Green Thumb

The sun was shining and strawberry's always remind me of summer so out came the Green Thumb stamp set by Papertrey Ink, bright red ribbon and card stock Brilliance Rocket Red ink and I sat down and started stamping, the cherries where fun to create, I added Ranger glossy accents to the cherries to give them dimension and shine.

You can see from this shot that I added Ranger glossy accents to the card to highlight water droplets.

In the next two cards I used photo stamps by The Stampsmith I find that using a brayer to apply the ink to the stamp the best way to ink these up as it gives an even coverage, I never get good results by applying the ink pad directly to the stamp.

The Dress Stamp was a bargain it was an ex-demo stamp it is made by

Inkadinkado I stamped this in archival ink and coloured using the Prisma pencils

Bling..

Another photostamp, this one is great for adding a bit of sparkle to her jewelry it gives the card that glitzy look.

I added a matching flower made using my faithful pear punch

Bling is the name of this stamp from The Stampsmith but who exactly is she? what's her name? I know the face and I love the image but can I put a name to her....nope!

Beautiful Blooms

This is another card that started out as testing some stamps, I love the leaves in the Beautiful Blooms set by PTI, I also like the fact that they come with a few different overlay stamps that can also be used on their own too.

I started by stamping the leaves in different direction from each of the corners of the card then used the dotted overlay stamp in a darker shade of the green to highlight the leaves. I then started adding the blooms by stamping the solid shape in lemon chalk ink then added the ouline blooms in a perlescent orange shade.

I made a focal point by stamping the largest of the blooms on a seperate piece of white card stock and added the individual leaves around it, I then added glossy accents to the bloom and matted and layered onto white and matching green card tying a lemon grosgrain ribbon between the layers.

Remember When... (Too much) Time at the Bar

May Blog Hop - Decorative Score Lines

I used a square 6" x 6" tent folded card and using the Scor-Pal I placed the top corner of the card into the 4" score line I then scored diagonally to the opposite corner and then scored at every inch score line until I had completed half of the card in a triangle shape, I then repeated the scoring from the other top corner.

I used the Wedding Day and the Boxes, Bags and Tags Stamp sets by Papertrey Ink to stamp the card using the Sweet Blush ink. I cut a scalloped circle from the Sweet Blush card stock and A plain circle from the Basic White card stock and stamped these using the above stamp sets.

I finished the card by adding some pale pink pearls and a white net ribbon.
