Stampin' Anne: vellum

Hello and Happy Sunday stamping friends! This week at The Paper Players the lovely and talented Claire is our hostess with an awesome sketch challenge. It’s no secret that sketch challenges are my favorite. It’s so fun to start with a great layout and see where your creativity takes you. I hope you will join us this week!

As soon as I saw Claire’s sketch I was inspired create with some brand new products from the upcoming Stampin Up!® Annual Catalog. These products from the Perennial Essence Suite will be available starting June 4th, so today’s post is a little “sneak peek” of sorts.
The new products include:

Floral Essence Photopolymer Stamp Set
Perennial Flower Punch
Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper
Perennial Essence 12” x 12” Vellum Cardstock
Perennial Essence Floral Centers

The Designer Series Paper in this suite is truly stunning! The soft floral imagery is hand-painted and has such gorgeous color and detail, it could even be framed on its own. I decided to use two of the lighter patterns to create this wedding/anniversary card. And yes the layer with the stamped sentiment is actually Designer Series Paper with a very subtle pink pattern. So pretty!

Today’s Colors:

Those Perennial Essence Floral Centers had me scratching my head a bit when I first saw them at Stampin’ Up!® OnStage earlier this month. They have an interesting “fuzzy" texture and at first glance, I wasn’t so sure I liked them. But once you pop them on the punched flowers, they totally look amazing. I think they are a really unique and fun detail!

I just love that this suite has coordinating colored vellum! It really adds such beautiful detail and comes in Petal Pink, Old Olive and So Saffron for a great variety of colors to use with this suite. To start, I stamped the floral image in Flirty Flamingo on the Petal Pink vellum. Ink does take a bit to dry on vellum, so a good tip is to do your stamping and then just set it off to the side to dry while you work on the rest of your card. Once dry, I punched out the flowers with the Perennial Flower Punch and layered the images together. I also used the Leaf Punch to add some accents around the flowers.

For the So Saffron vellum layer and the Whisper White Layering Circle, I actually used the Subtle Embossing Folder to add a bit of texture. I love how this Embossing Folder looks on vellum. It adds a little pop of detail without being too distracting. I topped the flowers off with those fuzzy floral centers and then added some sequins for sparkle and shine.

Card Measurements:

Old Olive Card Base - 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2”
Petal Pink Cardstock - 4” x 5-1/4”
Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (floral design)- 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”
So Saffron Perennial Essence Vellum - 1-3/4” x 4-7/8”
Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (for stamped sentiment) - 2” x 3-7/8”

As always, a quick look at the inside of the card, using a 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Whisper White cardstock, a 1-1/4” x 5-1/4” strip of DSP and coordinating stamps. This paper is just gorgeous!

I hope you will join us this week over at The Paper Players and share a project using this sketch challenge. We’d love to see what you come up with! You can link up your project through Noon PST on Friday May 3rd, 2019.
