You've Got This - Ink Resist & Sponging

Sometimes blending several colours together to get the effect you want can be a little challenge. But if you are willing to try it out on scraps and experiment a little you can surprise yourself. For this card I combined several layers, each one covering less and less area. But it wasn't until I applied the last colour, Tip Top Taupe,  that it all came together for this Ink Resist card.

For the inside I used a lighter, softer touch with the colours and second stamped the sentiment inside breaking it in half rather than full on to look like it was a part of a vertical text pattern.

Hope some inspiration has come your way for some of your own creations. 

Thank you for stopping by! I'm enjoying my family's visit!!

I know I've said it before, but I just love light blues and greens together! For this card I used the water colour stamping technique. I was happy to find out that it even works on vellum!

The trick is to let it sit for a couple of minutes and wipe away the water and excess quickly so that the colour doesn't just spread around.

This is just regular Whisper White. You don't have to use Water Colour Paper like I did for the banner on the outside front.

This technique works best with the more solid stamps, not the outline stamps. Try it out and see the effect it has.

Thank you for stopping by today. Taking the 5 grandchildren to the Running of the Goats at Beacon Hill Park this morning. Such a fun thing to witness!

Happy Stamping!

Lovely Amazing You - Feather Wreath

TWO DAYS LEFT! To Earn Free Stamps in June’s Join Promotion! See below.


This card is bright and cheerful as well as fun in colour. One that one of my Grand-daughters might enjoy. Yellow, red & black always remind me of Back-to-School.  As this stamp set has only a feather and an envelope, I wanted to see what I could create with the feather that would be a little different. A feather wreath!

I used So Saffron, Crushed Curry, & Hello Honey. How did I get a good circle? I placed a 2" punched circle to stamp around. The banner were of course made with the new Triple Banner Punch!

I pinched two 1/8" holes and fed a triple folded piece of embroidery floss through to tie the bow. I forgot to take a photo of the inside, sorry.

Thank you for stopping by!

Lovely Amazing You - Chocolate

I'm not sure why there was mention of chocolate in this stamp set when the only images are a feather and an envelope. But I wanted to use the sentiment anyway. So that means using chocolate colours, right!

Then to top it off, I didn't have any Chocolate Chip ribbon left, so after checking all my options, I used Espresso.

Had fun with the little tiny heart stamp! Be careful! This is an easy on to loose!

Love those little envelopes! Would be a great stamp for scrapbooking, too.

Happy Stamping everyone!

Lovely Amazing You - A Flop?

OK. Today I'm showing you a card that to me is very close to a flop. I'm not saying it's a bad card, it's just not what I envisioned it to turn out like, and it's definitely not me! Not my style. I could see some of my grand-daughters liking this card though. I also wanted to show you that we all have those projects that just don't quite come together for us. Needless to say this will not be appearing in any class.

Each envelope is stamped and cut out and then layered. The bottom section is a masked section of Watermelon Wonder sponged on and then later stamped with white feathers.

The inside is better I think. Masking is again involved in the stamping of the envelopes.

Later today, my two daughters and their families will be arriving, and I'm super excited to see them all!

Have a great day, and Happy Stamping!

Lovely Amazing You - Marina Mist & Mint Macaron

I just love soft blues and greens together! It is well reflected in my home, although softer than these colours on the card. I know many of you don't care to fussy cut out images and such, but I don't mind, becuse I love the finished look.  

From two different angles you can see better the layering of this card.

And for the inside just some simple second stamping of the feathers.

Did I say how much I love this colour combo? LOL!

Thank you for stopping by today, and Happy Stamping!

Lovely Amazing You - Doilie & Feathers

Cream and black, I always find an elegant combination. Since I received my order of "Timeless Elegance" DSP in these colours along with Sahara Sand colours, I've had these colours more on my mind. I used a scrap piece of the DSP on this card.     

I love the sentiments in this set! I also did  little trick on the feather stamp. I used my Mint Macaron Stampin' Write pen to make stroke marks on the feather before stamping it. You can see that this pushed the ink on the stamp away, creating some lines.  

Surprise, surprise! I didn't use any dimensionals on this card! The brad and silver thread bow are the only things that create some dimension.  

And on the inside, I payed with second stamping the feathers. This is a pretty quick, easy and clean and simple (CAS) card.

A great stamp set. Check below for details. 

Happy stamping everyone!
