Double Flower

This is a card that I made for a friend's "going away" party. I used a unique color combination for something different. The flower is from the "Linear Sentiments" set. I stamped it once on light yellow card stock with VersaMagic Turquoise Gem ink and then stamped again, without re-inking, the lighter shade between the flower petals (although I was off quite a bit on this one).

I punched the scalloped circle out of "Cobalt" DCWV TAC paper. Then, used my "Circle Sampler" set (GREAT multipurpose set!!) and stamped a circle directly on to that paper. I used a circle punch to punch out the stamped flower and then adhered it to the scalloped circle. Then, I used an orange gel pen to make the circles in each scallop. I also outlined one of the stamped flowers with a glittering gel pen--which is hard to see in the photo. The sentiment is from a retired scripture set.

Here I did almost the same thing as I did in the card above only I made this one into a tag and attached it to a bottle of lotion and used it as a Bunko prize for our church group. This was simple and fun and added just a little something extra to the prizes.

Linear Sentiments

Here's a card I made using TAC's new "Linear Sentiments" stamp set. This set really is versatile and it'll make great masculine (and feminine) cards & scrapbook pages.

I stamped the stars and then cut them out, outlined them with black noir palette ink and popped each of them up on pop dots. The bottom patterned paper is made using 2 of the border strip stamps from this set. I then distressed the top and bottom edges and lined them with noir palette ink. After I finished stamping the panel, I then took a stipple brush, lightly dabbed it onto the noir ink pad and then touched it to the panel to add black "splashes" (for lack of a better term!).

The white star in the corner is stamped with Moonlight White Brilliance ink and so are the swirls from the "Curls & Swirls" set and the sentiment. (The sentiment at the bottom is now retired as it was a Level A hostess set from the previous catalogue.)

Pretty simple card!

Friendship Strips

Here's a simple card I made using the new Angel Company "Friendship Strips" and "Linear Sentiments" stamp sets.

This is just a small card. It only measures 3 x 3.

I took the new Super Jumbo flower punch and punched through a piece of acetate. Then, I used Iris Palette ink and the "Curls & Swirls" stamp set and stamped onto the acetate. I heated it carefully with my heat gun to dry the ink and then took New Canvas (white) Palette ink and dabbed the edges of the petals to help it stand out.

The orange strip is one of the images in the "Friendship Strips" set (LOVE this set!!). The ink color is VersaMagic Persimmon and it is stamped on the TAC Ivory cardstock. (This ink color is gorgeous.) I distressed the edges and lined them with the Palette Belle Rose ink.

The center of the flower is from the "Linear Sentiments" set and after I stamped it, I used a 1" hole punch to punch out just the size I needed (the whole stamped circle was larger than I needed) and then adhered it to the acetate. The flower is popped up using pop dots and you may be able to see the dimension better on this side view.



The sentiment is from the "Ordinary Greetings" set.
