Holiday Ornament

SUPPLIES:

stamps - ornament keepsakes, teeny tiny wishes
cardstock - very vanilla
ink - cherry cobbler, pink pirouhetteI
accessories - holiday frame EF, square lattice EF, bitty banners framelits, holiday ornaments framelits, raspberry ripple ribbon, pearls

I inked the ornament stamp and center circle from the ornament keepsakes set with pink pirouhette marker, then colored outer edges with cherry cobbler marker; huffed on it before stamping.

Bordered Doily


I have the privilege of teaching a card workshop at a senior living facility. This is the card we will be making.

To achieve the crisp border on the doily, I first inked the entire stamp with crumb cake, then colored the edges with a cherry cobbler marker as well as the small edge of the center.

Ornament Elegance

Simple card using the ornament keepsakes bundle. Also used square lattice EF, vintage wallpaper EF, finishing touches edgelits. Ornaments are inked with baja breeze and so saffron.

(I thought I should do a simple, almost monochromatic card after my previous wildly colored post "colorful woodgrain")

Antiqued Elements

SUPPLIES:

stamps - elements of style, teeny tiny wishes
ink - espresso, crumb cake, so saffron, always artichoke
cardstock - so saffron, espresso, whisper white, crumb cake
accessories - bitty banners framelits, labels framelits, vintage wallpaper EF, square lattice EF, crumb cake ribbon, itty bitty punches, pearls

I inked the vintage wallpaper EF with crumb cake and espresso for the white background panel. I cut crumb cake with labels framelit, inked the vintage wallpaper EF with so saffron and crumb cake, then embossed.

Colored the flower from elements of style with blender pen and crumb cake, espresso, so saffron, always artichoke.

Colorful Woodgrain

SUPPLIES:
 
stamps - sincere salutations, lovely as a tree
ink - pumpkin pie, rich razzleberry, melon mambo, wild wasabi, going green, black stazon
cardstock - espresso, whisper white
accessories - primrose petals stitched ribbon, scallop oval and scallop punch, large scallop edgelit, woodgrain embossing folder
 
To make the background on the woodgrain, I colored the negative of the embossing folder with a pumpkin pie and rich razzleberry pen.

For the tree scene, I stamped the tree in stazon black, masked off the sun, and sponged in the various colors.
