CAS #107

Somehow the idea in my head did not translate to paper. I wanted to stamp directly onto the cardstock but then that wasn't going to work with the scallopping and I think the red is a bit dark for the shade of green. Anyway, I think this design can improve, perhaps use SU Mellow Moss.

What you need


Cardstock - SU Always Artichoke, Real Red, Very Vanilla
DSP - SU Dashing
Stamps - SU Lovely as a Tree, Punches 3
Ink - SU Real Red; PTI Vintage Cream
White Prismacolour pencil
SU Dazzling Diamonds

OLW #16

This past week, I have enjoyed being 'inspired' by cards in magazines particularly Papercrafts magazine.  Two of them have been far more embellished than is really my style but have had fun doing them and quite pleased with the results.  This has been to the detriment of the challenges I like to follow, so I finally settle down to doing them late Sunday afternoon (fading light and all). 

Telling a story - hmmm.  Most of the stamps I have in that catogory are trees, no surprise there (flourishes don't tell stories sadly).  This is a lovely PTI set not used nearly enough by me, but now the trees have been 'christened', will hopefully see the ink pad more often.  The birds are gold embossed but it was very hard to get them to twinkle in the afternoon light.

What you need

Cardstock - SU Basic Black
Stamps - PTI Through the Trees
Ink - Versamark;  PTI Fresh Show
Embossing powder - Celebrations of Australia (fantasy gold)
