You’re a peach suite

This week I’m featuring the You’re a Peach suite and today I’m using just a sentiment and the You’re a Peach DSP.

The paper is beautiful but due to the watercolor effect it wasn’t easy to pick a mat until I tried Early Espresso which works beautifully. After matting the 3 inch square with Early Espresso it was an obvious ink to use for the sentiment which comes from the Sweet as a peach stamp set. The base is Whisper White since I still have quite a stash of it!

The You’re a peach DSP is one of the 9 regular packs of designer series paper that are being sold at 15% off until August 2. So instead of $11.50 the packs are only $9.78. Buy a few packs and watch the savings mount up!

Party Puffins

Here’s another fun card using the Party Puffins and it also uses a fun technique.

Memento tuxedo black was used for all the image stamping. The fish was stamped first to ensure it was in the middle and then the right hand puffin. To stamp the left hand one, I used the same stamp but stamped on plastic which was then pressed onto the card stock. Since this is effectively stamping off, the black was rather pale so it was filled in with a Stampin’ Write marker.

Watercolor pencils in Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight coloured in the rest with a blender pen smoothing out the color. The fish and bow were also painted with Wink of Stella for a glittery effect. I didn’t want the fish to look old and tired. This was then matted in Calypso Coral and added to a Whisper White card base. The sentiment, from the Party Puffins set was stamped in Calypso Coral.

I’ll be demonstrating this card and two others today at 11am on my Facebook Live and also uploading it to YouTube.

Party Puffins

Here’s another fun card using a new set in the annual catalog.

The background was created by stamping the three candles in Shaded Spruce, Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay. This was added to a Gorgeous Grape card base. Next the birthday cake and sentiment were stamped in Gorgeous Grape and matted with the same. It was then popped up using dimensionals.

I’ll be demonstrating this card and two others on Sunday at 11am on my Facebook Live and also uploading it to YouTube.
