Late Night Stampers Challenge

I actually joined this group after Kelly Mayou selected me as one of the blog finds of the day.  It is a fantastic group with lots of great inspiration.  This week I decided to play along with the challenge to make something using brads.

I used the stampset Razzle Dazzle from the Summer Mini Catalogue and also the beautiful Bella Bleu DSP (these colours are so me).  I actually assembled the whole thing onto the base piece of DSP before attaching the Not Quite Navy Card.  Each piece of DSP is mounted onto Not Quite Navy card.  I cut the circles using the Circle Scissors also in the Summer Mini (and my new favourite toy).  I stamped the image using Not Quite Navy  ink on Very Vanilla card and attached it to a circle of  Not Quite Navy card.  The flowers from the Pretties Kit were dyed using a sponge and Not Quite Navy  ink.  I used Rhinestone brads in two of the flowers and a Build-A-Brad in the centre flower.  These are easy to make.  I just stamped the small flower from the Razzle Dazzle set using Not Quite Navy ink onto Very Vanilla card, punched it out using the 1/2″ circle punch and then glued it into the brad.  Then you add the clear dome and voila a beautiful brad that co-ordinates perfectly with your design.  The Kraft tafetta ribbon was tied around the whole piece before attaching to the Not Quite Navy card.

All in all I think it has turned out very well.  Thanks for looking.

Bye for now,  Kris
