Delicate Bouquet

Hello!

Today, I'm sharing a pretty card that I made with a new TJ stamp, Delicate Bouquet, from the May release at Technique Junkies.

Here's what I made:

The image and sentiment were stamped with black ink, and the image was colored with alcohol markers. (The sentiment is from Four LIttle Sentiments) Next, I used an 'outside the box' technique to die cut the image from white cardstock, then matted with a pretty orchid mat.  Once complete, the focal piece was adhered to a green card base, using dimensional foam squares.

Wisteria Background

Hello friends!

Today, I'm sharing a pretty card that I made, using a beautiful new stamp from the April release at Technique Junkies.

Today, I chose to work with Wisteria Background. I thought it would make

a pretty card.  I admit that I had to go to google to see what color my blooms should be! I was happy to see the gorgeous shades of purple and lilac, and couldn't wait to color my image!

Here's what I made:

The background was stamped onto white cardstock, and colored with alcohol markers. I adhered the panel to the card base, then pulled out a favorite stencil by A Colorful Life Designs, Grunge Dots. Using an Ink Blending Brush, some orchid/purple Distress Oxide inks were blended over the blank areas of the card front.  The sentiment, from the Four Little Sentiments set, was stamped and stenciled as well, prior to using a punch and some dimensional dots to pop it up on the card front.

These background stamps make it so easy to create masterpieces!
