Stampin’ Up! Vivid Vases Sketch Challenge from Stamping & Blogging

March 12, 2014 By Michelle Last

vivid vases from stampin up by michelle last

……..and I skid in at the last moment with my card where the ink is still wet!

I am behind with my cards for the sketch challenge, I knew it would happen, time would get the better of me and I would not be able to keep up with making and here we are in March and I have not made any of the March Sketch Challenge cards!!

So if this might inspire, I have made this card this morning…. having had an eye op on Monday!

Vivid Vases stamp set from Stampin Up by Michelle Last

I stamped just two of the vases as I wanted some white space and the labels framelit was fairly small so I had to ensure my stamp was super clean and used the markers to just colour in two of the vases.  I then re-stamped the vase only onto patterned paper and inked one edge to create a shadow effect.  I have never tried that before and love the effect! The pretty flower edge stamp is from the You’re Lovely stamp set which is free during sale-a-bration.  Don’t forget if you spend £45 you can choose a free stamp set courtesy of Stampin Up but I will also email you my free tag topper punch tutorial.

Interactive Mini Album I've been busy behind the Interactive Mini Album

I've been busy behind the scenes creating a special mini album for my team retreat this weekend. I can't wait to spend time with my wonderful team—being creative together, sharing lots of laughs and making this beautiful keepsake. If you've followed me for a while, you'll know I have a real love for mini albums. They're one of my favourite ways to preserve memories because they tell a story that's far bigger than a single scrapbook page....
