Same Card - Reversed Colour Scheme

Hello, Crafters.

And all of a sudden, it's the weekend again! Mind you, it has

 been a short week for us in the UK as Monday 

was a Bank Holiday!

 Just by way of a change I decided to make two cards the same

 for today, but with the colour scheme reversed, i.e. one is Rich 

Razzleberry and Whisper White and the other one is Whisper 

White and Rich Razzleberry. 

The flowers are from the Love What You Want Stamp Set,

 which is in the Early Release Suite called Share What You Love. 

I stamped the images with Basic Black Archival Ink, and I used 

the small splodge stamp to colour the flowers.

 I did this by stamping with Rich Razzleberry Ink once, and then 

again on the second half of the flower so the ink was much lighter. 

To give the flowers some background, I stamped the largest

 splodge over it using Sahara Sand Ink.

I die cut the image using the largest Stitched Shapes Oval Framelits

 Die. The dry-embossed flower on the top layer has been created 

using the Lovely Floral Dynamic Embossing Folder which is part 

of the Share What You Love Suite. 

 As with all the Stampin' Up! Dynamic Embossing Folders, the 

depth of the embossing is amazing! Details of how I stamped the

 actual flowers will be part of a future post! I chose the sentiment

 from the Cake Soiree Stamp Set that says MAY YOUR DAY 

BE AS WONDERFUL AS YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

 I only wanted the HAPPY BIRTHDAY, so I masked over

 the rest of the sentiment before I inked the stamp. After I 

removed the tape, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of 

Whisper White Cardstock (CS) and fish-tailed each end. 

 The banner looked very stark against the image, and I corrected theis by stamping over the sentiment with the big splodge stamp and  Sahara Sand Ink. Although the stamping is only just visible, it makes a huge difference overall. 

To finish off the front of my cards, I was somewhat 

over-generous with the Basic Rhinestones by putting three on the 

image, three on the sentiment and five or six on the 

dry-embossed layer! 

I added an extra layer or two inside the cards, and fussy cut a 

Rich Razzleberry flower from a sheet from the Share What You Love

 Designer Series Paper. I'm happy with how both cards turned out,

 but I think my favourite - just by a smidgin' - is the card with the Whisper

 White card base! Do you have a favourite?

I hope you have a lovely weekend doing whatever it is you've

 planned, and I'll be back tomorrow. Until then, happy crafting!
