    BEST OF 2010

    For my card, I used the new Randi’s Song set. I love the leaf block and beautiful script. I had some left over background from long ago projects and the colors just said Fall to me. I stamped the leaf block image 6 times onto an alcohol ink background (polished stone technique) and cut out three of the leaves to pop them up on the base image.  On the marigold layer, I stamped the script multiple times with the gold ink. I also stamped the shadow leaf with gold ink and the leaf veins using a Kpad. It’s attached to another background I call Gilded Rainbow (here’s the tutorial for this technique). The dk redwood brown layer was cut with deckle scissors and all layers were edged with a gold leafing pen. I wrapped some gold thread around the brown layer then attached it to a 8.5 x 4 (fits a #9 business envelope) card. The card was also marigold in color, but since I couldn’t find just the right color of rich paprika, I sponged it with color until I liked it.

    I love this new Brocade Background and the Never Thirst set is wonderful and I combined them for my card. A rainbow ink pad was used to brayer a piece of white card stock and the brocade was stamped over it with black ink. The well was stamped and colored with markers. After die cutting it (using the out of the box Nesite technique), I left the die in place and sponged some ink inside. Silver highlights were added with a metallic pen. I cut out an extra bucket to attach on the base image for a little dimension. After stamping the Proverb, I rounded the left corners and wrapped the right edge over the top two layers. I made a 1/2 inch faux brad out of some leftover background  and attached it to a 5/8 inch mustard circle.

    Thanks so much for stopping by! Your next stop will be Chris’ Blog and I know she’ll have something gorgeous to share.

  • ISC August Release Day 4

    Posted on by Julie 7 Comments

    Today, on our final day of August releases from Innovative Stamp Creations, I have two cards made with two of the sets released this week.  The first one is from  Nature Silhouettes  III.

    Julie Warner - justwritedesigns https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com/

    For this card, I inked the spider lily with lapis and azalea inks, stamped it twice,  cut one out and die cut the other with a mega oval die.  After sponging a little ink around the edges, I attached the cut out lily on top of the base image. I traced this same die on navy paper and cut it out by hand in order to get the narrow mat. The white mat is the next largest oval die.

    For the background, I placed a large flourish mask on my white card stock, stamped the ledger and several word images, then sponged on azalea ink. I stamped a few of the small butterflies and used one as mask. I placed this one in a couple of areas on the background, then sponged more ink over it. I added a corner punch and a white punched fence. The sentiment was punched with a multi size tag punch. Card measures 4.25 x 5.5 (A2).

    Supplies:
    stamps: ISC – Nature Silhouettes III
    paper: Neenah white, navy
    ink: Ancient Page azalea, lapis
    accessories: corner punch (All Night Media), multi tag punch (McGill), flourish mask (Heidi Swapp), Spellbinders mega oval dies, Martha Stewart iron gate border punch

    And this final card uses images from Sketch of Roses II.

    My final card I started by stamping the large background with a dk plum ink onto watercolor paper.  I used various pink dye inks direct to paper (DTP) then misted it with water and distressed the edges. The rose image and greeting were stamped with Stazon onto a piece of acetate. On the back side, I used a white China marker to make the images stand out. I added a hint of color to the rose and leaves with markers (on top of the white China marker). It’s attached to a heavily distressed piece of purple card stock. I created the embossed background by inking the the grid embossing folder, misting a piece of white card stock, then placing it in the folder and embossing.  A bow was added and I glued a few beads onto a stick pin and attached it to the bow.  Card measures 5.5 x 4.25 (A2).

    Supplies:
    stamps: ISC Sketch of Roses II
    paper: white, purple, water color, acetate
    ink: Printworks (various pinks & purples), Stazon black
    accessories: white China marker, green & pink Galaxy markers, beads, ribbon, stick pin, grid embossing folder (Sizzix/Tim Holtz)
