Fine Art Parade

Sometimes you just have to let the image shine on its own. Thoughts?

Stamps:

   Art Gallery

Paper:

   Poppy Parade A-2

   Fine Art Floral DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Golden Garden Designer Acetate 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 3-1/4 x 4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Mossy Meadow

   Poppy Parade

   Flirty Flamingo

Technique:

   2-Step Stamping

   CAS

Accessories:

   Fine Art Ribbon

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the acetate to the DSP, adding glue dots where they would not be noticed. Under the image panel is a perfect place.

I then stamped my image and sentiment. I used Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade as the accent color on the petals. I then used Mossy Meadow on the leaves and stem as well as the sentiment.

Next, I wrapped a ribbon around the panel and tied it off in a bow.

I adhered the panel to the center of the acetate/DSP panel and then onto the card front.

Lastly, I added a couple of rhinestones and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Tough Cookie

Sometimes life throws us situations that require us to be tough. Here is a card to lend some support or acknowledgement for meeting those challenges. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   A Little Cheesy

Paper:

   Early Espresso A-2

   Gingham Gala 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 3-1/2" Sq., 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Crumb Cake

Technique:

   Coloring

Accessories:

   Glittered Organdy Ribbon - 21"

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my sentiment in the right-center of the Basic White square panel.

I then stamped cookies around the sentiment. I made sure I fit as many whole cookies as possible and then stamped partial ones to fill in where space allowed.

I then colored the cookies with markers. I used Early Espresso for the chocolate chips. I then added Baked Brown Sugar to the ones that were off the card. (They looked a bit burned.) Finally, I added Crumb Cake to the main cookies surrounding the sentiment. 

Next, I adhered the small panel to the DSP panel.

Then I wrapped the glittered organdy ribbon around the entire panel and tied a bow in the center.

This panel was then adhered to the card base.

Lastly, I added a few enamel dots and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Beach Front

This is definitely a beautiful, peaceful day at the beach. The water looks so cool and inviting. What do you think?

Beach Front

Stamps:

   Oceanfront

   Special Moments

Paper:

   Bermuda Bay A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5 1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Coastal Cabana

   Bermuda Bay

   Crumb Cake

   Cinnamon Cider

   Evening Evergreen

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Pebbles Enamel Shapes

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sky, using Coastal Cabana.

I then used Bermuda Bay for the water. This is the next stamp in line.

The sand was stamped using Crumb Cake. 

I then added a bit of gritty sand in Cinnamon Cider.

The grasses were stamped in Evening Evergreen.

Next, I added a birthday sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

Lastly, I added a few pebbles and adhered the panel to a Basic Black matte and then onto the Bermuda Bay card front. The other Basic White panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

Note, that I stamped everything in the center of the Basic White panel, making this a vertical card. Still, if you decide to include a friend, I made this card with a friendship stamp (from the same Special Moments stamp set) and made the card a horizontal image. You stamp the image to the left of the panel and add the sentiment on the right, or vice-versa. What do you think?

Beach Front Too

Food trucks are a big deal today. Although their menu is limited, they are fast, convenient, and mobile. Thoughts?

Stamps:

   2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots

   Adhesive

First, I added some Bumblebee ink to the Basic White panel using my Blending Brush.

I then colored in the image using the markers listed above. 

    Bermuda Bay - Truck

    Blueberry Bushel - Awning, Window Frames, etc.

    Bumblebee - Awning, Light, Tacos

Fernly Thanks

Adding dimensionals between layers can really make your images pop. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Nature's Prints

   Beyond the Horizon, 03/2022 Paper Pumpkin

Paper:

   Soft Suede A-2

   Soft Sea Foam 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), Scraps

Ink:

   Garden Green

   Soft Sea Foam

Accessories:

   Natural Prints Dies

   Fern 3D Embossing Folder

   In Good Taste Elements

   Paper Pumpkin Tag

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed my Soft Sea Foam panel. I misted it with a bit of water to soften the fibers. This keeps it from tearing.

I then used a blending brush to add some Soft Sea Foam ink. It brought out the embossed images a bit more.

Next, I stamped the various leaves on scraps of Basic White, using Garden Green and Soft Suede.

I then die cut them and arranged them on my panel. I adhered one fern leaf and the Soft Suede bunch using liquid adhesive. I then added the large leaves with dimensionals. Lastly, I added liquid glue and one dimensional to the bottom fern.

Next, I stamped a left-over Paper Pumpkin tag and added it with dimensionals.

I then adhered this panel to the Soft Suede card front.

Lastly, I added a wooden leaf to the card front and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Thank You Feelings

Color directly onto your designer series paper and give it a new look. This particular paper has been discontinued, but I wanted to use it for a color challenge. So, I added the two missing colors. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Good Feelings

Paper:

   Magenta Madness A-2

   Night of Navy 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Floral Boutique DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), Scrap

Ink:

   Magenta Madness

Technique:

   Punching 

   Coloring

Accessories:

   Corner Rounder Punch

   2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I colored in the flowers, using a Magenta Madness marker.

I then colored in the background with a Daffodil Delight marker. I wanted it to have a bit of a messy look. So, you can see the marker marks and a bit of the white still showing through. 

I then adhered it to the Night of Navy matte, and then onto the Magenta Madness card front.

Next, I stamped my sentiment on a scrap of Basic White, using Magenta Madness ink.

I rounded the four corners, using a corner rounder punch.

Lastly, I added an enamel dot, a few rhinestones and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
