The Write Stuff

Karen Haman’s tha man! Better known as kthaman and she’s the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS272)!

She has such a fabulous, extensive gallery and I couldn’t pick just one. So this first card is based on her Rain or Shine. I kept the layout but used a die cut, different sentiment and different colors. The sentiment is from Darcie’s Sparkle set. The chandelier is a Quickutz die. The sentiment panel and lampshades are made of white vellum and I added some score lines down the sides of the sentiment  and some embossed dots on the lampshades. The little candle flames were die cut in white and color added w/ markers. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Darcie’s – Sparkle set

Paper: Neenah white, sand, dp (Recollections), white vellum, black textured

Ink: Ancient Page coal

Accessories: Tombow markers, Cuttlebug Swiss dot embossing folder, Quickutz chandelier die, pink crystals, sheer black ribbon, Mini Bowdabra, Scorbuddy

My second card is based on Karen’s Rainbow Branches. I used a similar layout and kept the fabulous rainbow of colors, but used different images and added an embossing folder.

The images are all from DRS Designs.   I loved her rainbow colors so I colored all the candles differently then die cut the label (this image is also wonderful on the front of an envelope) using a resized Spellbinders rectangle die. I did the same for the orchid layer behind it as well as the sentiment tags inside the frame. The background was embossed with a big dot folder and I added three cut out candles at the bottom.
