A gorgeous scene made with Wooded Acres; on the Last Chance List

I was playing around with the Wooded Acres stamp set and made a pretty scene by adding a blended background. 

Save

You may know I love creating pretty scenes with my stamps, ink and blending brushes. 

Here are the steps:

1. I stamped this image on a long post-it note and fussy cut the area above the ground off.  I stamped it on my White CS and then added the post-it note to mask the sky. 
2. Now I added Garden Green ink with a Blending Brush for grass. 
3. I removed the post it and replaced it with the other half to sponge the sky. I used Timid Tiger, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue. 
4. I layered it with Black and White card stock. 
5. I then stamped the same image on the Balmy Blue card base to extend the trees.  

What do you think?  

This stamp set is now on sale on the Last Chance List. You can see the stamp set here.

• Window cards!

  July 7, 2020

  ---

  A few weeks ago on my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Live we made window cards.  I called them that because I punched or die-cut a window in the front to reveal the greeting below.  Here's one version:

  I chose to use the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper for this card. There is such a wide variety of patterns, colors and styles in this pretty paper!  For the card above I used the Tasteful Labels, the Medium Daisy punch and the Lovely You stamp set.

  Here are all three cards I made to get them started.  I post the cards, measurements and supplies list a few days before the 'Live' so they can prep and gather their supplies.  Or if they cannot stamp with me Live, they can just make the cards using my ideas.  Check it out here.

  For the card below I used the Forever Fern stamp set in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Crumb Cake.  

  I punched a 2" circle from the White layer and added a die-cut from the Tasteful Labels dies.

• Third card from the Boho Indigo Product Medley

  July 6, 2020

  This is the last card in the trio we made with the Boho Indigo Product Medley.

  Almost everything is from the Product Medley except the punched flowers (Confetti Flowers Border punch) and Stitched Nested Labels. 

  The vase is stamped in Misty Moonlight and die-cut with the Boho dies in the Medley. The leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz. 

  The little flowers are punched from a piece of Designer Paper in the medley and the centers are added with a Chalk Marker. They're curled up a bit with a stylus.

  Measurements:

  • Misty Moonlight card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Designer Paper 2" X 4 1/4"
  • Pear Pizzazz strip 1/2" X 4 1/4"
