Having fun playing with my new stuff. This is the first time I've had the seam binding ribbon and I love working with it. It is so easy - especially for a lackluster bowtier like me! The window frames framelits are new too! I stamped the poppies on watercolor paper, colored with blender pen and ink, cut with window frame framelit, then pierced. Added labels framelit in black with distressed edges. The background paper is from DCWV mat stack; embossed with vintage wallpaper EF then distressed edges and matted with black, also distressed edges.
SUPPLIES:
cardstock - black, watercolor, very vanilla, rose (not SU)
stamps - pleasant poppies, take it to heart (birthday banner), happiest birthday wishes
ink - real red, calypso coral, pretty in pink, black stazon, always artichoke
misc - blender pen, itty bitty punches, paper piercing, vanilla seam binding ribbon, pearl rhinestones, vintage wallpaper EF, edge distresser, window frame and labels framelits
To make this card I first stamped the poppy image in rich razzleberry on whisper white cardstock, heat embossed to set ink, then colored image with versamark pen and heat embossed with clear EP. Brayered pink pirouhette, cajun craze, rich razzleberry, not quite covering the previous color as I brayered the next; embossed the image with perfect polka dot EF and cut with labels framelits and sponged rich razzleberry around the edges.
This is a simple and elegant thank you card using the flower from an old hostess set called simply soft. I love how the 2 step stamping works on this flower to give it a watercolor look.
The idea of this card was a love you or valentine MANCARD. This truck is from the countryside stamp set. The background paper is cajun craze, baja breeze, soft suede, black and floral districut DSP. The truck was stamped in stazon brown on watercolor paper, then colored with markers and blender pen. I stamped LOVE on baja breeze and added to tailgate of truck. I had to piece together the "all i want is you" phrase and "love" from different stamp sets. After I cut the truck image with the labels framelits, I also used the labels framelits on soft suede, then trimmed off the bottom portion and adhered to the truck image. Then added a small strip of black.
