    Julie Warner - justwritedesigns - https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.comAm I late? I hope I can still get in to the Tea Party (MMTPT151), but I bet I’ll have to sneak in the back way. See my card has corners and it’s supposed to be round. I tried, rahly I did (said in my best Katherine Hepburn voice-which is hard for a southern girl, dontcha know?)

    I started out round…you can see by the center layers. But this card just wanted to be square. Who am I to argue? So I’ll just be hangin’ out by the back door and hopefully I won’t be alone.

    All images are Our Daily Bread designs. I stamped the crochet circle image 3 times, colored two and cut them out in layers. One water colored flower only. Two was the the inside circle, cut w/ a Spellbinders circle. Third was the whole image cut w/ an ODBD matching crochet circle die.

    For the big circle and square bg, I used water colors to make the bg and then stamped the crochet bg on top. I stamped and cut (w/ the matching ODBD border die) 4 strips of the crochet border to make the frame. As I was putting it together, I got to looking at the negative strips and decided to use them as well. So I added a little color to them and attached them offset behind the crochet borders. The sentiment is also on one of the negative strips. The finished card measures 5″ square.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Instead of a new release, this month we’re taking images of our choice and reworking, or using them again. Betsy says she gets a lot of request for more art using some of the butterfly images. We all buy images, maybe use them a few times, then move on to new stuff.  So this month, we’re using images from our stash and let me tell you, I used a whole bunch of different images from a lot of different releases. And I’ll mention here that NO Designer Paper was used. A lot of background images and inks were used to create the different looks.

    For inspiration on this first card, Betsy provided a link to a couple of pictures and I chose this Montage. I went very literal for my card. For the blue and green background, I used several texture background images from Textured  Backgrounds and Dimensional Elements Edges 1.  For the tan panel, I colored the inside of the embossing folder w/ a green marker and embossed it. All edges were sponged w/ the tea dye and chocolate inks. The frame was shortened to fit the central panel using a SAMJ and after coloring the butterfly w/ markers, I cut it out and attached it on top. The finished ivory card measures 5.5 square.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: ISC -Textured  Backgrounds,  Dimensional Elements Edges 1, Beautiful Butterflies III, Fruitful (frame), Tropics (greeting)
    Paper: ivory, blue, sage, tan
    Ink: VersaFine Onyx, Ancient Page chocolate, Distress Ink Tea Dye, Colorbox white pigment
    Accessories: Cuttlebug Bird Call embossing folder, Tombow markers, brads, small pin, SAMJ (stamp-a-ma-jig)

    On the second card, I used sponging and masking to create the main panel. A while back, I saw this card by TheresaCC when she was the featured stamper at Splitcoast. I loved the layout but didn’t have a chance to try it out until now. I stamped and masked the daisies and background leaves then stamped the daisies again on a separate piece of c/s. When I saw that the ribbon placement would cover the original images, I cut out the second set and attached them on top. The pink, blue and green inks were sponged onto the white panel w/ the image masks in place. The finished card measures 4.25 x 5.5.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: ISC – Oriental Nature Elements, Nature Silhouettes II, Nature Silhouettes III, Artful Décor, Silhouette Butterfly ATC, Marvels of Nature III (tiny butterflies)
    Paper: Neenah white, baby blue, black
    Ink: VersaFine Onyx, Memories soft baby blue & baby pink, Distress Ink shabby shutters, Colorbox baby blue pigment ink
    Accessories: Tombow markers, wide polka dot ribbon

    I love fall colors and this image was just made for them! On damp watercolor paper,  I floated in the various colors of dye reinkers using a fairly large paintbrush. After it dried, I stamped the image with permanent black ink.  I stamped the image a second time on a piece of card board. I cut both out, leaving a very narrow frame around the top and sides and glued them together. After sponging a little red ink on the edges of a piece of marigold card stock, I attached the cut out image to it.  I added a narrow black layer and a textured mustard one before attaching everything to a 5.5 x 4.25 white card. The sentiment was stamped on top of a scrap of the watercolored paper and cut out.

    This is also for the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast (IC255).
