The stamp is from Yvonne Albritton Designs and is colored with Copic's. The base of the card is kraft card stock. I used a sanded background stamp with vintage photo ink to cover the kraft card stock. Then using the same ink, sponged around the perimeter. I used the same BG stamp for the layer right under the main stamped image, but used pumpkin spice versamagic ink instead. I also added a bit of sky using a dauber and summer sky ink from Memento.
The stamp is a pretty big one and I waffled back and forth with what to do with all the white space. I had seen some pretty great things done with cutting out different shapes, so I decided to get out the oval coluzzle to cut out the shape of the card. I had to hand cut the layers (which is something that I'm not very good at!) but in the end, it came out pretty good!
Well, I'm off to enjoy the last of the summer sun and warmer weather. We are heading out to kayak in Puget Sound!
The stamp is from Yvonne Albritton designs and I used a water brush and normal cake water color paints. The back ground is done with wax paper and a Quickutz embossing folder, that I ran through the CB, ironed onto a piece of cardstock and then colored with pine needle green distress ink. It didn't come out at all like I wanted it to, because some of the wax paper design from the previous one transferred over as well. But thought it looked good enough for framing this flower. The corners are done using the Fiskars border punch in just the two corners. The word label is cut (cuttlebug die) from water color paper and then stamped with a sentiment from tag tid bits from TAC.
This first one measures 4 1/2 x 5 1/2! The flower stamp is from Yvonne Albritton Designs and colored with chalk and chalk blending solution. I added a bit of stardust gel pen to the flower for some bling in the center and on the edges. The grosgrain ribbon goes really well with the light burgundy and green Bazzill card stock in real life. This picture darkened them up a bit. The sentiment is from Alota stamps.
This one measures 4 x 8 and would make a wonderful wedding card - in a classy black and white sorta way! Stamp is from Sunday International and stamped in versamark and embossed with Glacier white embossing powder from CHF. I then stamped it in Memories black, then embossed with clear EP and cut it out. I then popped it up with foam tape. The white card stock is ran through the cuttlebug embossing folder twice - one end at a time. 5/8 grosgrain black ribbon was used to tie a knot and I had to slip in some skinny white satin ribbon for added dimension. This cards reminds me that opposites attract!
