"BALLERINA ROSE' - Annabelle Stamps - July Release

TODAY WE START THE JULY PREVIEWS ~~~ Four new sets for  Annabelle Stamps that you can purchase from 21 July.
 At the bottom of this post you can find out how to win your own copy of this set.

For those who haven't tried Annabelle Stamps  they are clear stamps that come on clear plastic sheets  measuring  4" x 6" and can be stored in A5 clear plastic sleeves. I keep mine in small ring binders from Spotlight.

The sets combine images and lots of sentiments making them very usable.

We're featuring a very pretty set today called Ballerina Rose and I've used one of the smaller images from the set.

It's actually two roses side by side that I stamped four times onto white card then cut them all out to form the circle.

I've also used one of the edge/border stamps as well as a sentiment from the set.

Method:

1. Fold a piece of white card for the card base and round one corner.

2. Punch the bottom edge of some pale lemon card with a Fiskars punch.

3. Stamp two lines of edging allowing for some one inch ribbon to sit between. Ink is MS hibiscus.

4. fold one piece of ribbon and secure behind the pale lemon card. Tie a bow in the second piece  and  stitch a length of linen thread through the centre of the bow and  a white petal. Tie this into a bow and add a blossom gem (both the petal and gem come from the pink petals kit). The white The completed bow is attached with a glue dot.

5. Stamp the Ballerina blooms four time using hibiscus ink, colour with Copics and cut out.

6. Stamp the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black onto the pale lemon card. (I worked out where my blossoms would sit before doing this.)

7. Add the blossoms using fine foam tape around the sentiment.

8. Attach the completed lemon card to the card base with double sided tape.

I just wanted to show you the contents of the petal kits. Coordinating ribbon, flowers and an assortment of gems and sprinkles........How good would it be to have these in every colour!  Annabelle Stamps have the pink set, as here and also in  tan/brown.

My second card is a very quick and simple card using the main image from Ballerina Rose. I've stamped it using Versa Mark onto a pale lilac card which sits on a mat of black on a pewter card base.
Some linen cord and pewter pearls embellish this Sympathy card. I've attached the sentiment so it sits up in the middle.

It was such a dull day when I took this photo which is a shame  IRL the pale lilac is brighter.
