Lakeside Cove Scenes

Playing around again with large lakeside cove set from Stampscapes.

All scenes were created by starting with glossy white paper, stamping the components of the scenes with memento ink, and then brayering the different colors over the top.

If interested in ordering, I ordered directly from Stampscapes.com and the set was Lakeside Cove Large - Nature Unmounted sheet.


Sentiment is from Stampin' Up's Really Good Greetings set.

This is a CASE of one created by Kevin Nakagawa. Added word window punch and decorative brads.

Stampscapes Father's Day

I have been enjoying playing around with the stampscapes large lakeside cove stamp set. They were stamped on gloss white paper with mementos ink, then brayered over with various shades of blue and aqua.

Bitty Butterfly Thank Yous

 

My computer is down so I will post details later. It has been way too long since my last post :) I have been enjoying summertime while it's here. Lots of good times with friends and family. But I was able to sneak in a little play time with some of the new goodies from the 2013 - 2014 catalog!

Colored the flowers and butterfly with markers - baja breeze, island indigo, garden green. Added a little Signo white gel pen. Added shadows under flowers and butterfly with Sahara Sand marker. Background panel is Pool Party.

Thank you Katherine Constable of Australia for the inspiration - I originally saw her card similar to this on Stampin' Connection!

MOSAIC pattern case

I CASE'd this card from a posting on Splitcoast Stampers for one of my workshop cards this week. Such a fun pattern, using the new MOSAIC MADNESS stamp set with matching MOSAIC punch and embossing folder! I used paper circles for the center, because I had 25 people in the workshop and couldn't provide 225 basic jewels :)

I used Real Red and new in color Coastal Cabana for my colors.

Wildflower Birthday

SUPPLIES:

• ink: Pretty in Pink, Lucky Limeade, Real Red, Night of Navy, Island Indigo
• stamps: Wildflower Meadow, Label Love
• accessories: Wildflower Meadow folder, Artisan Label punch, non SU ribbon

After inking entire Wildflower Meadow with Pretty in Pink, I then colored bird and flowers with markers, huffed and stamped. Embossed with matching Wildflower Meadow folder.

Note: I made this for a card workshop, and everyone loved the card. However, it took so long for each person to color the stamp, that it left people waiting for too long. So, I wouldn't recommend it as a great hands-on card!
