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.

• Easy 8 Card Wonder template with Forever Fern in a kit to go!

  June 5, 2020

  ---

  I'm super excited about my newest One Sheet Wonder; I'm calling it the Easy 8 Card Wonder.  I've been doing a bunch of quick card layouts on my Monday night FB live's and have loved the comments on how simple and easy the cards have been.  People are actually making cards and building their stash AND sending them out too!  I LOVE hearing this!  

  So I wanted to create a simple card plan using our beautiful stamped images as the main focus of the cards.  

  Save

  The 8 Card Wonder features a template you print on neutral card stock and stamp on the other side.  Then just cut on the printed lines and assemble your cards like shown.  Here's the stamped 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock before I turned it over and cut on the printed lines. 

  The Forever Fern distinktive images in this stamp set are absolutely stunning!

  You can see part of the template under the cards here:

  For these cards I used Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock ink and card stock.

• Forever Fern card with video; quick & gorgeous!

  June 4, 2020

  Forever Fern is my absolute favorite stamp set in the new annual catalog so far.  The images are beautifully detailed and Distinktive!  That means that with one inking you get multiple hues of color on your stamped image.  Look at the detail and natural shading! See it here.

  Save

  I chose to use Pretty Peacock, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive here.  That pretty die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.  

  If you want this stamp set you might wait to order it along with my newest 8 card wonder; it's included in the kit to go!  Click here to order.  Quantities are limited! More Details will be posted tomorrow!
