Green Thumb

It should be the time of year that we are harvesting the fruits of our labor! This "homegrown" set is fun and fresh. I stamped the artichoke all around on certainly celerly cardstock, diecut the center with the labels framelit, sponged in limeade and certainly celerly, embossed the outer background portion with square lattice. Cut two outline frames in black with the labels framelits; put a frame inside a frame, tied ribbon underneath the small frame. I stamped another artichoke on whisper white and cut around it, added some pop up circles. Stamped itty bitty banner sentiment and added to card; added rhinestones. Matted card with black and certainly celery.

SUPPLIES:
  • paper: certainly celery, whisper white, black
  • stamps: homegrown, itty bitty banners
  • ink: black stazon, certainly celery, limeade
  • misc: sponge daubers, blender pen, bitty banners framelits, labels framelits

Butterfly Sunset

I used the brayer technique on this card. I first stamped the field flowers and butterfly in black stazon; then stamped the shading part of field flowers in so saffron. I colored the butterfly with markers. Then I used a versamarker to cover the images and embossed them with clear embossing powder. I brayered daffodil delight in bottom left corner at an angle. After masking off the sun with a post it, I brayered from the top right hand corner at an angle: so saffron; then moving up a little and not quite covering all of the so saffron  added calypso coral; then not covering all of the calypso coral added melon mambo; sponged in so saffron on the sun.

  • cardstock - melon mambo, black, whisper white

Happy Thoughts of You


This is my first attempt at the baby wipe technique. I took 4 reinkers and dropped a few of each color in a row on a baby wipe and wiped it directly on Whisper White cardstock. As I continued down, some of the colors overlapped. Then I stamped the flower directly over the top. Card is matted in early espresso.

SUPPLIES (all SU unless otherwise noted):
  • Cardstock: early espresso, whisper white, melon mambo
  • Ink: elegant eggplant, calypso coral
  • Reinkers: calypso coral, melon mambo, wisteria wonder, pool party
  • Stamps: Field Flowers
  • Punches: dotted scallop ribbon border, decorative label, martha stewart edge punch
  • Misc: ribbon, pink rhinestones (not SU)
