Floral Beauty - Prisma Pencils

Although this stamp (Large Wisteria 1161S ) is one of my favorites it is also the largest I've ever found, it is an A5 size and comes from Beeswax Stamps it is what I call a challenge stamp as it is like an etching with no clear defined lines.
I stamped the image in Archival black ink directly onto the card then selected some prisma pencils, 2 green, 2 lavender blue, 1 pink & 1 darker blue. I coloured the image and used baby oil to blend the colours.
I cut out the oval for the Lady with nestabilities and added it to the card so it was encircled in the wisteria, and stamped Bloom along the bottom of the card.

Does My Bum Look Big In This...

Tomorrow is my Daughter Lauren's 21st Birthday and unlike my other Daughter Natalie she likes quite Girly things.
I don't do Girly Cards, so why I started this one I'll never know.
I used Woman of life stamp set for the flower background and I used Pink Petticoat download images for the hippo I coloured the hippo in paint shop pro.

Stationary


I started my stationary by using sheets of white A5 size paper and A6 envelopes. some ink and stamps.

I started by stamping a branch at the top of the paper then started to stamp the blossoms, I stamped the blossoms 3 times moving the stamp along slightly each time.

I stamped some inspirational wording around the image then repeated the process of the stamping onto the envelope flap.

I stamped my monogram onto a label sheet, these can be found at a stationary shop for printing address and packaging labels. I used the Just Rite Monogram stamp, this is a very handy stamp for wedding and engagement invites.

I punch out the Monogram with a circle punch then peeled off the backing paper and stuck this over the envelope flap to seal it.


Remember When... The Sample Sheet

As you know us crafters are known to not waste a thing so I thought i would show you a DL sized card made from the sample sheet that you get with the La Pashe Remember When... .
I didn't decoupage every piece instead I picked out a select few just to give the card some dimension.

Birds of a Feather - Take Flight

Chocolate and Blue (aqua mist) Not sure of this result but I think it should be shown never the less.
I used the Birds of a Feather and Beautiful Bloom stap sets by PTI and stamped them using Chocolate ink. I used Aqua Mist and Chocolate card stock and Nestabilities Ovals.
Once I stamped the images I applies glossy accents by ranger which give a raised wet look to the stamping.
