Miss You Artisan Entry

 

Last non-winning Artisan Contest Entry.

 

Used Secret Garden, Lacy & Lovely stamp sets; word window punch, secret garden framelits, oval punch, scallop oval punch, mini brads, square lattice and fancy fan EFs, finishing touches edgelits. Thanks for looking!

Secret Garden Thank You

SUPPLIES:

• cardstock - basic gray, naturals white, kraft, watercolor paper
• ink - early espresso, night of navy
• stamps - elements of style, secret garden, lacy & lovely
• accessories - markers, oval and scallop oval punch, secret garden framelits, square lattice folder, midnight muse ribbon

For the background, I stamped elements of style flower in early espresso ink on naturals white cardstock and then embossed with the square lattice folder. Then I colored with the markers, and it gave it a vintage, antiqued look. 

I stamped the large flowers on watercolor paper; colored in using marker layering technique with bashful blue, baja breeze, night of navy and blender pen.

Seasonal Happiness Shared

SUPPLIES:

• stamps - happiness shared, sincere salutations
• ink - old olive, lucky limeade, pink pirouhette, stazon black, cherry cobbler, markers, blender pen
• cardstock - real red, whisper white
• accessories - lacy brocade EF, square lattice EF, oval and scallop oval punch, cherry cobbler seam binding ribbon, pearl, lacy circle and circle die (spellbinders)

Thought it would be fun to do traditional holiday colors with a non-holiday stamp.

Butterfly Trio

cardstock - primrose petals, white
ink - melon mambo, soft suede
stamps - papillon potpourri, sincere salutations
accessories - primrose petals satin stitched ribbon, oval punch, scallop oval punch, rhinestones (not SU), chevron EF, double sided tape, zots (for butterfly pop-outs & ribbon)

For you Floral

Well, at least I used a different EF and did not use the lace ribbon border punch ( :  Still couldn't sway myself away from the label framelit.  I was trying to do the marker layering and have it turn out as beautiful as Karen Barber and many of the other amazing stamping artists out there - hopefully with a little practice.  I may need to change this out to a get well soon card - my best friend's mom just fell off her bike and broke her knee cap.  She is having surgery today - ouch!

Homegrown Simplicity

Simple, but elegant.  Made this for a friend who loves gardening.

Elements of Style
