Downloaded Paper

before i bought this stamp set, i saw Nicole's blog on Papertrey Inc. Her blog was the first i ever put on a feed discovery so i can check it out all the time. anyway, i guess it was a promotional thing, they offered a link to download paper to go with the stamp set. i think it is supposed to be for digital scrapbooking, but i just had to print out a couple sheets to see how it would look on cards. i think it would use way to much ink to print it out very often. but i like how it turned out on cards.

stamps: papertrey spiral bouquet

inks: su close to cocoa, old olive stamped off once

Silky Together Forever

this is the first try at the faux silk technique. it is stamping on tissue paper, wadding, unwadding, then i gluded it to vanilla paper. it has a bit of texture to it. i think to see the texture clearly, you can click on the pic to make it a little bigger.
stamps: su together forever, a muse thanks
inks: su black, mellow moss, pale plum, barely bananna
paper: su mellow moss, vanilla, black, cream tissue paper

A Muse Wedding

here is one of my favorites. the silver layer is shimmery. the bride and groom are popped up.

you've probably seen my card set advertised on the side, i used this couple stamp with a grateful stamp on them, and they are good for a bridal present.
stamps: su polka dots and paisley, a muse couple, making memories words
ink: stazon black

Scalloped vs Popped

i used a new technique, i used cut up post-it notes on glossy paper, then brayered with soft sky ink. i took the post-its off and brayered again. also used the crayon resist technique. the card on the left has word window punches on the edges of the sentiment, the other has been popped up.
stamps: su bothway blossoms
inks: black, soft sky
paper: su soft sky, bayou blue

Pumpkin Crazy

this is one of my candles that i took to our local apple festival in the fall. i stamped on tissue paper, then colored with markers. cut out my image, and held it against the candle. then covered it with wax paper and heated it with a heat gun, then pulled the wax paper off.

the cards in the background were colored with watercolor pencils, then i used my aqua pen to actually watercolor them. here is a sample of the card sets that i took to the festival.

stamps: su thoroughly thankful

inks: old olive, pumpkin pie, really rust, chocolate chip, really red, summer sun, creamy caramel

paper: pumpkin pie, old olive, choc chip, white

Lovely Paisley and Stripes

i enjoyed making these because i love this stamp set. i copied a layout from someone on scs, theirs was great. i tried both background papers, paisley and stripes, and cannot decide which i like better. if you want, you can let me know your favorites. oh, and i watercolored the blooms.

stamps: su oh so lovely

inks: su old olive, groovy guava, bravo burgandy, river rock, chocolate chip

paper: su bravo burgandy, groovy guava, bayou blue

Pink Winter

i tried a different color scheme for winter. i used michelle's cuttlebug to emboss with snowflakes. i added a peel n stick jewel for the center of the snow burst.
stamps: su snow burst
ink: close to cocoa, pixie pink
paper: close to cocoa, pixie pink, white
