Creative Combination:
Marina Mist
Crumb Cake
Cajun Craze
I decided to go for a little Western flavor for these colors, using the 'Out West' stamp set. I tried to make the layers look like leather, so some embossing and a lot of sponging was involved, after covering the CS layer with tiny, torn pieces of masking tape. I like how my cowboy turned out for this card.
Getting Started Combination:
Marina Mist
Real Red
Old Olive
This is a fabulous color combination -- really vibrant!
Using the 'For You Flower' stamp and the hearts from the 'Confetti' stamp set, I created a happy little card and added a fun touch with little strawberries. I embossed a small piece of Real Red CS with the polka dot embossing folder and then punched out little hearts with the Small Heart Punch. I added the Old Olive stem by using one of the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack punches. Wow! That was a mouthful!
Tip: The easiest way to attach such tiny pieces is by using a 2-Way Glue Pen.
To get all 3 colors on the flower stamp, I used the 'huff' method and Stampin' Write Markers. These markers give a super vibrant look to any project and stamp perfectly every time.
Dynamic Duo:
Marina Mist
Bashful Blue
Let's sail away on calm seas beneath a soft blue sky! I used the 'Sail Away' stamp (can't help but think of Enya when I say this stamp's name:) and 'The Open Sea' stamp set for this card. Using watercolor paper (cut with a circle die), the sailboat is stamped with VersaMark and embossed with Chocolate Chip EP. I then used reinkers to 'paint' the background. A Jumbo Eyelet adds a nice embellishment and the ribbon is slipped through it and then tied with a piece of embroidery thread. I added a tiny touch of bling by placing a small rhinestone in the center of the compass. This would be a good masculine card or nice for anyone who likes sailing or water scenes. I don't sail, but I love the card.
