Happy Sunday!
I am sharing two fun cards today on the Technique Junkies blog.
The first day of spring is tomorrow! So ya'll know how much I loved working with this great new background stamp All About Spring. Here is my first card:
To create this card, I used my Misti, so that each time I stamped, the placement was accurate. I began with the top section. I masked off the lower section of the stamp, and inked up the upper section with pink ink. I removed the mask, and made my first stamp. The next section was done the same way, except for masking off the upper and lower sections, and stamping only the 3 green lines. This process was repeated for the lower section. The word 'Spring' was stamped onto a piece of cardstock, trimmed closely, matted with a matching orange border & popped up using dimensional foam. Note: I did re-stamp a flower in yellow, and pop it up over top of the green stamped flower.
Here is my next card:
To create this card, I grabbed up a Kraft card base, and a focal panel piece, also in Kraft. Using the beautiful new Pretty Line Florals background stamp, I stamped the background with Versamark ink, so it is a pretty, soft, tone on tone. Next, using Catherine Pooler's Midnight Ink, I stamped the gorgeous new sentiment No Greater Love. The focal panel was matted with a black panel, and adhered to the card base. Quick and easy!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Food for thought: Good manners sometimes means simply putting up with other people's bad manners.

Two fab cards Patti, LOVE how you stamped your sentiment on the first! Just looks so happy and spring-like!!
ReplyDeleteI just love both your cards, Patti. I always forget about the tone-on-tone affect when using Versamark. It really does make a lovely background. I need to try that more often. Thanks, as usual, for the inspiration. Is your brain always in craft mode? You seem to come up with so many fab ideas!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like them both, but I especially like the second one. Great stamp.
ReplyDeleteThese are both beautiful creations Patti! I'm so in the mood for Spring and warm sunshine! Your cards have me feeling inspired for it too! Love your idea with the colorful Spring image in different colors! I love how you did that! The second card is beautiful with the subtle background and the Scripture stands out nicely! Sending hugs
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards - I don't know how I missed these. Ready for REAL spring weather, not this off and on we have been having. I love the tone on tone and seldom use it, but is a technique that I really like.
