Last Week's Card & Cuppa - Terrific Toadstools Stamp Set & Punch

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I chose to create a monochromatic-style project.

I like creating designs that are in shades of the same colour, in this case, blue.

My colour combination was Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy. These colours are next to each other on the Colour Coach, a great tool available from Stampin’ Up!

First, the background was given a touch of colour using a Blending Brush and Azure Afternoon ink. This was in the area behind where the toadstools would sit.

Next, the toadstools and stalks from the Terrific Toadstools Stamp Set were stamped onto a separate piece. They were then cut out using a combination of fussy cutting and the Terrific Toadstools Builder Punch.

A sentiment from the Blooming Phrases Stamp Set, from the Online Exclusives range was then stamped onto a long strip.

This was stuck to an Azure Afternoon strip across the project.

The toadstools were all assembled and the three larger ones were stuck to the project using a Dimensional at the head end and glue at the base. Glue Dots were then used to attach the smaller two.

Finally, three Iridescent Pearls were coloured in a Stampin’ Blend and stuck to the project.
