Playful Background

I have made a lot of cards using the open circle image from the Playful Backgrounds stamp set, however I had not used the other images in the set.  So I set my self a challenge to use the striped image in the set and this is what I came up with.

I should have called this my bits and bobs card as I used up a lot of my die cuts left over from other projects.  The daisy flower I created ages ago (I actually have another one just like it in my stash) for a project and changed my mind about using it. 

I stamped the background image twice using Soft Suede ink (stamped off once)  on a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I then made my floral arrangement over the stamped image.

Amazing You

I have been having a bit of a clean up and trying to use some of the die cuts and other bits and pieces left over from previous projects.  I had to put them into a bigger basket, so I thought it was way past time that I used some of them.

I have teamed the boots from the Country Livin' Stamp set with some Touches of Nature Elements, used a die cut piece of Whisper White, a Gold Glimmer Paper Decorative Ribbon Border, Copper Trim bow with a piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper.  The only new bits I added are the die cut 'amazing' and the word 'YOU'.

Amazing You

Whitewash Technique

Hi everyone, revisited an old technique for today's post.  Using the Amazing You stamp set I did the Whitewash Technique on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.  I did two backgrounds, one coloured with the White Craft Ink and an Aquapainter and the other coloured with the White Stampin' Chalk Marker.  They both turned out okay, but my favourite is the one coloured with the White Craft Ink.

I wrapped a piece of vellum around the card front to adhere the word "Celebrate" cut out using the Celebrate You Thinlits dies.

Don't forget the envelope, I stamped the flower image on the envelope front bottom left with Early Espresso ink.

This is the second card with the background technique coloured using the White Stampin' Chalk Marker.

Again don't forget the envelope.

The white areas in the pictures appear white solid, however the actual card has a great whitewashed effect.

Whitewash Technique

Celebrate You

Using two of my favourite Sate-a-bration items  for this project, the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies and the Amazing You stamp set.  You can get the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies for free when you purchase $180 and the Amazing You stamp set is free for every $90 you spend.  I love a bargain.

This card uses the Color Theory Designer Series Paper for the centre panel and the ombre side strips.

I coloured the flowers with the Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Blends and the leave have been stamped with Always Artichoke ink.
