It's been awhile

It's been awhile since I've posted on my blog. The end of the school year was crazy, but I survived. I had a busy May, took a breather the first part of June and have been spending some time in my stamping room playing for a few days.

Here is a card that I "CASED". It uses the large flower from the pretties kit, a clear button (w/paper sliver for thread), whisper white card stock and riding hood red card stock. I also used the top note die and big shot for the inside.

Here is another card I "CASED". It uses the tab punch and 1 3/8" circle punch to make the flower. The stem was made using the big shot basket and blooms die, the leaves were made with the 5 petal flower punch.



I have had a few workshops where I have been sharing the re-inker spread technique. To do this technique, you need a line art stamp (like 5th Avenue Floral) and either watercolor or shimmery white card stock. First, stamp your image in versamark. Heat emboss (I used winter white embossing powder). Then you will want to spritz with water until it puddles. Then take 2-3 colors of ink (a few drops on a plastic lid works great) and dip your aqua painter in the ink. Then touch the tip of the inked aqua pen to the puddles of water. The ink will spread and fill in each area of the embossed stamp. Let dry 20-30 minutes or dry with heat tool. Cut out the image and attach to your card.
