Flower Shop Thank You

I saw a card on Pinterest that did this technique and wanted to give it a try.  First stamp image in Whisper White Craft Ink.  You can set it aside to dry or use your heat tool to speed up the drying time.  Using a Stamp-a-ma-jig, I lined up the flower then slightly moved it over so some of the white was showing and then stamped.  I did the same for the leaves but stamped again on top of the Gumball Green with the two-step part of the leaf from the Stippled Blossoms stamp set in Garden Green.  I then added some Dazzling Details in the centers of the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by :-)

Bordering Beautiful Birthday

I posted a card on Saturday using this same technique.  Click Here to see that post.

I wanted to see what it would look like using Pretty in Pink card stock.  First emboss image with white embossing powder and heat set.  Then I used a light application of Pretty in Pink Classic Ink mixed with water and then added some Melon Mambo.  Be very careful with the amount of water that you use or the paper will pill.  Gumball Green for the leaves and the two small flowers with Daffodil Delight.  Added some Basic Pearls in the centers of the flowers.

I really love the look of the flowers.  Next I think I'll try Wisteria Wonder card stock with Perfect Plum and Elegant Eggplant!

Birthday Flowers

I saw this technique on Heather Telford's Blog and just had to try it. 

 Stampin' Up! style of course ;-)  

Embossed the Bordering on Romance flowers in white on Daffodil Delight card stock.  Heather used water color pencils on her card, I used water and SU Classic Ink instead.  First I did a light wash of Pumpkin Pie all over the petal and then added a bit more for some shading.  Be very careful, too much water will make the card stock pill!  Did the same with the Gumball Green on the leaves.  Added some Dazzling Details to the center of the flowers for some sparkle.  I really like this technique, I think I might try a pink background next!

Thanks for stopping by :-)

Bloomin' Shades of Pink!

I am not sure of the name of this technique, but I found this beautiful card by

Karen Barber at Splitcoaststampers with a brief description of how she made her flowers.

The flowers are heat embossed in white, then with Whisper White Craft Ink and a little water I painted the flowers white and allowed to dry over night.  The paper starts to pill if it is too wet!  I used a paint brush and my re-inkers with a little water to get this creamy looking color.

Field Flowers Birthday

Did this card for my monthly club girls, ways to use your tools (Clear Blocks) in a different way!

I chose to stamp on Naturals White card stock as it gave it a little more texture when stamping with the blocks.  I found Whisper White was just too smooth.

I really like this clean and simple look.

Clean & Simple Noel

 

I really like to do reverse masking to give my images a frame.  I am also in LOVE with the color Pool Party and find that it goes well with a lot of colors!  First I sponged on the Pool Party using a Sponge Dauber.  Then I stamped the sentiment and then stamped the holly berry vine.  Colored in the berries with Real Red, a light tap on the berry with a white gel pen and then decided it need some bling.  So, I colored some Basic Jewel Rhinestones with a Red Sharpie marker and applied.  Did a line of glue with the 2-Way Glue Pen around the bordered and added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  A bow at the top for a finishing touch.

 

I hope everyone had a safe and fun filled Thanksgiving, thanks for stopping by :-)

Autumn Leaves

 

Doing a little emboss resist on some Orchard Harvest DSP!  Embossed the leaves with clear embossing powder.  Then I sponged (I like to use sponge daubers) More Mustard all over, then Cajun Craze around the leaves then added Early Espresso closer to the leaves to make them stand out a bit more.  The sentiment is also sponged with More Mustard and Pumpkin Pie.  I love this technique.

Bargello Top Note with Frayed Ribbon Flower

What is Bargello?  Bargello is a form of embroidery that is created through a series of upright flat stitches laid out in interesting patterns.  This technique was in the June 2010 Stampin' Success magazine and I just had to try it.  I cut strips of striped DSP (stripes work best) in varying widths, 1/8, 1/4 & 1/2 inches.  I used a piece Whisper White cardstock for the base cut at 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  Align colors into desired pattern and adhere to the cardstock and then I ran it through the Big Shot.
The ribbon is cut at 6 inches and then used linen thread and did a running stitch along one edge.  Once that was done I straightened out the ribbon and on the opposite side of the thread I sniped 1/8th inch clips down the ribbon.  Once that was done I pulled it together to form a circle and tied the thread and added the brad.  Very easy.

Thanks for stopping by :-)

Thank you card using Outline Stickers.

Hi, just wanted to try these stickers that I received as a gift. They are outline stickers that come in various designs. Thought they would look cute on a 3x3 card as they are just the right size.

I placed the sticker onto Very Vanilla and then painted the flowers with Twinkling H2O's (shimmery watercolors) because I like shimmer & sparkle! I used the 1 1/2 inch circle punch to cut it out and layered onto the Bermuda Bay Scallop. A little ribbon and a white gel pen to put some dots on the scallop. I really like how this turned out, I may have to make some more.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Loving the weather here in Illinois, in the 70's, gotta love that global warming! Thanks for stopping by :-)

A Spackle Flower!

I bet you're wondering about this title. Well, I belong to Prairie Stampers Club. We meet once a month and we get to learn something new. Last month we learned how to use spackle (wall spackle used in construction). Start with watercolor paper and get it wet by dipping it in water. Next apply spackle, not too thick or too thin and do not make it completely smooth. Let air dry for about 20-25 minutes and then use a deep etched stamp and press it into the spackle and then lift directly up. Let image dry for 24-48 hours and then paint. I used Twinkling H2O's to give it a little shimmer. It sure didn't look like much in the beginning but it made a beautiful card. This will be going to Afghanistan for the troops along with others from Prairie Stampers Club.

Stamp: Stamp unknown, this image was already done prior as we did not have time to let spackle dry in order to complete a card.
