Tre` Chic Flowers

 Inked and Tiled is such a pretty stamp set. Here the card base is Pebbled Path, along with Petal Pink, Basic Black and Basic White card stocks. I stamped the flowers in Petal Pink, then used a sponge dauber to add Calypso Coral ink to the base of the flower and Pebbled Path to the stems. Then I added Pebbled Path leaves stamped at the bottom. I didn't have any black enamel dots, so I used a Sharpie marker on some pearl Basic Jewels. I adhered the stamped layer to a Petal Pink layer. For the black trim I used the spiral notebook die from the Gorgeously Made bundle. To make the banners at the bottom, I used one inch strips of Petal Pink cardstock and embossed with three random embossing folders. Then I flagged the ends.

Feverishly Creating

 I took a break from the book I am writing and binding for my Great Niece, to do some stamping. After all, I must play with new things and I need some thank you cards.

The first two cards were made with the Crafting With You bundle and Masterfully Made DSP. I used the colors listed on the package and in the catalog for the DSP. There are tons of colors in that paper!! What a fun set! The dies and stamps allow you to create art on an easel, a paper trimmer, scissors, ruler, cut and emboss machine, spools of thread, yarn and an embroidery hoop. 

With these two cards, I used the same basic layout, but with different colors. I popped the paper trimmer with Dimensionals and glued the rest.

This card is the same layout as one done in a previous post, but with different DSP. This time I used Masterfully Made DSP and the same Inked and Tiled stamp set.

Inked and Tiled Stamp Set

 Oh how I love the way these images stamp! It's like I made nature prints. The Inked and Tiled stamp set was one of my favorites when I first saw it in the new catalog. Here I used Berry Burst, Fresh Freshia, Old Olive and Granny Apple Green and Soft Seafoam ink pads. I've found the Naturally Gilded specialty paper to be stunning and quite versatile. You can use your blending brushes to apply color, and the flowers still show. Since they are metallic (gold, silver, copper) the ink doesn't stick to those areas. The angle cut was done with the Basic Borders Dies, the accent piece is Berry Burst cardstock.
