushing my mojo at this point!

And I even stamped the inside to match…
Flurry-of-Wishes-Stampin-Up5I just love the new cording trim and I’m pretty sure you will love it too!

Here is the sketch we used –

    Hi Michelle, yet another lovely card and one I am sure everyone will have a go at making. I know I will. I love the colours and the formation of the trees but I am still trying to get the hang of not stamping a second time in order to get a lighter effect on the trees. I am slowing getting there and a bit happier with the end results. Have you and Dom caught up with all his travelling and his experiences during his trip? Anyway I am off to get dinner ready for my hubby and granddaughters so will catch up soon. Keep up the good work. Love Jessie x
