A Vintage Indescribable Postcard

This is the second card I created using the Indescribable Gift stamp set.  I wanted to create a vintage look and love Stampin Up's Postcard stamp and they worked perfectly together.

I sponged the entire Very Vanilla piece in Soft Suede to create a 'grubby' and worn effect, along with the Blushing Bride card base.

I like to decorate the inside of my cards to match, so I added a section of the stamp with the buds to the inside of the card and sponged it to match the front.

I decided to create my own envelope for this card and used the Envelope Punch Board.  Of course what else could I do but decorate it to match the card.

Pastel Indescribable Gift

If you are into colouring images, the Indescribable Gift Stamp Set is perfect to team with Stampin Up's Blendabilities.  This is the first of a couple of cards I created with this stamp set.

Stampin Up have released some beautiful colours from the Subtles colour family in the new Occasions Catalogue - Pink Pirouette, Wild Wasabi and Soft Sky.  They create a beautiful soft effect.  To add more depth to the image I outlined it in the lightest Soft Sky marker.

Blendabilities are so versatile, you can colour anything with them.  I coloured the pearls in the darkest Soft Sky colour.

Speckled Blendabilities

I saw a technique on Pinterest that I knew I wanted to try.  Asela Hopkins had created a beautiful effect using dots (check hers out here).  I don't think mine came out quite as effective as hers but it was still fun to create.

It is a bit hard to see but the card base has been stamped with the Dictionary Stamp in Soft Suede (I sponged the soft suede onto the stamp to get a mottled affect).  I also sponged the edges with Soft Suede and a Basic Black card base.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the From the Herd Stamp Set.

To create the effect above I used the Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities and dotted the colour all around the flower image starting with the lightest colour first.  As you can see below I tried the technique using Daffodil Delight as well.
